Windows 10 Build 10240

Maybe it is because I am using an upgrade from Win8.1 but I found the default Start menu a bit frustrating. For one, not all of my installed programs show up in All Apps and, secondly, Cortana, which I presume is meant as a Search replacement rarely finds anything I type in, instead going straight to a Bing webpage!

I ended up using Stardock's Start8, which strangely still works on Win10 but have now switched to the beta version of Start10, which allows me to toggle between both the default and Stardock menu by pressing the Windows key. All my pinned Start programs and All Programs shortcuts are accessible from there, as well as Run and Search. I also have access to Admin Services and the Control Panel as a menu, which I find very convenient.

The Win10 Start menu is a big improvement for sure but it still is not quite perfect for my needs.

 

I don't see the point of the Win 10 start menu at all

They might as well have left the Win 8 start screen

If you're gonna have a menu, make it functional - any old shortcut can launch a program or a folder, lol even a shortcut has right click context menus worth a damn

The XAML menu thinks pin, unpin are worthy of right click

 

Yea exactly lol

Enough people made their voices heard to bring back the menu, MS trolled us big time with this thing

 

Agreed, the lack of right mouse context menu options such as Rename or even the ability to move things makes the Win10 Start menu very restrictive but then I could say the same about the bizarre apps which have simplified options and features compared with the proper desktop programs. At least I never have to look at the Start screen ever again so that is a big improvement over Win8/8.1.

 

Im just pleased SiB works (Or any other 3rd party useful menu)

But the rest of the XAML porting is pushing me back to 8.1

Win32 is Windows for Desktops
XAML is pointless and useless, the only pro I see with it, is it's BIG, for touch

But my mouse cursor is small...

 

New KB just pushed...NEW build string too

Security Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3074667)

new build string:

10240.16393.amd64fre.th1_st1.150717-1719

 

Nice thanks, 263MB too

Please fix Everything lol

 

Dream much. :bang:

 

You have to have a dream when you run Windows

 

Naw I just drink lots of vodka and beer and smoke...so I never worry over it haha...though that certainly explains stupid unbootable f'ups :stewpid:

 

haha...

well I am disabled so no longer work, I live a lot through my PC...too much time on my hand but not enough money now. Occasionally go out to the beach..yes I am lucky I live less then a block from it in Panama City Beach.

 

Any working link for an en-US iso?

 

grab the img file download and rename to iso your good to go.

 

Yup, from what I've read, the .IMG is the same as the others

 

I see, thank you. Why is it under OEM though, what does it mean?

 

It was the image sent to OEMs

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturers

So, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, ASUS etc etc

For pre-load on their Win 10 machines

 

Ahh got it, thanks again.
