Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14251

Have a look in C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setuperr.log or if that doesn't help C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setupact.log

They will tell you why the upgrade failed. Usually.

You can upload the error log here if you want but don't upload activity log without checking for any personal details first as it will contain your name, email address, IP address etc.

 

Completed in 25 minutes..

 

Fired right up this morning and still not an issue in sight.

 

I wonder why your computer is so slow. It took my computer less than 15 minutes total for a complete install including the disc clean up and setting up system restore and a few other tweaks. I think that mine takes extra long because it is in a multi boot set up and I have to sit here and go thru a menu for each restart, but 1 hour would be unbearable.

 

Yeah I have been playing around with mine this morning, opening all of the apps and doing different things. Everything seems good.

Probably a lot of installed SW, it takes time to sort all of that out, everything has to be checked for compatibility and returned to it's place.

I can only assume you have a faulty timekeeper, or are prone to exaggeration.

 

There seems to be a greater number of conflicts, in Build 14251, between the 2 - Control Panel and Settings, especially with setting default programs.

 

Hi there..

Ensure when downloading you've enough HDD / SSD space to install -- remember that the Windows.OLD file is created and you can only delete it AFTER your new version of Windows is installed (if you do it in the normal way via UPDATE.

Hello
Question:
This build is stable? no bugs? compared to RTM latest build 10586 with last patch?
worth the install?
*Party cheers*Smile

 

It's go to vary from user to user on the stability thing. For me it's very stable and working just fine. But you might encounter some issues if you have a network set up.

Is it worth a try.. I think it is but there are not many real updates to talk about. It's again mostly under the hood things that have been updated.

yes I know stability security etc.
I'm a insider but i didn't install any isider build after rtm 10586 cause i thing is stuble enough
now I like to continue with isider builds but afraid they gonna mess up my system with bugs.
people say is stable and works smooth.confirmed? *Party

 

14251 has many more bugs than 10586 (as you'd expect). You can look in this thread from the known issues to other sort of niggles. Nothing too bad (except the Windows 7 games don't work any more but they haven't in any RS1 release *Mad )

Both are very stable though (if by stable you mean does the whole OS crash). That hasn't happened to me for ages.

As @BunnyJ says there is no new functionality at all. The only thing I'm aware of is you can right click on the Edge back arrow to show previous sites.. Not enough to upgrade unless you like looking for bugs (I do).

The only critical issue (for me anyway) is in no RS1 build can you boot the same installation both as a VM and native. Or at least I can't make it work. In every version of Windows since the dawn of time (Windows 7) you could to that but not any more it seems. If that isn't fixed I'll be on 10586 for ever - and at least I'll have Spider Solitaire *Smile

 

Correct .. that new feature in Edge is great and it's been due for some time. And there will be issues like this with insider builds but for me it's nice and works fine.

And it's hard to confirm if this build or any future builds are as stable as someone might want. Since I don't game it's not an issue that Win7 games don't work. I just use mine for programming and website work.

 

Sorry, to be clear, I only meant the built in Windows 7 games - Spider Solitaire, Minesweeper and so on - not other 3rd party ones.

You could install them up to 10586 but not any more.
