Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14361 for PC and Mobile

Booted to Windows 10 as soon I saw there was a new build while in Linux (I dual boot). Pretty smooth and very fast upgrade.

However I have some questions. I use Greatis Regrun to notify me of any changes to startup programs or services. Every time I upgrade the following new services are installed/reinstalled
1) Program Compatibility Assistant Services
2) Superfetch
3) Windows Search
5) Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management

Now unless somebody can tell me otherwise Superfetch and Windows Search are not needed and not recommended for SSD drives which is where Windows 10 (and Linux for that matter) run on. This is a bug in the Windows 10 hardware detection programs I think.

I don't use the Program Compatibility Assistant since any freeware or shareware I use is certified as compatibile with Windows 10. This service is also a small hit on performance.
I have purposfull disabled all the Hyper-V services since I am running VMware WS and Virtualbox. Now because Hyper-
V and Docker containers are a new feature in this build I'll uninstall both of those virtualization programs and give Hyper-V another shot.
Still I don't like it that Windows still thinks it knows better than me what startup programs and services I need.

Also I figure I will do a clean install of 14361 in the next few days.

BTW I was obviously wrong about even and odd build releases. Still, since I said the Preview would be 14362 or 14360 MS split the difference *Smile

 

It's been like that long time now if not even from beginning, Every time new build is installed it sets many defaults no matter if you change them or not. System restore gets turned off, disk defragmenter goes to auto etc.
Superfetch does it's job even on SSD, helps a bit with starting programs and doesn't take much space. Search is tied to Cortana. Program Compatibility Assistant Services are on demand only and don't really have anything to do with SSD.
SSDs have grown up enough so that much more writing is not going to damage them like it was case with first ones.

 

Mine will not update to 14361 from 14352.
It reaches 3rd stage, displays 76%, then restore build 14352, but does not restore all my settings when it does.

 

Everything functioning here. Took whole hour to download and install this time because download was limited to ~2Mbps.

 

Downloaded. Installed (Win 10 Mobile on a lumia) . And the camera app is not working. Some update..... Seeing that the camera was working FINE before the "update", I guess this should rather be called a "DOWNdate" . Down to before the phone left the factory. I think I can see what is going to happen: ANOTHER huge update will probably complete later to day to rectify this sort of sloppiness (the wifi has been busy ever since the install more than 12 hours ago). If so - can't you guys check the basics before you push something out??

 

Thats the downside of using pre release software on your main machine

Some things might not work

It's one of the reasons my Lumia is on the main build, i dont want any issues with it as its my only device

Give feedback to MS so they can fix it for next release

 

I agree. For the longest time I did use the insider build as my primary but now I have a dual boot configuration and it's the best way to go.

 

I'm trying to download ESDtoISO from Kari's OneDrive. No joy. Tried to download a file from my OneDrive. No joy.

 

tried on my wife's PC. Success.

 

Good to hear!

 

I had a "winload.exe" bluescreen issue when I clean installed this last night. It was right after the first restart and Windows hasn't fully installed itself yet. A quick Macrium fix boot procedure corrected the problem. But somehow I had permission problems with one of my data drive and "Takeownership" won't fix it. I had to manually setup permissions and ownership till I got it right. That was a first time. Not sure if this new build had something to do with it but it coincided with the clean install.

 

Microsoft Solitaire goes kaput.

 

thanks for the tip!
got it to install,. but, as always, Edge doesnt handle passwords properly for me, I still have to manually re-log in to every site after closing edge, no matter what I tell last pass to do..

kinda defeats the whole reason for last pass, if the "autofill" feature doesnt work as it should..

Oh well, back to trusty old Cyberfox; maybe some day Microsoft will get serious about making a browser that actually works as it should
