WPCentral says Media Player in the latest build now supports MKV files. The codec is there. Just click Play Anyway. My Win10 rig is in the office, so haven't tried.

Here's the link: http://m.windowscentral.com/new-windows-10-preview-build-joins-xbox-one-adding-mkv-file-support
I'll only try tomorrow at the office. Maybe set WMP as the default MKV player and when it complains, say Play/Open Anyway.

Worked for me, it did complain about the file type not being supported but played it anyway.
Think they are still working on properly supporting it.

I am still on build 9841, even after downloading updates. That article mentions build 9860 though.

Yeah, you need to download and install the latest build.

Yes, I see that it is only available in the preview build, which need to selected through PC settings and then under Update and recovery. Will check it out.

I am/was dualbooting ubuntu 14.04 with Windows 10. Upgraded Ubuntu to 14.10 on the weekend, and now my windows partition seems to be fubar. Not that I really care. Hardly use it these days....
I have no soundhaha, only noticed now. Drivers/settings all look correct but no sound. Now that ive noticed it, im missing it dearly.
Uninstall and delete Audio Drivers, reboot, problem fixed.

So where is the new version of Microsoft Office, as Office 2013 was the crappiest Office ever released on this planet?
I'm actually surprised Microsoft has not released a public apology for releasing the turd that is called Office 2013.

Really? Most people I know absolutely love Office 2013. Especially in Office 365.
The next Office is due in the second half of 2015.

WHAT?? Have you ever used Office 2013?
All the white themes and all capital letter menus shouting at you? You cannot rearrange/resize the right taskbar/calendar/to do bar, no calendar notifications if it's more than a week......it's bloody terrible.
Sies, Microsoft. Fix it.
