Here's a pretty comprehensive article about this: HowToGeek There's a couple of things that jump out at me. First as a musician there's a new Screenshot function. You can clip a part of the screen and save just that. This means you're looking for the chords to something and you find them on somebody's site. It's always only part of the page, at least half of it is ads or other irrelevant stuff. Now you can just capture what you want instead of swiping it with your mouse and pasting it into a document. The second thing is a major change to Windows Defender and how it integrates into the also radically updated Edge browser. I've posted before about what I've learned from some IT pros. They say Windows Defender is very good and if you're concerned about online security you should be on Win 10 and using Edge as your browser. Otherwise, there's all kinds of other interesting stuff here too. Bob

Give us a break Microsoft, I'm fed up with these updates.
Can live with the monthly ones, but come on is it now two major updates a year?
All may seem interesting stuff until your computer doesn't update correctly.

I've said this so many times now. If these updates were a serious problem affecting millions of users Microsoft's stock would tank badly. It ain't happening guys there is no problem with these updates unless you've completely messed with your system on your own.
There are lots of people who love to mess with edgy third party apps that they install using registry hacks and other crap. Those tend to be the ones who have these problems.
As far as those AV comparisons people need to realize those differences are very subtle and small. I've talked to enough IT pros and I'm told the new Defender is plenty good enough. They like it because it's integrated with Win 10, no third party software to worry about. This is serious stuff because with a business there's liability issues if they're found responsible for a breach of a customers data. It it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me.

I heard of the update deleting some files for users, that is a bit irritating indeed.
Sometimes bugs can develop in an update, but it is more rare these days. I think we have have become a little complacent, but overall Windows 10 is the best OS they have delivered.
The one thing they have fixed and I am super appreciative about, it will no longer kick you out of certain applications to do a mandatory system update.
No longer will you be working on a project, or in my case playing a game, only to interrupted by the blue screen of death and rebirth.

Today I read only those who went to update on their own (rather than Microsoft pushing the update) had the problem of deleted files.
The audio reset is something else...
I look at two places after every update: power settings, and device drivers.
Microsoft will change my power scheme so that the processor throttles and USB hubs lose power. And the ever-present HD audio driver of my monitor (that I never want) is reactivated.

Ok, so that's another reason to just let MS do it automatically and not mess with it yourself.
Funny you mentioned the HD monitor driver because that's what I'm using for now. After moving into my house I still don't have my full studio set up yet so my interface is in it's box. I'm surprised how well the monitor driver works, Biab sounds fine with no glitches but of course I have no ability to plug in something and record live.

Every few updates or so M$FT has a tendency to install the crap audio drivers/mixer that came on the integrated audio of my Dell PC. I just had to go in and uninstall it all again and reinstate my Focusrite as the main card. No biggie, just an occasional belly ache.

I would settle for a Save Windows Preferences to a File option. So simple.

That makes too much sense, doesn't it? I think the problem still is us music producer types don't account for a big enough percentage of total Windows users to matter. We can squeak all we want but our wheels just ain't big enough...
As I've said many times, we have be nerdy enough to take care of these things ourselves.

Here's something that was mentioned in the first link in this thread and it's getting closer. Windows Sandbox: https://www.howtogeek.com/399153/windows-10s-new-sandbox-feature-is-everything-weve-always-wanted/This is really great. All of the people who love to mess around with 3rd party software that may or may not be dodgy can use the Sandbox instead of a VM to test it first. Way cool and I can't wait for it to be released.

It does look really useful and safe. I particularly like that it needs few resources and uses your existing license for Windows. Note: will work for Windows 10 Pro only (not Home).
You can try it now if you want to be in the Windows Insider Program. I don’t do that anymore; too much havoc caused by some updates for early adopters.

New with Band-in-a-Box® 2020 - MultiRiffs!
This feature was initially offered with the VST DAW Plugin, and now it's available directly in Band-in-a-Box®! MultiRiffs allows you to quickly generate 7 variations of either a portion of the track (which would generate 7 variations of "Riffs" of a four-bar guitar solo), or the whole song with 7 variations that are generated to play different material at all times.
Read all about this feature here, or check out our New Features Video (46:00) to see it in action!
Live Interview Today at 1pm PST - Aaron Short & PG Music's Tobin!
Check out Aaron Short's YouTube Channel today at 1pm PST for a LIVE interview with PG Music's Tobin!
Aaron's interview with Tobin is guaranteed to be entertaining and informative - it's a great opportunity to learn a little bit about the history of Band-in-a-Box!
We hope you can check it out! Click here for Aaron's YouTube Channel.
If not, don't worry - it will be available for viewing on his channel after the live event.
#TipTuesday - The Band-in-a-Box® 2020 Feature Browser
Don't forget about the new Feature Browser added to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac! (and Windows)
This feature is GREAT to help you locate a feature within the program!
How does it work? Access this feature by clicking on the [?] button on the main screen of the program or pressing the / Enter keys on the Chord Sheet. This dialog lists many features of the program and allows you to browse them, find the feature by text filter, read descriptions about the feature, find how to launch the feature, access to the online information or video about the feature, and do more.
Examples of a few situations where this feature is helpful:
-You know about a feature but don't know how to find it. Just type a part of the feature name and you'll see the hotkeys, menu, and toolbar info on how to launch it. For example, if you want to launch the Chord Builder but don’t know how to do it, type "builder" in the text filter, and you will quickly find the Chord Builder.
-You are exploring available features for Band-in-a-Box. For example, if you are a guitar player, type the word "guitar" and you'll see what's available.
-You prefer "one-stop-shopping" and would like to launch features from the same dialog.
-You are learning the program and like to browse or watch videos about topics you're interested in.
-You can't remember hotkeys and want to review them.
Read more about this new feature here, or watch the video.

#TBT Band-in-a-Box® 2017
Three years ago we were just rounding up our BETA testers to help finish up the testing of our Band-in-a-Box® 2017 for Mac!
With that version, we redesigned the main screen GUI, added support for popular .SFZ sound format as well as PG Music’s Hi-Q sounds (sforzando SFZ Synth.), added Natural Arrangements options and Hi-Q Guitar RealCharts, applied many, many, many enhancements to the existing powerful program features, and more! Read all about Band-in-a-Box® 2017 here.
Now, three years later, we're thrilled to say that we're already done BETA testing, and weeks into the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac release! Of course, that means we're having a SALE on Upgrade packages, but only until April 30th!
