Well for me this build 10074 is just as bad as the previous, and that is on the slow ring

Issues for me are.

  • If I try to use cortana the window opens and then promptly close again, after which I can't get the start menu to open, until I have rebooted
  • Still getting the message that tells me that my PC is going to reboot after a software upgrade, which there is none
  • still getting the message tell me to enter my credentials
  • When my Surface comes out of sleep mode I now have windows that have been opened, when I have closed all windows down

Slightly off-topic, but do you run Chrome and Canary on your machine? I've been on Waterfox and Canary for a while now, mostly don't have problems on Win10 with the former except for scarfing memory, but thinking I should maybe put FireFox and Chrome back down.

Just curious.

P.S. - If only there were decent extensions, add-ons for Internet Exploder.

No just one. Chrome has been a bit better than Canary in this build.
 
Unless MS has some major tricks up their sleeve, I don't think this thing will be ready to go live by summer. Chrome really is a mess.
 
Had to reinstall Windows 10, live icons and adobe reader stopped working, and now I'm getting this for my drive icon

What does it mean?
I'm having the EXACT same issue with the hard drive yellow exclamation mark. No matter how many times I clean install, it always appears.
I asked Gabel Aul and he was going to show the Bitlocker team. I thought I was the only person in the world with that problem.
It never appeared in any previous build either.
Right clicking the hard drive shows "Turn Bitlocker On" but it won't work because it displays a message saying it can't save my Recovery key anywhere. When I check Disk Management, it says my hard drive is already Bitlocker Encrypted.

I have looked so far into this issue, from diskpart, to Windows RE/winre.wim to the BCD files and no solution. I have even reinstalled Windows 8.1 from scratch and decrypted the drive using my recovery key from OneDrive.live.com/recoverykey and it still doesn't fix it in Windows 10 (clean install)

If you find a solution, please post it. I am hoping its just an icon bug with 10074, because like I said before, the drive is already encrypted in disk management and working fine, and no other previous build of Windows 10 has had this issue for me.
 
Im not sue if ive asked this :p

Anyone else having trouble that the surface wont turn on after sleep or maybe its STANBY, because it happens after a while off? And u have to holde the power button for like 30 sks han dturn it on after.

Even though the screen is black/ shut off it responds when pressing the windows touch button, it vibrates but nothing happens.
 
I have been using 10074 with my SP3 Pro at work and it has been fairly solid. I do have the wake-up issues periodically, but it is probably related to messing with the power profile and/or deep sleep settings, which I did to troubleshoot wifi issues at work with previous Win 8, 8.1, and 10 versions.

10074 seemed to have fixed my intermittent at wifi issues at work, and I am ready to put the Lenovo in the drawer forever. Also was finally able to use my MS Wireless Adaptor in the hotel room to watch movies...first time since 8.1. If only LastPass would get updated to work with Edge. I can confidently say that Edge is more stable then IE 11 at this point. IE 11 constantly crashes or won't load a web page on my machine. Edge has a couple of credential issues to be worked out, but it is a solid browser in the corporate environment. It opens so much quicker than Chrome.
 
Just did a fresh install, If I try to use cortana the window opens and then promptly close again, after which I can't get the start menu to open, until I have rebooted,

That's what happened to me, until all my apps were updated from the Store (Beta). Hang in there to see if it corrects.

I have similar issues, but only if I leave it in standby and the battery drains to the point where it decides to semi shut down. The only solution that corrects it is to do a, power button and volume button reset.
 
I don't know if this is by design to get us to try Spartan, but Chrome is completely fubared in this build.

I'm not having any Chrome problems with the latest build, and it's my primary browser. I'm glad to have Edge, but won't use it regularly until it gets plugins.
