These may be better speeds.

When I click on the Search icon in the taskbar it opens a blank window.
I can't type anything into the window, so it does nothing.
Does this Search window work this way for anyone else ?

I have Win 10 installed as a VM.

I figured out what is causing my issue.
If the Win 10 VM window (VMware Player) is in windowed mode (I can see the Host Win 7 taskbar) the search input field is not displayed.
There is enough room to display it, it just isn't displayed.
With the Win 10 VM in full screen, the input field is displayed and the search works.

Thanks to everyone for the help and the links to the Hash Checking tools!

Anyone esle having problems with the start menu? I click on it an all I get is a small rectangle with my name and an "all apps" arrow. No tiles, and no menu for that matter, strange

I wonder if they're going to f-up W10 for rushing it like they did Vista... :O

10? Looks like an upgrade to the windows app store link.

If I'm honest, it really does look bad. :|

...I've played with Sysprep and WAIK all night (it's 7 AM here, whole night with WinTen). I noticed the same but found a surprisingly easy workaround: All answer files I have created on Windows 8.1 and WAIK / SIM using Windows 8.1 install.wim work as such for Windows 10, just replace the Windows version and edition manually in wim:path#version_edition and you are ready to go.

For example instead of...

Code:

<cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:X:/sources/install.wim#Windows 8.1 PRO" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />

... use

Code:

<cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:X:/sources/install.wim#Windows TECHNICALPREVIEW" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />

Works for me, thanks again Kari!
