Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14959 for PC and Mobile

Installation when well with no issues. ESD to ISO completed and Disk Cleanup run. No problems with time settings. I did not try and install Malwarebytes because of the MSFT warning...no reason to blue screen until they remove the warning. It is a bit of a surprise that it has been an issue thru at least 3 builds.


WEK

 

WU didn't detect the last build for some reason so had to resort to other means to get the 14955 update. Happy to report that WU has seen 14959 and is downloading it as we speak! Yeah!

 

This is a screenshot of my Windows 10 VM which was by running VMware Converter (physical to VM) from a previous Windows 10 Preview Edition on my physical machine (custom build - see my specs). I then transferred the VM to my openSUSE Linux partition and use it as a shared VM. Still no time sync as you can.

I'll make my ISO and then boot into Windows and see that upgrade.

Ta Ta

 

This is weird. WU is stuck at 99% for the last 10 minutes. Usually the last 1% completes downloading quickly. Hmm....

 

Winona, I am so sorry to know of your daughter's problems. I am glad she is doing well. I knew I had missed your posts for a while. Just know you and your daughter are in my prayers.

 

Thank you, kind sir.

 

Thanks, Magilla.

 

Trying to update now from my physical machine. Needed to re-install Build 14955 fresh to temporarily remove GRUB (but not for long!).
The time sync problem was still there as expected and here's another symptom besides the fact that trying to set Internet time in CP shows error access denied. Manually set time zone to Eastern, rebooted, and the time was still 3 hours ahead (4 AM when it should have been 1AM). Had to manually set the correct time. Thus a very significant bug.

Now I'm still not being presented with 14959 but I did have to correct an error in WU trying to install my Radeon Driver. Used AMD autodetect utility to manually update the driver.

Tomorrow is my 22nd wedding anniversary. Hope to get the update then. Good night for now

 

Note Notice please: the following is how it works on all my Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 physical and virtual machines representing my personal opinion based on my experience. Other users might have issues I don't have.

Manual time sync at least on all my machines works. I get the same error message:

However, the error message says nothing about sync failing, in fact I have tested this several times on 7, 8.1 and 10: time will be synced, working as it should, but due this "Access denied" system can't get and show the status (success / fail) of the manual sync.

 

Maybe time sync is handled from the host?
Just like in advanced power options in control panel the settings cannot be changed, as they are handled through the host.
There are a few other options and settings that cannot be changed/tweaked in a VM(at least on Hyper-V VMs).

 

The behaviour is the same on physical machines and virtual machines. "Access denied" for the status report will also be given even when sync is run as admin (Cortana > timedate.cpl > Right click, Run as administrator).

 

*Huh*Shock*Eek

 

Turn off Scan for rootkits when running MBAM on this build.
It will cause a BSOD if you don't.

 

Being an ornery fellow Cliff I just ran a scan with rootkits checked. No BSOD so it appears not to affect everyone. Running a 32bit system in VirtualBox.

 

Could have been a hiccup, or a Hyper-V thing.
I'll give it another shot tomorrow.
