Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 15025 for PC

- the retry worked eventually.. *Thumbs

 

Same thing I had. MS needs to go back to the ESD download and scrap UUP.

 

UUP just ain't no good, for most people. Dona says to wait. Well, Dona isn't the one doing the waiting. That's why I turn the stupid thing off. You can set it off right now, in the middle of the initializing and reboot. It'll come back saying Opps! I'm sick, Retry. Click retry and it'll start downloading the ESD flavor. I've done it that way a number of times. Not real graceful, but it worked. At least here......

 

In all, 15025 download and installation were much faster than 15019 on my system (UUP still on). A couple of problems so far. Windows.old won't delete. Disk Cleanup didn't get rid of all of it and my usual "failsafe" method of using Command Prompt on a Windows installation CD returned an "Access Denied" result. Then, the update for LibreOffice froze up when it tried to register fonts. Not even Task Manager could get me out of the installation window. Neither Restart nor Shutdown would respond. I had to hit the reset button.

 

install took about 3 hours here..
the PC looks like it's doing nothing, but the activity light on the case keeps flickering
so at least you know that something's happening - it just takes a long time..

- hey, that's an asterisk-free posting..*Biggrin

 

No luck at all with UUP even beginning the download--no matter what I did to jump start it. (Microsoft's instructions didn't work.) However, as soon as I turned UUP off and rebooted the download began almost immediately. UUP is a huge dud atm and a terrific time waster--hate to caluclate the millions of man-hours wasted on UUP "delivery" (oxymoron) to date. Normal .esd delivery works like a champ!

 

33 minutes........

 

That's crazy too! *Wink

 

Said the same bug was in the last build--but didn't see it, fortunately. Hopefully it's fixed much better than UUP...*Wink

No word on whether the font-size adjustment is back in, though...have a feeling it is not. Not sure how they could drop something that critical to the GUI without a single comment...we'll see...!

 

and the winner is......definately not me 5hrs and counting
working on updates 5% taking 10mins+ for each

Wonder if the East Africa conference is gonna get moved back a week

This better be worth it!

 

I wonder if they have have even tried the UUP. They want people to try it and when it's reported that it's screwed up they completely ignoring the reports and keep using it.
