Wifi crashes explorer in TP5
When you click on the wireless network that you want to use, your previously entered Wifi password WPA key is not remembered and needs to be entered every time you reboot. That's not all, however after I click enter after typing in my password, the network settings window crashes and creates dump file everytime, Explorer is the application that crashes after entering my Wifi password.

RemoteApp and Remote Desktop services issue with gateway
I have installed Remote Desktop Services on Windows Terminal Server 2016 TP5 servers.
I'm using a gateway, in order to connect from outside over HTTPS.
RemoteApp and Remote Desktop are working really good from Windows Computers Clients with the Remote Desktop Application (from the Windows Store) or with the default mstsc client.
When I use the same application for a Windows Phone 10 device, or with the Android or iOS application it doesn't work, even if I use the same wifi network as my laptop.
I can add the remote ressources, but I cannot connect to them with the same…1 vote -
Bug: TP5: Notepad.exe often crashes when closing text files
Repro 1:
1) browse around the file system or any zip files, double click on any .txt files you find to read them.
2) Click 'X' in the top right of notepad to close out of notepad.Repro 2:
1) open explorer and click on "Documents" in the treeview to show your documents (and a folder you should definitely have permissions to).
2) In the area showing your folders and files, right click and choose to create a new text document. (I named it test.txt)
3) Double click the new text file and add some text. (I wrote "hello")

Logs of printing
Hi,
1) since 2012 we can't see in logs the names of printed documents. We, as a company, would like to control print flow in our company. we would like to know which documents were printed. Please return this inforamtion in logs.2) event id 805 includes information about amount of copies of printed document. but regardless of how many copies were printed, logs always contains only one copy. Please fix it.
because of these bugs we have to install "heavy" third-party applications for print accounting instead of using the "light" Windows features.
thank you!

Gathering feedback from the field (WaaS - Branches, Apps)
Hi together,
all my previous customers asked me how to gather feedback internally from the field when moving to Windows 10 with the WaaS model.
Microsoft (we) should provide a tool where end users can send feedback internally regarding to the current branches. Here it should be possible to divide this feedback into 2 parts - OS feedback and Application feedback. Also a LOB-App-List should be possible to attach. So the end user in the field chooses between OS or App, which are predefined and provides feedback in a traffic light style with standardized error values e.g. not working, performance…

Different colors in files
Different Colors for various files in a folder to have a better overview of your files and documents.
If you create a folder, in which you want to highlight several files, it would be an enormous help to be able to mark your files in various colors, so you can find them easier and have a better time organizing your documents5 votes -

Allow KMS to Store Computer Name and Last Activation Date in WID / SSEE
Inventory is always a challenge and KMS is a great opportunity to help. Add an option to allow KMS to store computer name and last activation date in WID / SSEE Windows Integrated Database. Update slmgr.vbs to add an option to export a text file from the database. If the KMS protocol transmits other information such as Windows OS version or Microsoft Office version, also store this in the database.
Thanks
Steven

Disable Hardware Offloads By Default
The vast majority of issues I encounter in the Hyper-V community, are related to hardware offloads such as VMQ and ODX. Microsoft is relying on drivers and firmwares that OEMs are either releasing with incorrect default configurations (VMQ enabled on 1 GbE NICs) or buggy releases (ODX corrupting VHD/X files). And to be honest, I'm thinking of getting business cards printed with "turn off VMQ" and "turn off ODX" on them.
The customers blame Microsoft because "Hyper-V is buggy". It's time to shift the blame on OEMs and to stop giving us the tired line of "we're working with OEMs".…

GPO for default programs
Edge is potentially awesome, but COMPLETELY unfinished at Win 10 RTM, and until finished, unusable. Even as a consumer, after hours, I can't use Edge because it doesn't support IE features I use.
This is the ONLY significant impediment to adopting Win 10, here.
I need to be able to set IE11 as the default browser through GPO until Edge can truly replace it.
Give me granular filetype/protocol selections and I'll only set IE11 as the default where I need it.
But give ME the control, or we will stay on Win 7 until Edge is finished.

Enable Roaming Profiles to have START Right Click Context Menu "WinX"
Move "C:\Users<Username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX" to "C:\Users<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\WinX"
Roaming User Profiles constantly lost right click context menu capability on start button. This capability should be improved on Roaming Profiles by now. Currently, we need copy the WinX folder from Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX to the user using logon script constantly.
Its time for an improvement on thandling this WinX folder for Roaming Profiles and add a feature on GPO to include or exclude synchronization if needed.
