It was part of a previous Anti-Trust ruling against them and prohibits MS from doing anything to prevent competition.
Spartan is not in it. Only some of it's improvements have been baked into IE. Actually I don't see any differences.
So, I did a few things, went in program files and deleted the WinApps folder, by taking ownership of it. It led to this because of a bug, apparently steam after install lost its rights to access the program files(x86) folder :O I just took ownership of critical files myself, and removed WinDefender,WinStore,WinApps. I feel cleaner now. Also in this build renaming dwm.exe doesn't disable desktop composition, in the build 9926 I tried, it did disable it. Probably could be a separate topic but regardless I want it gone!

"Project Spartan" works without any hacks from the apps list in the start menu with this build Just checked 10014 builds IE version and it says the same from the about tab, yet hovering over the IE exe, it says 10014
Cool. I saw this for the first time Now we need this browser, some proper driver support and stable HDD management in new build
Any reason to try this if we only plan to use chrome anyway? plus it appears if sticking with the non leaked builds they can do upgrades with very impressive results. After running disk clean on my ancient laptop it appeared to be 100% problem free and no wasted space either...in other words just as good as my clean install on my main desktop....to be honest i was surprised how far things have come from "it has to be clean install or it will have problems days"
If you're not interested in Spartan (Which was not mind blowing to me) then no, Ive read people saying that this 10014 is extremely similar in features and stability as 9926 Personally if you are dead set in testing these builds, I'd stick to the official channel If you want to check out Spartan etc, then try it in a virtual machine
Its probably in the WindowsApps folder in Program Files. Not sure if reg keys are needed to run the .exe but yes it should be possible
If it is going to replace IE there are explorer extension files you need to carry over from the Windows directory, I will work on a list of these files. There is only like 6 of them, but you need to take ownership of them to replace them.
Maybe I'll get lucky and this will install for me.... I decided to just keep running dual systems, 1 for Linux and 1 for Windows and just dual boot Win8.1/Win10 but when I tried to install Win10, I just got errors.
Strange, did you install 10 before 8.1? Maybe something has changed with the install process, I know the screen is different, and although you can normally install EasyBCD to add a newer OS to the bootloader, maybe you need to install the newer OS first in this case? Not been back into 10 for a few days
I tried to install build 9879 and got an error after the partition stage. Same with 9926. I figured I got the error due to a time stamp issue. Ya know, how some builds have time restrictions? I figured that might be the case, so I've been looking for the current build to try. Since you posted a link to it, I'll download and try again tonight when I get home. Worst case, I'll just upgrade my Win8 install.....after I make a drive image anyway.
Yea the timebomb, I don't think (just guessing) that it knows the date during the partitioning stage of the install, only when it actually gets into Windows itself Might be worth partitoning the drive in 8.1 first, then just choosing that partition when you get to the HDD choice screen, so you don't need to do any actual partitioning EDIT - Just remembered trying to install old Longhorn builds, and had to set the date back in the BIOS first or it would also fail, so yea you could be right on the timebomb thing
i had 1 freeze due to amd driver stopped responding but since the updates your asking about i have not had any more....so nock on wood hopefully it continues to be stable
