Maybe we should all cry foul and ignorance
Maybe we can also get Microsoft to pay us $10,000.00
I'm sure there's more to this story than what's reported in this article.

I agree. I think she just wasn't paying attention and shouldn't have been given anything.

Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14385 for PC and Mobile


You should no longer see a notification pop-up once a day saying that your Windows evaluation copy expires on 7/15/2016.
I know this has caused a lot of you some angst so thank you for being patient.


We have improved battery life for Surface devices.
We fixed an issue resulting in Spotify sometimes crashing while playing music.
We fixed an issue resulting in the Google Chrome window being clipped on the top when maximized.
We fixed an issue with Mobile Hotspot that could result the host device bug-checking (bluescreen) and rebooting
if it was sharing on a 5GHz band and the connected device browsed to certain websites.


We fixed an issue where the pin prompt shown when connecting to certain VPNs would display behind the other open windows.
We fixed an issue resulting in LastPass and AdBlock extensions for Microsoft Edge not showing the expected context menu items
or status information in subsequently opened Edge windows. We also fixed an issue where the current tab in Edge might hang after exiting Web Notes.


Projecting to a PC auto-discoverability is off by default. To have your PC beacon so it can be discovered and you can project to it through the Connect
quick action from a Continuum enabled phone or another PC, go to Settings > System > Projecting to this PC and set “Windows PCs and phones
can project to this PC when you say it’s OK” to “Available everywhere” or “Available everywhere on secure networks”.
You can also set other settings on this page to your preference.

Windows 10 is a spyware OS

Windows 10 spies on its users by default for targeted advertising and selling your data to the highest bidder. Here is a video describing how to stop this from happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1kGMCfb2xw

If you take the time to read the 1268 posts (a few days worth of reading) before yours, I'm pretty certain you will already see this and many such tools or settings to change the default settings. Its pretty hard to mention something fir the first time in what is a very active forum

Interesting - Whilst it says this is for the Win10 Enterprise version, I don't believe they will like this model.

Who knows if in the future it filters down to Consumer users. If you don't want to pay that how the hell would you get rid of win10 as essentially you have no fall back to an OS that you actually paid for (without a whole lot of hassle.

So Excited for Anniversary update, been running Windows 10 Since July 29th 2015, First on my older HP System, and now my newer AMD FX 8310 8 Core, originally came with Windows 8.1, upgraded to 10 Home, (then clean installed),  then clean installed again, got Home again with that Clean install, but then reupgraded to Pro,  only problem is I can't use Remote Desktop with my Microsoft Account.   Microsoft answers forum stated to do a Reset install and it should fix.  Should I wait til After Anniversary update to fix this?  or fix it now before the update?
