New stuff in Win10 1809

[momurda]

Please post new stuff you find in 1809.

Obviously, the greatest thing added in this build is Explorer's dark theme.
Unfortunately it isnt All The Things, as option windows and Task Manager/Resource Monitor are still blindingly bright.

There is also options for Quick Access now(this actually may have existed).
You can turn it off so that your Quick Access doesnt get filled with a bunch of shit you rarely use.
Just uncheck these boxes. edit: THIS WAS ALREADY HERE

Task Manager has more columns now, including Power Usage and Power Usage Trend. Some actual power draw numbers here would be better than MS arbitrary Low, Very Low, Moderate etc

Ill post more as i find/encounter them; feel free to add to this.

Still cant customize entries under This PC, so youre forced to stare at the never used 3d Objects list item here 100% of the time.

Would like to try this out on some of school computers that are accessible for students and the public.

@black3dynamite So you can setup an account to login, and that account could only use 1 application, say Edge only?

I'm not sure yet. I hope I can somewhat replicate Windows SteadyState.

@black3dynamite Interesting. That was a really good piece of software i dont know why they stopped offering it.

[black3dynamite]

Nope, that kiosk setup will not work for my goals.

@black3dynamite Why not use an actual Kiosk OS. http://porteus-kiosk.org/

I am using that for our career kiosk, but I need applications like Office and certification software available to students.

[DustinB3403]

@black3dynamite so you don't need a kiosk, but limited workstations.

This has always existed. I do not htink it used to be labeled privacy though.

Edit: It was labeled Privacy in 1803, just checked.

Edit 2: Yup, has been since 1511 (the oldest system I have access to)

The last place I saw SteadyState from MS was in Multipoint Server 2012. It is called Disk Protection there. I don't know if newer versions of Multipoint have this or not. Multipoint is a feature you can add to Server 2016+ rather than a standalone product.

MS seems to have removed SNMP from this build. Not listed as a feature in control panel.
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:"SNMP" /featurename:"WMISnmpProvider"
doesnt work anymore either.

[momurda]

Oh noes, theyve started their migration of putting the Control Panel Programs stuff in Settings app!
You have to do this from Apps and Features>Optional features>Add a feature> SNMP
Even using
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "SNMP.Client~~~~0.0.1.0"
doesnt work at the moment.

When is 1809 available for update?

EDIT: Are you guys seeing this in Windows Updates? I am not.

@wls-itguy https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-pulls-windows-10-october-update-version-1809/

[momurda]

I installed it on my workstation and one remote user until they pulled the update due to it deleting folders and files in some cases.

WOW! That is a major Fuck up! Although with all the backup software available for end users I say you should have been better prepared

Backblaze said it was great blog post fodder, though.
