Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14291 for PC and Mobile

Oh, but your are good, Kari!

The tomatoes and peppers are in the ground, it started to sprinkle rain just as I finished and now you're telling me there's a new Build of Windows 10 released.

Well, duhhhhhhhhhhh, I finally caught your meaning . . . *Roflmao2*Roflmao2*Roflmao2 I wasn't saying thanks for the new build; I was saying thanks for telling me about it. *Smile

 

Oof...that controller bug is no joke. Straight to flashing black screens and then locked up both wired and wirelessly. Hopefully all these controller issues from the last couple of builds will finally be fixed in the next build.

 

My clock is one hour ahead, will not adjust. Changed sync from windows to time.nist.gov and now is correct. *Eek

Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14291 for PC and Mobile - Windows 10 Forums

 

Yep, downloading now.

Wonder when Magilla will get it!!!

 

No telling, Lin.

 

Going to make an ISO from the ESD in the $Win BT source folder now . (Thank you 10 forums for the tutorials on all that ) I had to mount one last time when WU failed to install 14279 from the Win $BT source folder .

 

Build 14291 is installed and running great and I am now creating an ISO from Kari's "ESD to ISO" tut.

 

Maybe John could run another competition to pick the date?

(Sorry, Magilla, we really are sympathetic).

 

Seems to run fine. Even installed an Edge extension. Didn't see an ad blocker, though!

Getting closer to being usable, but not yet.

And, yep, Restore was turned off again.............

 

Got the 14291 ESD install and dycrypter DL copied to another NTFS partition and stable Windows 10 OS & the desktop here .*Smile

Thanks to Ten Forums for the tutorials about all that

Going to start the WU re start/update install and see what shakes out . I had to mount an ISO last time when the 14279 WU D/L failed to install .

Might see if Google Chrome x64 is stable in 14291 like it hasn't been for a while on these insider builds here and if the OS in general doesn't freeze and I beam the mouse pointer or slow to a crawl now and then without warning .....IOW I ain't real fond of 14279 *Smile

I'm using Firefox 45 as a default browser now ( since today in 14279 ) here and it's behaving real decently no problem though..... I've always had and liked Firefox plenty anyway and I keep my Chrome bookmarks & bookmark bar up to date in F.F. anyway they can keep Exploder 11 and Edge outside of downloading a better browser .☻☻

 

I wonder if the 14291 HDD and Memory Mark throughput results in Passmark x 64 will ever match Windows 7 x64 they haven't on any W 10 build I know of so far and I started W. I. with 10029 in maybe Feb 2015 and I have 3 other 10586th1 PC's here a total of 5 Win 10 OS altogether *sarc

I'll bench mark 14291 w/Passmark x64 maybe tomorrow and post my results against 7 x64 on the same NTFS hdd & PC . *Smile

 

14291 installed.
Unlike last build (14279) when I was unable to connect WiFi, no such issue this time.
All working normally.
Have not tried "extension" yet.

 

*** I got this Web Companion crept in during 14291 install.
Did the download of 14291 also brought in this ad-aware ?
Now I have to uninstall it and hopefully there will be nothing left in the registry.

 

It installed fine on my laptop. First thing I tested was to see if Microsoft Cinema webcam works with Skype and it does. I also get a Wi-Fi connect but not the Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar. What I do get is the Ethernet icon with a red X and it is right, the Ethernet cable is not connected. When I hover the mouse over that icon, it tells me I have secure connection with Internet access.
