My win/start button does not work at all and the search bar also did not work. Since it's my principally gaming pc and I'm using the build to check what games work and what not I made it the main OS.

Any known fix ? Some guy suggested that only a clean reinstall can fix it.

I know but I'm listing which games work and which not and since there's nothing else really important I do with the pc then why not.

One thing for sure until now I can't run Shogun 2, Rome Total War (haven't tested Medieval 2 though), Mount and Blade Warband and X-COM doesn't work for me. Luckily Skyrim, Rome II and Attila works fine.

I think my build is 10049 iirc. It works fine before but then yesterday when my kid was watching youtube my wife told me that suddenly the monitor went blank with 'no signal' or something and I thought maybe my GPU fried again.

However when I got home and replugged everything everything works fine, except that windows start button. Cause me a bit of a problem though since I'm just the one who don't like having icons on desktop.

Just made a clean reinstallation of 10074 (format drive, install win 7 and upgrade to win 10074). Found of the the desktop experience is much smoother than previous version (maybe formatting the hd did the trick too ?). Shogun 2 and M&B warband now working though Shogun 2 got 'windows has stopped working' error upon quitting the game. Not sure if recurrent as haven't tested the second time.

In any case, it takes quite a while to load and a lot more longer than even win 7. I did not time them but I think it's 3 times longer than my usual windows 7 loading. Hope it will not be the same when the retail version comes out later. I did uninstall some programs that I don't need and I do hope when the real thing came out I will have the option only to install what I need (don't bloody need windows 10 to tell me what's the weather is like outside, really).

In any case, my early verdict is that I may done good to myself sticking to win7 and waiting for win 10 rather than upgrade to win 8 when it came out earlier.

I will do a game benchmark later though I'm not sure if the OS have any actual effect since my last benchmark since the game has been patched and new gfx driver released too since I made my last benchmarks.

Yeah. for serious usage currently then better to stick with win 7 or win 8. Me on the other hand since there nothing important on the pc anyway (besides my games which I only play on weekends) there's no issue with trying them.

At least I got to do my part in helping which games work and which don't.

Any idea whether we got to try dx12 before the real thing comes out ?

One thing though, since I already been using(free) avira I found out that I cannot run windows defender at the same time using windows 10, unlike windows 7 where I can run both at the same time. Is it something new with the new OS where no 2 AV can be run at the same time ?

Had that on previous version. That bug supposed to be fixed with update KB3035129.

Me. Any known fix ? If not I will do a clean reinstall.

Anyone tested the leaked 10125 ?

I guess I will try to reinstall a clean 10122 if I can manage to get me an ssd this week.

I think, even with a clean new install (without formatting) it will copy first your existing installation data etc. That was what happened when I did a new installation for 10074 from the previous version.

Finally the auto patch to 10122 happened last night. It's still buggy a bit for me (the start menu) but I've heard that's because AMD driver issue ?

I'm getting pop up box error when shutting down the pc. Forgot to note down what it says but just clicking the ok box the pc can shut down properly. It's something about a program can't be closed or something.

Anyone having similar thing ?

Yeah but yesterday morning I didn't see that and only aware when I came back at evening so the whole day my pc hang like that.

Nope. Mine hang until I manually click that close/ok button.

I will check if this recurring. If it's debugging I don't think it will be for that long.

It hangs for me. Need to click the close button. Yeah. It's about memory and also the system can't close some explorer.exe or something. Forgot to take the screenshot since I was a bit of a hurry this morning.

Yup. Hopefully we'll get to see the RTM version soon. Any ideas when ?

Any new updates last night or something ? That memory error is gone when I shut down the pc this morning.

Rome Total War still not working though but when I check the error it says no directx9 found.

10145, is that official ? My version is still 10130.

Depends on games you play but basically what works with win7 and win8 will work with win10

Some of my games works better than my win7.

I'm using the free avira but now since 10162 I always get this 'you have no AV activated' or something. Anyone have this ? When I try to activate windows defender it always says that I have an AV already running.

When I check the task manager I find my Avira is already running but the icon did not come out in the taskbar anymore.

I'm still using 4GB for my desktop. I do not have photoshop though (which needs a lot of memories I believe) but the rest I think you can survive with 4GB except you do a lot of multitakings as the same time.
