Known issues

While we appreciate all feedback, please remember that we offer no official support for beta \ preview \ developer channel versions of Windows. If you report issues while in any of those early release channels, you should not expect them to be addressed unless it still exists in a retail version of Windows.

Were there any additional small changes since the Beta?

Reply #5 from Stardock Forums Top

Windows 10 Style, Display 125%

The Rename bubble is very small and does not expand to show the full name. This may be by design, but it makes it hard to use the Rename feature. This appears to be the case with all available styles.

EDIT: Evidently the Rename bubble is limited to the size of the icon. On medium or larger the bubble is useable.

Small Size

Medium Size                                       Wide Size

Not in this release.  We wanted to get this into the full public version, primarily because users were consistently reporting positively to the Beta.  Especially for those on newer versions of Windows.

I can see this occurring for small icons in the Win10 style, with 100% (Recommended) scale.  Will have it logged.

Back to the issue of not being able to click on the Power and Sleep settings:

Like this :

I can click on it

Like this if you click on it nothing happens, :

Just drag the taskbar higher, the option to click also moves higher but not possible to click it.
