Memory Manager Improvements:

In Windows 10, we have added a new concept in the Memory Manager called a compression store, which is an in-memory collection of compressed pages. This means that when Memory Manager feels memory pressure, it will compress unused pages instead of writing them to disk. This reduces the amount of memory used per process, allowing Windows 10 to maintain more applications in physical memory at a time. This also helps provide better responsiveness across Windows 10. The compression store lives in the System process’s working set. Since the system process holds the store in memory, its working set grows larger exactly when memory is being made available for other processes. This is visible in Task Manager and the reason the System process appears to be consuming more memory than previous releases.

More efficient use of available physical memory is always a good thing, in my opinion.
 
Just downloaded and installed. Went quick and no problems although it did reinstall the apps I had uninstalled on the previous build--seems it always does that. And sets W10 as the default system on my dual boot. Other than that, the only thing I see different is the settings icon is white instead of purple. It kept all my hacks, settings and workarounds as before, also wallpapers and dual monitor settings. Expires 7/15/16. Anybody notice any glaring differences from the RTM 10240 version?

Also just noticed that in running CCleaner on the new version, it will not let me delete the Edge cache, cookies, download history, etc.! Worked fine on previous versions although it would prompt me to disable Edge caching before it would delete. Now it just says those items are "skipped". More of the prying and nosing around I guess. Remind me not to open Edge again.
 
My ObjectDock was running really shitty under 10240, it would be very delayed and almost non-responsive. Going to 10525 seems to have fixed that issue.
 
In the new build the Start Menu can be shrunk finally..

I don't think that's new. Once all of the tiles have been removed you can do this in 10240 as well.

I never have. You can expand it.. But you could never shrink it back to eliminate a big blank area of empty space..

Not entirely though. There is still a larger blank space to the right.

It's even worse if you remove the built-in apps prior to install. :(

Exactly.. I'm glad they addressed this.. It was a big OCD flaw for me.. I almost have a reason not to use StartIsBack++ now..
 
I could unpin everything and shrink it laterally. I don't remember being able to shrink it vertically.
 
It never worked for me in 10240.. I tried and tried and tried and at most you could minimize it to the point you were left with a big blank void of gray to the right.. I could never get it to shrink to eliminate the blank rectangle of gray uselessness.

Kudos for using Clementine.. Great minimalistic audio app.
 
Lots of reports of Chrome 64-bit not liking this build and it blew up mine too. Just crashes every tab on open, can't even get into settings. Needed to run chrome.exe --no-sandbox to get around it but yeah, that ain't gonna fly.

The colored title bars are nice tho, I guess?
 
I wish you can increase the list in the "Most Used" section, that what really bothers me with the new Start Menu in Windows 10, I don't mind the live tiles but the Start Menu needs a lot of work. And is it true you can finally change the colour of the title bar instead of having that stupid one white colour? Personally I rather see if they introduced another theme, I've always hated that flat ugly looking theme.

Uninstall it and install the 32-bit version. There's more reasons than NPAPI support that makes it not the default version given to users.
 
Regarding the start menu....mine shrinks fine here so i wont be upgrading for that reason. Probably wait till slow ring makes me upgrade lol. Now if they would improve on the way the tiles look that would grab my interest. A dark aero theme for explorer and settings would be really cool to
