Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 15014 for PC and Mobile

You sound like me for most of the day I installed 15007 (yesterday? Gaaaa!...*Wink) Hang in there! The really weird thing about all of this is that for all the trouble I had with UUP/007, I just checked my registry settings after 014 installed and it appears that UUP was turned on tonight! Hah! From start to finish the upgrade install sailed through. Fast, sleek. Go figure....!

 

I just checked notifications and all I had was a nudge from Cortana saying it would help me with my to do list. No, thanks!

 

It's past my bedtime, so I'm going to have to shut down. Or leave the stupid thing running. Which I don't like to do.

 

I shut down, but on a whim, restarted. One thing I've noticed since the Fast Boot discussion started:

I turned off Fast Boot in my AU partition, and when I shut down from that partition, I always get a bootup the first time. I didn't turn off Fast Boot in the Insider partition, and when I shut down from there, it always takes two tries to boot. Understandable, but I don't have to like it. *Sad

So, anyway, when I clicked on Security and Update, it was still at the same 0% spot I left it in. Then, a couple minutes later, it started to looking for updates. Now it's finally downloading. I'm at 10%, so I guess I won't be going to bed for a bit yet.

I need to try to get an ISO out of this thing.

 

Let's do it in turns. As you stay awake, I can go to bed for a few hours. It's 6:25 AM here.

 

Good night, Kari. Or, is that Good Morning?

 

Restarting. Guess I'll just have to skip the ISO for now. Too tired to read the documentation.

 

I was late coming back home last night didn't eve see the flyout about new update available until I woke up this morning, 6 AM. Since I wasn't ready I didn't make MR backup so it will be some time until installing the build. UUP is turned off so I'll have to make ISO too. BTW, download progress bar worked in 2-5% increments all the way thru.
When I make ISO, I'll turn UUP on , clean up %Bt.... folder and try with UUP on just to see what would happen.

 

Is there a way to check the integrity and completeness of the files in the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\a8a8e521f63ca51be28e3f995e06b292 (or whatever the code for the UUP download bundle is), BEFORE the upgrade or the UUPtoISO program tries to run, but ends in aborting either the Upgrade or the ISO, or both due to some uncorrected download error?

This seems to be a failing of the UUP, that it comes down the line piecemeal, in many individual files, instead of either a single archive file that is expanded once downloaded fully, or like a bittorrent where the checking process is progressive with the assembly of the downloaded pieces.

It has happened several times to me since the inception of UUP process, at the cost of time, download volumes and user frustration at being sent back to start at the beginning.

 

Same error as the last 2 updates here.
page fault in nonpaged area

 

So far so good*chuckle

 

After switching to UUP and deleting $Windows-Bt folder it would not download update. error 0x80242006. Attempting this fix now: How To Fix 0x80242006 Error?

 

Very smooth update just like it used to be 4 or 5 builds ago

 

I have a very mysterious hardware problem preventing me from getting to this build on my physical machine. I could go into great detail but suffice to say the freezes occur on all of my triple boot OS's. Interestingly I do not have a problem with freezing when I'm running off a bootable DVD of which I have many many. I do have a Virtualbox and VMware Insider build running on my ancient HP Server however.

I don't seem to be missing much new looking over the announcement. But it is pretty clear that Microsoft is using a few million insider machines for their own purposes. What is the criteria for which Insider gets to test new code? In the interests of trransparentcy it would be nice to know.

Isn't it a gas living in the new trumped up reality *Tongue

 

Smooth installation process and update.

After ten minutes of sitting on idle, without network and disk activity, I rebooted and the download started immediately with the bar showing the download progress.

All I had to do after the installation was to clean install the latest, stable, NVIDIA driver, as I always do, so that I will regain the openCL.dll files in System32 and SySWOW64.

Nice build, so far. I did not have the time for further testing.
