Insider Builds: Crapshoot for Customization

It has been a while since I have posted. I run the Insider Builds -- all the most recent releases, and they have all been working real well without any issues so far as 3rd-party theming, and OldNewExplorer is concerned. Aeroglass is a different story, and isn't supported on these new builds.

On this latest build, 19569 from the fast lane, I found that on reboot the 3rd-party theme needed to be re-applied as it would not take completely. There were white borders, and the customizations were just not applying well at all. Choosing the theme again, and re-applying would fix it though. I don't know if it was my video card or what. I am using a Radeon R7 250 1 GB.

I did come across a registry edit which fixed this though. This turns on hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling. So, If you are having issues, you may want to give it a shot.
