Google as default search engine option in Edge is available.

Makes me happy. I like Bing and DuckDuckGo too, but Google is the Linus comfort blanket.

Type something in the Cortana search and get Bing results in a fresh tab, then type it again in the address bar and get Google results...best of both worlds; quickly!

Sounds like something is screwy then.
I found this and could try at your own risk

Thanks @cliffr39, this looks like it would fix the problem.

But, truth is, I never got OneDrive to work (set it to be the OneDrive folder on my Win8 partition and it's never worked. I know logging on with a local account and deleting it then re-pointing it to that folder when I log on with my MS account should fix it but I never tried that) and more recently I installed Office 16 and after last 2 build upgrade they wouldn't work and uninstall doesn't worked so I can't re-install or go back to Office 13.

So I'm done trouble shooting. As much as I'd like to try 10240, but I can wait 9 days now, upgrade my Win 8.1 partition to Win10 and then reformat my 50GB Win10TP partition. Thanks.
 
... do you think we will receive small updates every day (like every tuesday on W8.1) or each time it will be a huge build (couple of Go) to download and to install ? ...

Updates and patches should be frequent, but not disturbing your work. The Preview Builds were large because each was all inclusive, and not necessarily integrated with all of the fixes, features, and functionality, which all merges now to the RTM.
 
The biggest difference between the previous builds and the current one is that every prior build was essentially and upgrade and a full installation. Going forward they will likely be far smaller and less complex.
 
/gonna set it to do a refresh on both machines before I go to the shops, but so far, seems that while it's seemingly faster at this and that than 10166, mine is still full of problems. crashing drivers, locking up, Bluetooth failing and requiring a restart, poor support for lower resolution displays (for me at least)
 
Just had my first issue. I woke the SP3 and it shows WiFi as "Not Available". Turning on/off Airplane mode or toggling WiFi did not fix it. Only a reboot did. Haven't had this issue in a few builds now.

I had a similar bug, WiFi connected to networks but said Limited. Restart was required

I experienced this a couple of times yesterday, but while on 10166. SP3 was sat there happy as larry, S3 suddenly quit. Both connected to same plug.
