Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Fast+Skip Ahead Build 17040 for PC

Thanks for that, linw. *Smile

I forgot to perform the reg hack to get back on Skippy after the clean install the other day. After I did that after this update is when it happened. Rebooting a few times didn't help. SFC, which reported nothing, then and another reboot a no go. Restored the image, rebooted, and all is fine now. *Smile

Acer at the restart finally.

 

Went smoothly until BAM! Unexpected kernel mode trap.
Rebooted and the same again. Now I'm in a bind but at least I had a dual install so I can type this and hopefully receive a solution.

 

This is what I got when I booted into Windows 10. Please note the filename of the attached jpg.

A fix in build 17037? WTF?

 

OK Insider Team. Here is build 17037 up on buildfeed.
10.0.17037.1000 (rs_prerelease.171107-1443)

How do I get it? Did it work with AMD? BTW build 17041 is already up as the latest canary? Does it work? Why is the no information from D.S. Did she get lost in a Lisbon bar or something? Yes I'm pissed and the blithe atttude of a few on this forum is disconcerting.

 

Sorted it out. Safe mode then uninstalled a couple programs I suspected caused the issue.

 

Went smoothly from 17035 except that the software raid drive showed up as RAW in disk management. So I rolled back straight away and all is good again with the raid and data. Took about 30 minutes to install 17040 no issues except the raid very quick to roll back maybe 10 minutes tops if that really.

 

OK. A lot of works but here we go.

 

Build 17040 released on November 16, 2017 - failed on BOOT operation

I've tried upgrading, fresh install, formatting the hard disc, always the same result.
can't get past the frozen windows logo to the spinning/circling dots

 

Alright! A few interesting feature and fix. Time to put my VMs on upgrade. Fingers crossed. *Smile

 

Yes it finally work and I'm on Build 17040. I am exhausted. More after I sleep

 

Had some friends over list night and after they left about half past midnight I didn't check for updates. This morning I heard about update so had to do some fast cleaning, checking and backing up system. Started update at 9AM and here it's downloading at good clip of 32Mbps at average, will see what happens next.
As for slow speed of updating some are talking about, I think that update is not taking advantage of system resources, Using only one to two cores/threads out of 6/12 available, 2 -3 GB of RAM from 16 and only couple % of fast SSD bandwidth.
Presumably that may be to be able to use computer during update but quite unnecessary as during that time, specially later stages, machine is unusable anyway.
Update started at 09.20, downloaded by 09.38 when actual update started. Right now using very little of system resources. Would be much faster if they are used properly.

 

Good morning all...

I've experienced complete failure on updating to 17040 for about 12 hours now. My computer(s) seem to be in a "Download/Install" loop in Settings/Update. My PC(s) don't seem to have a problem connecting to Windows Update and downloading the update files...will reach 100% with no problem, then switches to "Installing". When it hits 100% there, it switches back to "Downloading" again, and the loop begins/continues.

I've tried to create an ISO from the UDP files many times in the last 12 hours, but if fails with this error...





Seems one file isn't downloading. I've left both my PCs running for the past 12 hours, but no luck. Same error in the ISO creation every time.

Can anyone give me some insight how to circumvent this issue, or send me a link to a 17040 ISO?

Thanks...

 

Well, the upgrade seemed to go fine, but I've just noticed that every single shortcut on my start menu for non-Windows Store apps have disappeared. Also, Paint seems to have disappeared entirely.

 

All TILES disappeared ???

 

Ha, finally here after making ISO and installing it on USB.
