Windows 10: Build 10162: Insider Hub App


The App for "Insider Hub" is no longer automatically installed, and will not be now, until we receive the public version of Win-10 and then once again choose to continue in the "Windows Insider Program", after which, it will then be again automatically installed into future Insider Previews, as before.

If you still want it here in this build (and I definitely do!) here's how you can manually install it on your system:-

Go to Settings > System > Apps and Features.
Click/tap "Manage Optional Features", Click/tap "Add A Feature"...
This presents a long, long list, which you need to scroll down, looking for the entry for "Insider Hub". Click/tap those words to get "Install" and click or tap that to install it. 
Then, Click/tap on the Windows Logo (Start Button!) at the left end of your Taskbar, to open the Start Screen Window, where you look for "New" beside the App for it in the alphabetical listings. Click/tap on that for choices like adding it to the Start screen, or the Taskbar, and you're pretty-much done.

I think they took it out of these latest builds, because they're obviously winding down the feedback now on Windows 10, as they concentrate on polishing up its GUI and fluffing it up a little for its public debut. The frantic days of "OMG! This doesn't work! Help me!" are thankfully behind us now, and so everyone's more relaxed, and we aren't throwing things out (or in!) with such wild abandon. But hang in there, Kids - we will be able to do this again soon, so they've promised.

And it just occurs to me why we might be having a "wandering cursor" problem. It's probably intended to get the cursor out of our way as we type these precious and timeless missives for inclusion in Posterity's Central Library.....
But it needs to be more consistent in its jumping and its destination location afterward, so we can find the damned thing! Who'd-a thunk we'd have a problem like this at our age? Not me, Sapphire!
