I have received an email from a friend which includes a number of attached .jpg. files. When I open the email, I see the files as a row of thumbnails at the top of the note with "<< >> View slide show" underneath. I can use the arrows to scroll through the slides in-situ but the "View slide show" does nothing when clicked. I am expecting it to use Photos or whatever to display them and to allow me to scroll forwards and backwards through them just like I could under Win8.1.
Is there some setting that I haven't set or am I just expecting too much?

Must be something you are missing - when I click on it it takes me to "photo gallery", the default app I have set for .JPG files.
Check your file associations: save one of the files and see what happens when you double click the saved image.
For reference, I tested using:
Windows Live Mail 2012, Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3528.0331)
on
Win 10 Home, V 1511, Build 10586.164

Thanks for the reply.
I have "Photos" set for .jpg and .jpeg files and Photos does indeed open the picture if I click on one of them. It does not open them as a stream when I select "View slide show".
I do not seem to have an app called "photo gallery". What actual application do you have? Is it one provided by default by Win10?

Windows Photo Gallery 2012
Build 16.4.3528.331
(c) Microsoft Corporation
It's probably part of the "Microsoft Essentials" pack (free download from MS)
But if you're using Live Mail instead of Mail you already have that!

That explains it. I only installed Live Mail and OneDrive from the Essentials pack under the assumption, falsely as it s turned out, that Win10 would provide the other functions. I have now installed Photo Gallery as well.
Thank you very much for your help.

Please don't just post again when it doesn't appear immediately - all three of these were picked up by the spam detector, and I had to let them all through then clean up the spares to prevent you getting "spammer" kicks!

Sorry about that, but the response I got did not say anything about moderation pending, it looked like a server error.

How is this different from online chess against a computer? Something like ThinkingMachine 4?

else

MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

In my mind I cannot find the difference. isn't this machine still evaluating (time bound) moves and possible outcomes and then just choosing the right approach.

With Go the possible moves is very large.
At the end a complete decision tree of all games - all possible moves- there are 10761 (estimated, while in chess it is 10120 "only") leaves...It is way to large eve for a computer, so computers are estimate possibilities of winning (how many leaves under the selected node leads to win) to cutting down the tree...The interesting thing with AlphaGo is that it uses some AI to learn and minimize decision tree...Obviously this approach is very successful - after all AlphaGo won 3 games already...
In the 4th game the move made by Lee was evaluated so low, that AlphaGo didn't took it in count, so when made it confused it...It seems, that at some point all the possible steps had a very (too) low winning rate so AlphaGo picked random steps (seems it can't resign)...
It will be interesting to see the analysis of the game from the side of the developers of AlphaGo...

That explains it.
Looking forward to a question somewhere that will go like: How to store 10761 numbers in a list?

So, if I were at a position in the game where I intentionally play wrong moves and lose, will the weight of right move reduce? I can then turn a very intelligent machine in to stupid.

As the machine use both tree searching and AI, it will not happen...

Go is much much harder for a computer. In chess you have typically 20 possible moves on each turn. In go you have 300. Put that into an exponentially growing search tree. So go has been the "holy grail" of the Machine vs. Man struggles for a long time. No one managed to do it before now.

In the game AI world, the game of "Go" was the last "common" abstract strategy game by which computers could not outsmart humans. It is also a known "milestone" in that milieu.

It's even more intelligent than we had thought - it deliberately threw the last game to keep the human mark interested.
Classic hustler ploy.

You're prolly right!

I was listening to Auntie(Radio 4) this morning and it was explained that Alpha Go uses a form of AI where it learns from its mistakes and from previous games.
The move that caused the win was ranked with a chance of something like 1/10,000 which is why the computer dod not see it coming.
The interesting bit is that Alpha Go is now going to be more capable of not being beaten with that move in future.
