Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14986 for PC

Did you try restarting before installing MBAM?

 

..the Logitech G19 keyboard is giving me problems..
- if I try to boot up with the G19 attached, I get a BIOS error:*
- "AHCI BIOS Not installed", also*"No keyboard present"..

- If I plug in a conventional keyboard, the system boots OK..
- when I have both installed, the G19 keys won't register at all - though the regular keyboard is OK.. (??) *Confused

EDIT: seems the G19 needed to be moved to a different USB socket..
- once I did this. the system went into it's "new device" routine, and installed OK..
I then removed the generic keyboard and the system booted OK with just the G19 attached..

 

First attempt to update to 14986 failed, reverted to previous. (14971) I was otherwise occupied when it failed so don't now at what stage it failed. Ran the update again and it completed without any drama. One thing that was different from previous build installs was that the first restart occurred when updating was at 23%. Last couple of builds the first restart has occurred at 27%. Rest of the update ran as usual, the display switched from my primary monitor (driven by a NVidia 750 Ti card) to a 3rd monitor which is driven by the onboard graphics, at 32%.
The first time or two that happened I didn't have that monitor enabled, and I thought the update had crashed.
No problems yet, but a little different to get to System protection etc. Nice that system protect was left enabled *Smile

 

One computer finished, other computer at about 40%. Of course, like with all previous builds, I lost the old Windows games but reinstalled easily.

 

All my Windows Insider Build were set to Slow ring - had to reset them all. Must be a new feature?*Smile

 

Very strange, to say the least. I did a clean install of 14971 a week or so ago, and reset my computer to the fast ring. Today, when 14986 dropped, I checked and I was back on the slow ring.

Something is definitely wrong with that!

 

Same here. Still waiting for new build 14986.

 

My "Insider" system has a 2GB recovery partition since updating to Build 14986. Windows Disk Management reports that the "Recovery Partition" (which has not had a drive letter allocated to it) has 100% free space. Mini-Tool Partition Wizard Free (9.1) reports it is 48% used.
Is this something that has been added to facilitate the 'incremental' updating process?
Anyone else seeing this?
Feedback submitted.

 

Did you have Recovery Partition at all before this build ? I "killed" all of mine few builds before and they were never recreated.

 

Time sync problem is still NOT fixed. Does not appear MS will even acknowledge it. How long will this go on??/

 

So, nobody found any ESD file that can be made into ISO ?
$windows.~bt is smaller than before by about 1.5GB.
In case there's no way to make ISO and update gets botched (like couple of times before) I made full MR backup and copied $windows.~bt folder to another drive so I could use USB drive to run setup.exe from it if need arises. ME backup and restore from it would be last resource if everything else fails.
Speaking of MR, it said that MFT is no good on system disk, I run diskcheck on it, it fixed MFT error and MR backup is running now. Computer was restarted but update didn't run yet. Looks like it needs "Update now" button to be pressed to start update/upgrade.
If ISO can't be made I hope they will have it on the server sooner than Slow ring would get it.

 

Last three builds have not been very impressive for me

 

No, this is new, A 450MB "System Reserved" partition has always been present. This drive (SSD) has only ever had Insider builds installed on it. OS that is, I use the Insider system almost all the time, so I have dozens of programs/apps installed on the drive.

 

Went to update found updates available 14986,did download while i was out.There have been 12 attempts to install this version all apart from one has failed but on the screen right hand corner and in about its still 14971, i looked at update history and that tells me 14986 is installed but i just downloaded it again and is doing an install. its been a long hot day any thoughts even trying Linux !!!
