8thString

Just installed Windows 10 Enterprise build 10074. First impression? Feels slower than build 10041. Also noticed that File Explorer shows corrupted string in Quick Access folder. [6/3/2015] Same issue is observed on Windows Server Technical Preview 2 (Windows 2016).

Looks like Microsoft is now getting really serious with security. Their newest browser, code named "Project Spartan" or Edge, does not run if the user is the default administrator account on Windows 2016 (Windows Server Technical Preview 2).

Windows Server Technical Preview 2 (Windows Server 2016?) does not have the option to install the full GUI. Figure 1.  It does have the option to install minimum shell (MinShell). This will provide access to Server Manager and the cmd.exe as shown below. Figure 2. The GUI can be installed, that I know of, either using Server Manager or PowerShell. To install using Server Manager, do  Manage | Add Roles and Features . Hit on Next button using the default selection until you reach Features dialog. Under the feature User Interface and Infrastructure , select Server Graphical Shell . Figure 3. Feature dialog Progress the dialog/wizard window until completion. Power users can also install the GUI using PowerShell, like: PS C:\>Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell -Restart Reference(s): https://4sysops.com/archives/how-to-install-the-gui-on-windows-server-2016/

I have Windows 8.1 with VirtualBox 4.3.28 installed. On VM running Ubuntu 15.04, tried to mount Windows using VirtualBox Shared Folder using vboxsf. The issue is that this mounted volume in Linux does not know how to handle mounted Windows volume.
