Hi everyone from the Build 2015 conference happening right now in San Francisco! If you haven’t already, check out Terry’s blog post about all the Windows 10 announcements we made today. If you’re at Build this week or at Ignite in Chicago next week – keep your eye out for me and say hello!
Today we have a new build available to both the Fast and Slow ring for Windows Insiders (that means we’ll have ISOs available too for those of you who like a clean install.) With this build we continue to evolve the features and design for Windows 10, and you’ll see a lot of subtle changes and improvements, many of which were influenced directly by Windows Insiders. One of those changes is the reintroduction of some Aero Glass elements in the UI, but there are many more things throughout the product as well. We continue to use your feedback directly day to day in how our feature teams operate, and we hope that Windows 10 will be the best version of Windows yet because you had a direct hand in its creation.
One other subtle change that you’ll notice is that we’ve changed how we talk about the builds from “Technical Preview” to “Insider Preview” to reflect the importance of the Windows Insider community in how we’re building Windows 10.
And speaking of Windows Insiders, we were super excited to host the 10 winners of our Windows Insiders to Campus contest in Redmond last week and hear their thoughts on the program and the product. We’ll share more on that soon.
Here is what’s newSome of the things that Joe demoed on stage earlier today during the Build keynote are not yet included in this build and will be in future builds. But we still have a bunch of new stuff for you to check out!
General UX improvements: We made a bunch of UX improvements with the last build and you’ll see even more in this build. For example, you’ll notice a new Live Tile animation for Start in addition to in addition to some performance and stability improvements for Live Tiles.
We’ve done work to better support high DPI displays. And we know many Windows Insiders are running multi-mon setups – often with 2 monitors with different DPI. You will start to see some work we’re doing to make sure core UX components in Windows scale correctly on both your monitors so things look nice regardless of DPI.
We’ve also heard loud in clear that many Windows Insiders want to see Aero Glass from Windows 7 make a comeback. We’ve been working out how to satisfy this request, and are trying some things out with this build to see how you like them. We’re running a little A/B test with this build. 50% of you will normal transparency on the Start menu and taskbar while the other 50% will see a blur effect on the Start menu and taskbar (like frosted glass). If Windows Insiders really like the blur effect, we will add it to more areas and even consider making it the default instead of standard transparency. Which one did you get? Send us feedback about it via the Windows Feedback app!
Even more improvements to Continuum: We’re continuing to make Continuum better and invest in a simplified taskbar. Additionally when you close an application in Tablet mode, we take you back to the Start screen instead of the desktop as you would expect when using a tablet. You will see general polish on snapping, and the shared divider between two snapped windows now let’s you adjust the size.
Multi-tasking improvements: We’re continuing to refine and complete our mulit-tasking experience with Windows 10. Check out Alt-Tab, Task-View, and Snap Assist. Snap Assist also now supports the ability to close a window during Snap Assist.
New default Windows sounds: We’ve heard a lot of feedback from people that they want some fresh system sounds for Windows 10. Check them out and let us know what you think.
Visual refresh for Cortana: You will see a visual refresh for Cortana in this build that makes the experience feel more ingrained into the overall Windows experience. Start and Cortana are now more tightly integrated. As you start to search for an app from within Start, Cortana can seamlessly take over and bring back the right result. The new Windows split view control has been added to Cortana’s left rail, offering quick access to key Cortana functionality like the Notebook, Reminders or Feedback on how Cortana’s doing. This split view control helps anchor Cortana to the rest of the Windows UI and provides navigation consistent with many other Windows first party applications.
New experiences in Cortana: We are making available some new and updated experiences in Cortana powered by Bing Instant Answers. Cortana will aim to answer your question while you’re still typing. Here are a few questions you can try:
Weather – “Seattle Weather”
Finance – “MSFT stock”
Dictionary – “define astounding”
Calculator – “48*92”
Flight Status – “UA 238”
Reference – “how tall is brad pitt”
Showtimes – “movies near me”
Tech Help – “memory in my computer”
Time Zone – “time in London”
Unit Conversion – “42 ft in meters”
Chit Chat – “tell me a joke”
Updates for the Music and Video Preview apps: We’ve also shipped updates to these apps. The Music Preview app (3.6.999.0) has some UX improvements including a more immersive Now Playing experience with a true full screen mode. With the Video Preview app (3.6.999.0) – you can download movies, TV shows, and TV seasons and check progress, pause, resume, cancel the download. You can also download, delete, and even re-download videos as many times as you want on up to three devices (we’re planning to increase the number of devices you can download content too!). Closed captioning for purchased content now appears. You will see a list of new features when you first launch these app after each update!
Xbox app April 2015 update: The Xbox app for Windows 10 has been updated (your version number should be 4.4.9014.0 or higher) with new features like Game DVR for PC games, screenshots, a Live Tile, user profiles, and real-name sharing. Oh and the drivers for Xbox controllers are now included with Windows 10, so you no longer have to download and install controller drivers on Windows 10. For more on this month’s Xbox app for Windows 10 update as well as the new Avatars app – read this blog post.
Windows Store Beta improvements: We’re excited about delivering a single unified Store experience in Windows 10 which we’re talking more about this week at Build. We’ve made some improvements to the Store Beta which is now a blue tile instead of grey. Xbox Live games should be working and so are in-app purchases. Apps you purchased on a PC running Windows 8.1 will now show up in the Store Beta on Windows 10 as owned (and vice-versa). We’re also expanding the Store Beta from 41 markets with the addition of these new markets: Afghanistan, Åland Islands, Albania, Algeria, American Samoa, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antarctica, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Aruba, Azerbaijan, The Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bahrain, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bonaire, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Bouvet Island, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, Iceland, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Malta, Pakistan, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Jordan, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Oman, Panama, Puerto Rico, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Venezuela.
Discovering features and apps in Windows 10: We are investing in easy “bite-sized” learning and discovery experiences so that users can get more out of Windows 10. This ranges from tips and tricks on the Lock screen, to helping users discover high quality apps through Start, the Lock screen and Cortana. Be confident that you won’t miss out on new features and enjoy the ease of having high quality apps curated for you. It’s optional, and if anything doesn’t strike your fancy, you can provide feedback directly, such as whether you like an image or an app. These new experiences will be rolling out over time, so you may not see them in your market yet.
Here are some things we fixed
You can now launch Win32 (desktop) apps from the Start menu again. Sorry about this bug!
You should be able to download music in the Xbox Music and Music Preview apps.
When you minimize an app playing audio, it should continue playing in the background.
Here are some known issues
Developers cannot enable Developer Mode in the Settings app for installing and testing apps on this build. We’ll enable this in an upcoming build. In the meantime, you will need enable your device for development using the Group Policy Editor.
There is an issue in this build preventing some games from playing in full screen mode. We’re working to get a fix out via WU as soon as possible.
The People app continues to crash. We’re planning to release an update for the People app through the Store Beta that fixes this.
We hope you’ll agree that 10074 has some nice improvements and is another step forward towards delivering a great Windows 10 release. Please put it through the paces and keep sending us feedback on the things that you like and the things you want us to keep working on using the Windows Feedback app. I hope that you’ll also download the development tools released at Build and will build some terrific Universal Windows apps as well!
Thanks,

  • Problem with System Metrics SM_CXSIZEFRAME + SM_CXPADDEDBORDER in Windows 10 Preview (Build 10041)

    Maybe this forum is the wrong place to ask something about Windows 10 Preview, but I did not find a dedicated place to report
    programming problems as opposed to user problems:
    I program/maintain a 32-bit desktop (WIN32 API) application and try it now on Windows 10 Preview build 10041. I calculate the size of a window border with the help of the GetSystemMetrics function, using the constants SM_CXSIZEFRAME and SM_CXPADDEDBORDER.
    Originally, I only used SM_CXSIZEFRAME. This returned 4 pixels instead of the expected 8 pixels that I got on all previous windows versions up to Windows 8.1. Then I learned that already since Windows Vista one is expected to add the value of SM_CXPADDEDBORDER
    to get the full border size. (SM_CXSIZEFRAME alone only continued to work on Vista and beyond thanks to a little compatibility hack by Microsoft, with SM_CXSIZEFRAME still returning the full border size and SM_CXPADDEDBORDER returning
    yet 0, at least for 32-bit programs like mine.)
    Assuming that Microsoft finally switched off that compatibility measure on Windows 10 I query and add SM_CXPADDEDBORDER now as well. Unfortunately this does not solve my problem, as that system metric returns 0.
    Just to be on the sure side, I declared my program to support Windows 10 by using an embedded manifest and using the corresponding <compatibility> / <supportedOS> line with the Windows 10 GUID - this did not help either.
    As querying and adding those two system metric values is rather trivial (no need to include code in this question, I think), I don't have the slightest idea what
    I could do wrong here, this looks like Preview bug affecting 32-bit programs to me...

    I regret to inform you, that you have to live with this error for ever. Microsoft won't fix it... we reported an error of the Windows Error Reporting system (exists since Windows 8) and provided a reproduction (an application with one printed page of code,
    so very small and easy). It has never been fixed. 3 developers at Microsoft are involved and they confirmed, that it's a bug ... but... no chance. It's a strange company... I don't know what they mean with "we listen to our customers".
    PS: ja, nöd grad hilfriich mini Kommentär, aber die Type triibed eim eifach in Wahnsinn!! ... schinbar nöd nur öschtlich vo Bade, sondern au weschtlich

  • Move New Windows Inside Recording Area & More

    Hi All
    I have a few questions for all those kind people who
    contribute their time and experience here.
    I am exploring Captivate and have trouble with my new windows
    or dialogs jumping outside the recording area. I am creating movies
    using 'Custom Size and when I open new dialogs, they are opening up
    outside of the recorded area. I have the 'New Windows Inside
    Recording Area ' recording option checked, but it still happens. Is
    there something I am missing, another setting perhaps or a
    combination of things I am doing or not doing to prevent this?
    Another problem I am having occurs when I am recording a CAD
    application. When I open new dialogs and then close them, I get
    this display problem that shows where the dialog just appeared. The
    problem is that my application is blank where the dialog box was -
    I cannot see any of the icons of commands. It only ever happens
    when I am recording, not when I am generally using the program. Is
    this a known phenomenon, maybe a video card acceleration or OpenGL
    issue perhaps?
    Thanks in advance - I look forward to hearing from anyone who
    can help me solve these issues.
    Cheers,
    spritc.

    Hi there "spritc.",
    To your first problem, that of those pesky windows opening
    outside the selected recording area, if you use "Application"
    instead of "Custom", I think you'll find you have better luck.
    To your second problem, yes, I think you figured it out, you
    have a problem with video. Try disabling hardware acceleration and
    see if that won't help with the "shadow of where it was" issue.
    That option is in "Control Panel > Display > Settings (tab)
    > Advanced" on most systems.
    Now, a lesson in Captivate (or you can call it a "rant" by an
    old-timer if you wish).
    Many new users have been so "sold" on Captivate's "automatic"
    features that they have forgotten what its real purpose is, and
    that sometimes there is more than one way to accomplish it. It was
    created to fill a need to capture background changes in
    applications, then add objects to those changed backgrounds to
    accomplish the true goal of electronic learning through
    demonstration and/or simulation. Notice that nowhere in that
    statement did I use the word "fast", nor "automatic", nor
    "effortless", nor did I add "without the effort of thought".
    "spritc.", this is not directed at you nor meant to demean
    you in any way. The statement above is a result of my own
    frustration with a lack of reality in advertising and promotion of
    the product - not just Captivate but all products. With that said,
    here is how you do what you want to do:
    About Windows: Be aware that all "Windows" applications
    share some helpful features. One is that when an application is
    opened, it should open in a window of the same dimensions, and at
    the same position as the position and dimensions it occupied when
    it was last closed. That includes - or is supposed to - additional
    supporting pop-ups and dialog boxes (windows) for the application.
    Another feature of Windows applications is that if the main
    application window is placed too closely to - say - the right edge
    of the screen (or the bottom, or the top) and is too close for an
    attached drop-list to appear to the right, it will automatically
    appear instead - on the left, or above its normal position. In
    other words, Windows compensates for bad positioning by adjusting
    its location of appearance on the screen. So much for issues
    created by and corrected by the Windows OS.
    About Captivate: When in "Record" mode, Captivate does take
    a snapshot each time it detects a change in the background (caused
    by what we call an "event"), thus automatically creating a series
    of snapshots that we know as a demonstration or simulation, as the
    case may be. But there is a key on the keyboard that is much
    ignored, but of greatest value - it is named the "PrtScr" key, and
    (by default - it can be changed to another key) pressing it will
    cause Captivate to "snap" a background image, in addition to those
    snapped automatically by the detection of an "event". Captivate
    also gives you a feature that is nearly unknown among new users ...
    it is called the "other option". That is (to give you a simple
    example), while the Recording Options dialog gives you the
    (default) action of automatically recording keystrokes, the act of
    un-ticking this box gives you the
    other option of
    not automatically recording keystrokes. There are many
    "automatic" functions that are the default selections during the
    recording of a Captivate movie, and each gives you the option of
    turning it off.
    Now, let's put these two groups of knowledge together. Before
    recording, know what you are going to "click" to create a
    background change image. Then do a "walkthrough" without Captivate
    running. Each dialog box that pops up should be adjusted for size
    and position during this walkthrough so that when Captivate's
    actual image-recording begins, each dialog will appear where you
    want it. Also, each menu item that opens outside the recording area
    should be tested to see where it will appear; if the "File" menu
    item you want is falling off the bottom of the recording area, try
    positioning the main application window lower on-screen . . . this
    should force the "File" menu items to appear to "drop up", instead
    of "dropping down", allowing the wanted item to appear properly
    within the recording area. Finally (for this excerpt), you should
    always have one eye on that "PrtScr" key mentioned above. There may
    be times when using that magic key to force the capture of a
    background, is the only way to grab an image of a "missed event" -
    for instance, the appearance of a tooltip.
    In conclusion, don't blindly buy what the advertising people
    are selling. Be prepared to use your imagination and even some
    preparation work in making your movies. There are very few things
    that Captivate can't do in its line of work, but somethimes you
    have to do the "thinking" for it.
    Have a really great day!!

  • Windows SteadyState 2.5 Is Now Available!

    Windows SteadyState 2.5 Is Now Available!
    We are pleased to announce the release of Windows SteadyState 2.5, available in 9 languages from the Microsoft Shared Access Site:  
    http://www.microsoft.com/sharedaccess
    Providing solutions to help manage shared computers has been a consistent request from partners, end users around the world.  Microsoft has a very compelling solution with SteadyState enabling our shared access partners to protect shared access computers by cleaning the system with every restart, making them easier to manage and protect. It also restricts users from accessing system settings and data, preventing inadvertent or malicious damage, and thus, improving the up time of these PCs.
    Besides offering excellent desktop security, SteadyState is user-friendly and reliable, it reduces downtime, is easy to maintain, and is free of charge to genuine Windows XP and Windows Vista customers.
    SteadyState is a great solution for schools, libraries, families, internet cafés, telecenters, rural kiosks, and community centers, providing better computer access to underserved markets where non-technical managers are often responsible for shared computers.
    New features in SteadyState version 2.5 include the following:
    •       Full support for Windows Vista
    •       Full support for Internet Explorer 7 and tabbed browsing
    •       Overall improved performance
    •       Faster booting
    •       Faster system caching
    •       Remote management of Windows Disk Protection through scripting
    •       Improved importing & exporting  of user information
    To learn more, or download SteadyState 2.5 go to:
     http://www.microsoft.com/sharedaccess

    I have a major gripe about the instructions for SteadyState.  I have gone over the handbook and each and every time I read it, I come back with more questions than answers.  Very frustrating.  I have two major issues I would like to resolve. 
    The first is that when I imaged drive when SteadyState was installed, I could not open my Sophos anti-virus any longer with the admin account.  I kept getting message saying I was not part of Sophos Administrator group, which I was.  I even removed
    and re-added my user to the group, and it did nothing.  Uninstalling did not let me in either.  What a nightmare!  What good is it to install something if I cannot do something as simple as opening an installed program to check settings or quarantine? 
    Second major issue is the whole ambiguosly confusing explanation of User accounts in the handbook.  What a crock!  If I set up the computer, add the users and setup each profile before installing SteadyState, then install SteadyState, there should
    be no User restrictions except what I say after the install.  For instance, I only tell SteadyState to not allow users to save to C:\ drive.  That should mean any user, non-admin, should not be able to save to the drive.  Period.  When
    reading the handbook, it goes on and on about shared users, shared accounts, blah blah blah.  Do I have to go into SteadyState and change User accounts no matter what?  If so, that seems like a real nightmare to setup over and over.  Does that
    mean with that simple protection setting of no saving to drive, I need to also go and create User accounts in SteadyState as well so I can do something as simple as having the desktop wallpaper from the original setup show up for the user?  Will
    the screen saver settings stay the same, or do I have to go into SteadyState and change that as well in User settings?  Which, of course, will create a whole new profile for the user, which is NOT what everyone really wants.  Can't we just install
    SteadyState and say no saving to drive and leave the disk protection, etc. off and be done with it?  It sure does not seem like it.  Maybe we are just idiots here, but it is no help whatsoever for me to read this handbook again.  Since one cannot
    talk to someone for free, not sure what else to do.  We used this software before for 66 computers in one of our labs, and after installation, we wanted to simplify the setup as much as possible due to continual issues with users not being able to do
    this and that even though they were supposed to have "permission" to do so.  No internet on these machines, just wanted to prevent users from saving to drive to prevent drive filling up and to allow the drivers we installed on admin account to work when
    non-admin user plugged in USB equipment into port.

  • Windows Insider Preview Start Menu Not Working: Build 10061

    I've been using the Desktop tech preview for some time now. It seemed that with each build, the apps would bleed outside the window frame without scrollbars, ergo, making the apps not useable(except for browser). Then, starting with 10041 the start menu
    wouldn't work. There is no way for me to open it except through the notifications button. Now with build 10061, none of the buttons work. Only firefox, which I have added to my taskbar. Although, edge nor IE will open either. So ATM, only the task manager,
    firefox, folder button, and the volume control button seem to open/work. I have tried restarting and switching profiles, bu nothing seems to work.
    I want to get away from win10. Before, on start up it would ask me if I wanted to revert back to win8. Now it doesn't ask anymore. How do I get back to win8?

    To go back to Win8, you need a recovery media or an installation media for Win8.
    Did you make one of those before you installed Win 10 TP over Win 8 ?
    May I interest you to give Win 10 TP another go ?
    ON the 29th, a new build has been released. It's build 10074.
    You can install it via Windows Update or downloading the ISO which is also released at the same date.
    My suggestion is to download the ISO > burn it to a bootable DVD or an USB with at least 4 GB > use the bootable media to do a Clean Install.
    I suggest a clean install to make sure your new install will not "inherit" any "baggage".
    In short, you will start fresh.
    Here is the download link for Pro (non-Enterprise) ISO;
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso-update-1504
    Notice that it has a new product key :6P99N-YF42M-TPGBG-9VMJP-YKHCF
    You shouldn't need it. But, just in case it asks for it.

    Hi,
    I had this same issue and tried many things to fix it. I finally found a fix with a small registry edit.
    Open command prompt under admin and follow these steps (which I found here: 
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_tp-winipp/error-code-0x80246017-when-trying-to-download-new/b188df4f-8e7a-443a-b584-61c4d59407d8)
    reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "BranchName" /d "fbl_release" /t REG_SZ
    /f
    reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdRiskLevel" /d "low" /t REG_SZ /f
    reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdInternal" /f
    reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdOptedIn" /f
    After you have done that open regedit and navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
    If there is a folder called "recovered from" delete it. Then open up Windows Update in PC settings and go to preview builds and click Check Now
    This worked for me. Hopes it works for you to.

  • Sneak Preview NetWeaver 04 now available!! -  now REALLY available

    I'm pleased to announce that the new Sneak Preview NetWeaver 04 is now available to download on SDN! The sneak preview will be available in four different editions. The first two editions focusing on Java development tools are available now. They are called, conveniently enough, "Java Edition" and "Slim Edition" (slim, as in smaller package with less memory consumption and a few less features).
    Java version is back online, sorry for the inconvenience! **
    Two more editions will be added to the Sneak Preview in the coming weeks, also conveniently named "ABAP Edition" for the ABAP development environment and the big "Full Edition" with additional SAP NetWeaver components to evaluate.
    So, need I say more? Why not check out the Sneak Preview yourself and try your hand at developing applications with SAP NetWeaver. Read these details before you decide which one you'd like to try (make sure you're logged in!):
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/downloads/evaluation software/sneak preview netweaver 04.htm
    While you're doing all this, let us know what you think! Join a discussion in this forum or start your own discussions, post questions, help others with their questions if you can. Your feedback on this sneak preview will help improve the quality of the final product!
    Thanks for reading - now go download!

    Message was edited by: Kathleen Meyers re: availability of Java edition and added link to download page

    Could be one of a few things.
    1. We had to take the "Java" edition offline temporarily. It should be back up later today. IF you tried to access it, this might be why you cannot download.
    2. If you are having a general problem accessing our FTP server for downloads, perhaps you can check whether your (company) firewall allows FTP access. If it does not, perhaps you can see whether you can change your firewall to allow for the SAP.com domain. See: Can't download, Company firewall accept NO FTP access
    3. Also, during times of high traffic, it may be difficult to download the larger files we offer as the FTP server has a limit to number of parallel sesions. You might try to download during a different time of day.
    If none of these apply, please explain in more detail why you cannot download.
    Thanks,
    Kathy Meyers, SDN

  • Windows 10 preview build 10049 BIG PROBLEM

    hello,
    i got a very big problem after updating to build 10049. after the installation was complete my laptop restarted and i got a black screen with in the botom right corner the build number 10049. after a couple of hours the laptop restarts itself but it keeps
    getting on this black screen.
    i tried a iso of windows 10 preview latest iso build on a usb stick but with every solution i try: format, repair it keeps getting the same error that there is a problem with unmountable bootdevice.
    even using my official windows 8 dvd gets the same problem
    i'm lost. i dont know how to solve this problem.
    can someone please help me with this?

    This is not a one off, it is repeatable on brand new disks.
    I previously had the original win10 preview build installed on this hard drive = no problems.
    I then did a fresh install of build 9879 from CD. Install completed untill it got to the reboot phase = it would not reboot - the hard drive was not recognized in the bios anymore.
    tested broken hard drive in another computer = works
    tested broken hard drive in 2nd connector on my laptop = fail (still not seen by bios).
    tested a few other sata disks I have laying around on both connectors of my laptop = pass.
    upgrade my bios as there is one version higher than I had. = fail (still not seen by bios).
    boot from broken hard drive on another computer and finish the OOB portion of the win 10 preview install = pass
    So it seems clear that the hard drive is still working, but just not recognized on the original computer. It is only 2 months old so I get it replaced under warranty. Replacement disk is recognized by bios, yeah! I then restore image of broken hard drive
    to this replacement. Disk is still recognized by bios. I boot up from this disk on my laptop. It works OK until first reboot, then is not recognized by bios anymore.
    Computer = Toshiba Satelite P305 PSPC8U-01400Q
    Hard disk = WD blue 1TB  model: WD10JPVX-22JC3T0
    Note: also with windows 8 running on this computer and the broken hard drive installed in second connector, windows also does not see it, neither through disk manager nor through diskpart command line. But if I boot up in Linux from a bootable USB flash
    drive, then I can see the (broken disk) on this same computer. Yes I can see it and I can read and write to the filesystem, even though it is still not seen by the bios.

  • How to set the default location of a new window in Preview?

    Opening a new document in Preview always results in a new window that is located at the upper left of the screen.
    I'd like to have all of my Preview documents open in a second monitor, but this doesn't appear possible. Does anyone have any insight to offer?
    Thanks.

    HI,
    Open Preview/Preferences and select the General tab.
    You can make a selection there but unfortunately I don't think Preview supports a connected monitor.
    But don't give up hope. Go here and post in the Apple Technologies forum. Perhaps a Terminal guru can offer a command to use to do this for you.

  • Problem installing Windows Technical Preview build 9926

    I am not able to install the Technical Preview on my computer. Everything looks fine and in the end it says "applying computer settings" and counts the percents before it reboots again.
    During the boot it says evaluation build 9926. Then it says Restoring the old windows as it was before... I can't get this to work.
    This is the windowsupdate.log file and the last attempt of installing at the end of the file. 21st of march.

    Do you know that you can make an ISO to install 10041 and not have to install 9926?
