Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14267

That's good! The 7 side of the dual boot on the remote system by the way is strictly WiFi only while the 10 side has to be hard wired ethernet only. That is since the router in use lacks any 8.1 x64 driver support let alone anything for 10. Cisco doesn't like offering continued support after one or two versions it seems and the usb WiFi on 7 was originally sought for seeing that build now used mainly for testing made portable!

The now discontinues micro atx case while discontinued can still be found at places like Amazon for a price of course while originally seen at Newegg. I build a small system when 7 was first out using the same model case for a sibling and then grabbed 7 Pro already having 7 Ulitmate on the main for a portable pc project.

Still about 56% of the download being seen on the VM while this is being posted. Then I can reboot back into the physical 10 side to examine that more closely.

 

Anybody else noticed that each of the last builds has decreased the resource footprint? On my 12 GB Asus laptop, the available RAM when booted to desktop has slowly increased from just over 8 GB in RTM to about 10 GB in 14267, at the same time the CPU usage getting down, being now when idle between 0 and 5%.

This on a system where all the startup items, desktop layout and such have remained the same.

 

Had to re-enable SYSTEM RESTORE. Also had re-install Intel Chipset Software.

 

Even my Lumia 640 updated all right, MS is slipping, nothing to complain about !

 

How do I find this info?

 

10 has a Resource as well as Performance monitor while a simply right click on the taskbar to bring up the Taskmanager and open the Performance tab there will work as well.

 

I did that and all went well --- don't know why my desktop stopped getting build updates. I am still showing fast track and have disabled and re-enabled insider status.

 

Performance tab in Task Manager, as Night Hawk already told:

 

Something I never learn to use until now.

Thank you.

 

Indeed. Memory usage is about 1.6 GB vs 1.8 to 2 GB in previous builds.
Of course, this is old PC with 4 GB of RAM.
I've noticed that memory compression service is using a lot less memory.

 

I ran into problem(VM virtual hard disk ran out of space due to more stuff on my OneDrive) see here for more info and how I solved it:

Hyper-V virtualization - Setup and Use in Windows 10 - Page 29 - Windows 10 Forums

But I just finished installing now after added more disk space. It's ticking like a Timex!

 

Installed 14267 from ISO, installed without any consequences.

Did find one problem which I reported through feedback. If you use the new Settings GUI and go into Accounts and try to change a user account from Standard to Administrator, the pop-up screen to do so crashes and the Settings page freezes. It then must be closed by right clicking and closing from the taskbar. The settings change to Administrator does not stick on the attempted account.

If however you go into the old Control Panel GUI and make the change through User Accounts, the process of changing the account type performs as expected.

 

VirtualBox inoperable on this build. That's two out of the past three builds and it will probably remain a continuing issue.

 

Changes to the OneDrive online backup in this build, a comparison:

 

A couple of days ago, for some odd reason, my Insider partition refused to boot. It got to the circle chasing its tail part and just stayed there. I didn't want to mess with it, so I just shut down and booted into my RTM partition. Last night when the new build was posted, I decided to try one more time . . . and this wummerful computer booted into the Insider partition . . . go figure.

So far, I'm not seeing the new build, so I'm wondering what's going on. Like you, I'm showing fast track, so everything should be on track for new builds.

I guess it's just my turn to wait a week for a new build. But . . . Windows 10 Build 14267 is on Lappy, so on to creating an ISO.
