Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17004 for PC

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of office 2016 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

Today we are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17004 for PC to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring who have opted in to Skip Ahead only. Insiders who joined Skip Ahead will continue to receive builds from the RS_PRERELEASE branch which has transitioned to RS4 which is the release that will come after the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (RS3). Because we are just beginning development for RS4, Insiders shouldn’t expect to see a lot of big changes or new features just yet. Our focus remains getting the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update ready for release!

Insiders will notice that the build numbers have jumped ahead again but this time to 17xxx. This is what we do normally at the beginning of development of a new feature update for Windows 10.

Also – you may notice that the Windows Insider Preview branding has disappeared from the build (shown via the desktop watermark at the lower right hand corner). This should be back with the next build.

What’s new in Build 17004

Fluent Design: As we progress into the next feature update, you’ll begin to see more and more elements of Fluent Design light up. We love the enthusiasm we’ve seen for Fluent Design, and with today’s build you’ll notice that Reveal is now visible on Start in All apps.

Microsoft Edge Improvements:

• We fixed an issue where typing a web address into the address bar from the New Tab and Start Page and would sometimes clear the text and not result in any page navigation
• We fixed an issue resulting in keyboard layout changes potentially not being applied when using Microsoft Edge after setting focus to the address bar.
• We fixed an issue where the tab previews for PDFs were black with a white bar on each side.
• We fixed an issue where the first time you pressed Ctrl + F to open Search, the search box doesn’t get focus. We also fixed an issue where you might be unable to type in the address bar after clicking on CTRL+F text field.
• We fixed an issue where “Open with previous pages” wouldn’t recover tabs after dragging a tab between two Microsoft Edge windows.
• We fixed an issue resulting copy/paste and the print dialog not working for those using the updated Youtube.com website design.
• We fixed an issue where Ctrl + Click on a link in a PDF wouldn’t open the link in a new tab.
• We fixed an issue resulting in PDFs potentially rendering blank after panning down a few pages and back up.
• We fixed an issue from recent flights where Alt + D wouldn’t bring input focus to the address bar when certain keyboards were active.

Input Improvements:

• We fixed an issue resulting in the enter key not working properly in Facebook Messenger.
• We fixed an issue resulting in the Delete key on the full touch keyboard layout unexpectedly inserting a period in UWP apps.
• We fixed an issue resulting in a stutter when selecting long strings in certain single line editable text boxes (for example when naming favorites in Microsoft Edge).

General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC

• RS4 builds include many of the same fixes included in the latest RS3 builds.
• We are introducing a new color wheel to Color & High Contrast Settings to help you get a feel for the effect of each of the different available color filters.
• You may see a Microsoft Edge shortcut on your desktop after upgrading to this build. You can delete the shortcut, upgrade from this build and it will not return.
• We fixed an issue resulting in Mod Organizer no longer load mods into Skyrim in recent flights.
• We fixed an issue resulting in the last flighted build sometimes green screening with a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION in win32kfull.sys.
• We fixed an issue resulting in the WIN+X menu sometimes unexpectedly missing the accelerator key underline hints.

Windows Insider Program + LinkedIn = AWESOME

Windows Insiders! You’re going to see us doing a lot more with our friends in LinkedIn this year in order to provide YOU the best possible career and learning opportunities as part of our program. This week at Ignite, the LinkedIn folks are giving away 6 free courses on Deploying, Administering and Troubleshooting Office 365 that you might be interested in. Since we know many of you are following along on our MS Ignite adventures, we thought we’d share that info with you too. If you’d like to try these, click here!

Microsoft Announces Office 2019

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of office 2016 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

In a brief announcement, Microsoft today said that it will ship Office 2019 late next year. The release is aimed at businesses and consumers who aren’t ready to move to the cloud.

“Office 2019 is the next perpetual update for Office,” Microsoft’s Jared Spataro writes. “This release will include perpetual versions of the Office apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business).”

Microsoft will preview Office 2019 in mid-2018, the firm says, and will ship the products by the end of the year.

As for new features, we only get a few details.

“Office 2019 will add new user and IT capabilities for customers who aren’t yet ready for the cloud,” Mr. Spataro notes. “For example, new and improved inking features—like pressure sensitivity, tilt effects, and ink replay—will allow you to work more naturally. New formulas and charts will make data analysis for Excel more powerful. Visual animation features—like Morph and Zoom—will add polish to PowerPoint presentations. Server enhancements will include updates to IT manageability, usability, voice, and security.”

“We recognize that moving to the cloud is a journey with many considerations along the way,” he concludes. “Office 2019 will be a valuable upgrade for customers who feel that they need to keep some or all of their apps and servers on-premises, and we look forward to sharing more details about the release in the coming months.”

Microsoft Ships Major OneNote for Windows 10 Update

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of office 2016 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

Microsoft this week is documenting a major update to OneNote for Windows 10. But only the select few Windows Insiders who signed up for the Skip Ahead ring, now closed to the public, can access the update.

So a few points of clarification here.

Windows 10 users can access two versions of the OneNote app. One, called OneNote for Windows 10, and the subject of this post, is a UWP mobile app that is included with Windows 10. The other, called OneNote 2016, is available for free from the web as a standalone desktop application, or via various Office 365 subscriptions.

(Confusing matters, Microsoft is bringing the desktop Office/365 suites to the Windows Store, but it is not porting OneNote 2016 as part of this effort. This suggests that OneNote for Windows 10 is “the future” of OneNote, and that at some point Microsoft might actually stop updating the desktop version of the application.)

And then there’s Skip Ahead, that most misbegotten of Windows Insider rings. As you may recall,Microsoft announced in July that it would temporarily offer a new ring to Insiders called Skip Ahead that would let them test Redstone 4, the version of Windows 10 expected in March 2018, instead of the Fall Creators Update (Redstone 3). But Skip Ahead wasn’t just temporary—it will be closed when the Fall Creators Update is completed—it was also limited to an unknown number of participants. So if you see today’s OneNote for Windows 10 news and think, gee, I’d really love to check that out, but you haven’t yet signed up for Skip Ahead—doh!—it’s already too late.

To recap, the features described below are coming to OneNote sometime after the release of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. And they can only be tested by a small group of Insiders in with PCs in the Skip Ahead ring at this time. Sorry.

So here’s what Microsoft has announced is new to OneNote for Windows 10 version 17.8568.5751.

Convert handwriting to text. Now, you can select handwritten notes in your notes and convert them to text. Just select the Lasso Select button on the Draw tab, drag a circle around the notes you want to convert, and then click Ink to Text.

New ink effects. Office 365 subscribers can access new lava, ocean, bronze, and rose gold ink effects from the Drawing tab.

New graph features. Office 365 subscribers can now calculate its new graphing features like minima, maxima, and axes intercepts.

Recent pages. New Forward and Back buttons above the Home tab can be used to navigate through the note pages you’ve already visited.

Paragraph links. Now, you can create a link to a specific paragraph and jump right to that content. “It’s a great way to make a quick table of contents at the top of a long page of notes, or copy the link and paste it in an email to help others find the specific content you want them to see,” Microsoft says.

Copy a hyperlink. Now, you can right-click a hyperlink in your notes and copy the link to the Clipboard so you can use it elsewhere.

Windows 10 S Moves Tentatively Into the Enterprise

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of office 2016 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

Microsoft is now expanding the reach of Windows 10 S beyond education to include so-called “front-line workers” in the enterprise.

There’s not a lot of information about this initiative yet. But here’s what I know so far.

First, three PC makers—Fujitsu, HP, and Lenovo—have agreed to sell inexpensive, Windows 10-based PCs to businesses. Prices start at $275. These PCs will be just as low-end as the education-based Windows 10 PCs that various PC makers announced in the spring. But more expensive and more capable versions will be offered too, closing the gap with Microsoft’s expensive Surface Laptop.

Microsoft refers to these PCs as being “Microsoft 365-powered,” suggesting that those businesses that subscribe to Microsoft 365 F1, which is likewise aimed at front-line workers, will be able to use Windows 10 S instead of Windows 10 Business or Enterprise, as has been the case so far.

The front-line worker bit is interesting. Obviously, Windows 10 S is not acceptable to most IT workers, so limiting the audience in this way makes sense.

And while it’s unclear if this announcement is tied to Windows 10 S, it appears that new Windows 10 capabilities around remote PC deployment and management will, in fact, support Windows 10 S too. Meaning that Microsoft is doing work to make this offering more acceptable to IT.

I’ve not seen any of these new PCs yet, but this is one of the Ignite announcements that I’ll be examining further this week

Microsoft Issues Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16291 to to the Fast Ring

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of office 2016 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

Microsoft tonight announced a new build for Windows Insiders on the Fast ring. Despite promises about faster build churn,it’s been almost a week since the last build.

“As we mentioned previously, we are now at the point of the development cycle for the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update where our focus is now on stabilization for release to the world,” Dona Sarkar notes, again. “This means that we are releasing new builds to Insiders more quickly and that these builds will include mostly bug fixes. You’ll notice that this build continues to include a bunch of good bug fixes Insiders will enjoy.”

Amazingly, there is actually one new feature in build 16291: Cortana support for Resume from phones to PC.

“Cortana users can now resume articles, news from their iPhones and Android phones to PC from within the Cortana app,” Ms. Sarkar notes. “This exciting feature comes in addition to the existing features where users can sync reminders, notifications, and SMS across their devices and stay connected on the go.”

Microsoft also addressed an issue with Surface Pro 3 from the previous Fast ring build.

“If you are a Windows Insider who has a Surface Pro 3 and hit the bug causing the device to end up in an ‘unbootable’ state where the Windows OS will not load and it appears to be stuck on a ‘spinning dots’ screen – click here and read this forum post on how to get your Surface Pro 3 up and running again,” Sarkar adds
