To all you early adopters

I've started getting popups (winten) regarding some kind of preparation for the coming Creator's Update. I've finally looked at a summary of what's new with it. Mostly stuff I probably won't use...I see they're still pushing Cortana. The Timeline feature looks interesting. Anyone here brave enough to try it out? Cornelius? :)

I had this shoved down the line months ago - made no difference to me, I create software not artwork. Complete waste of time.

Yes, I did try the pre-release version of the next Creator's Update a week or so ago. It seemed to work fine, until I tried to get into my bank account using the new Edge. I keep my passwords long and very complex and store them in an encrypted Excel spreadsheet. Then I copy and paste them into the password box on the bank's website. They are too long and involved to type them in character-by-character. The problem with the new pre-release Edge: It does not allow you to paste passwords using [CTRL]-V. It does not work. You have to right-click the password box and select "Paste" using your mouse. My problem: The Bank of America website does not give you the option to copy and paste using your mouse. You have to use [CTRL]-V! Aaaaargh! So the new pre-release effectively shut me out of my Bank of America accounts.:thumbsdown: So I reported the issue to Microsoft and went back to the previous version of Windows 10 that worked. I may try it again with a future release. I don't want to have to switch to Chrome. X| I used the pre-release so briefly that I don't really have anything else to report. By the way: A few threads up Eddy Vluggen mentions using the MVPS Hosts file to block commercials. I have used it over a year and it works great.

I assume they still have that awesome feature that resets your preferences back to Edge every time you glance away from your screen? Seriously Microsoft: stop it. I don't want Edge. You had 15 years of my time with IE and you squandered it. We're done. It's not me, it's you.

That's part of the next update - the not-at-all-confusingly-named "fall creators update". Microsoft 'Timeline' for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update lets you rewind open apps and documents | Windows Central[^]

:thumbsup: I still use IE instead of Edge but what bugs me is that even though I have a home page set to Google, starting a new tab wants me to use Bing instead...and I noticed it has started giving me a bunch of celebrity breaking news as well...quickly fixed by a click on the homepage icon. One of these days I will get around to fixing that. :laugh:

In IE if you click the down arrow on the right side of the address bar, there are icons for the other installed search engines and an "Add" button to add new search engines.

I started to use Edge, and didn't mind it. Then when I realized it starting hijacking my preferences that was the end for it. It's actually like MS is purposely pushing people to use Chrome. And of course when friends who are not developers ask us for advice, guess what we recommend? And yes Chris, they still have that awesome feature at least on my machine!
