Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 15031 for PC

Made an ISO from the UUP files. Then DVD and USB.

 

downloaded and installed just fine

 

I haven't tried this build yet because of the Settings > Devices crash and how often I use my XB1S controller and Arc Surface mouse, but would Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Add a device be a decent workaround for connecting bluetooth devices until that crash is fixed?

 

Downloading now via UUP. Such a streamlined experience! Love it!

 

What the heck is this!? Audio file icons/Album Art flashing fuzzy and lit while in the Groove Player!?!?!?

 

Smoothest update yet. Doing a system backup and then I'll do a disk clean. Because of the impact on the household bandwidth I wait until after midnight to begin updating the VMs. Night light just kicked in. Very smooth.

 

I used the following work-around mentioned in the 15025 build thread updating my VM-WIN10IP-15025-UPGRADES (from clean install build 15002). As soon as the initializing phase started, I rebooted my VM-WIN10IP-15025-UPGRADES.

After restart, it directly started downloading the 15031 build, now at 72%. This is an amazingly faster - but not sure about the quality of the preparing phase - upgrade method then the previous 2 builds. When finishing this post it's already 35% configuring the update.

 

Installing the updates now 11%, time for a drink then...

Planning to upgrade my VM-WIN10IP-15025-CLEAN (clean install from the downloaded MS ISO) tomorrow running UUP and try to grab the ISO and USB. Just for the sake of practice! *Wink

 

You will have no issues. I've done 7 ESD based and 4 UUP based ISO images tonight, PRO and Education editions in various languages, clean installed testing 15031 ESD and UUP ISO images, not a single minor incident or issue.

 

Stuck at 97% for like 20 minutes. What?!??!





Edit: got to 99% after another 3 minutes.

 

I'm very impressed! Between the download and install, UUP took less tan 40 minutes. Haven't had a chance to do much testing because I had to take a dinner break. I did test the Settings - Devices to see if it would crash and it did. When I get back from Walmart I'm going to test Sleep, Restart and Shutdown. Downloading and installing this build was so smooth I feel confident that I won't have any problems. I'll find out for sure when I get back. *Smile

 

Concur with those who find it faster and smooth. Sending this from a 15014 x64 that could not update to 15019 or 15025, despite many aborted attempts. Also UUPtoISO completed without error.

Action Center was bust, but on a couple of 15025s it seemed to have revived, but not enough to give notifications, but now I see unwelcome notifications coming through - mostly resetting Photo viewer defaults back to Photos., and others to Movies and TV.

*Banghead

rogerwilko - it's downloading the 1.5 GBs of ESDs at 99% - it will complete soon!

 

Thanks @Kari! Great to have this confirmation, before even trying it myself. Will follow your instructions in your updated tutorial for UUP to ISO!

Never a dull moment with MS Windows 10!

 

That's interesting because my ethernet isn't showing any usage or very little usage. If the ESDs are downloading, wouldn't my bandwidth be at its max usage?

 

Perhaps checking and expanding -that's the % they started to appear in Windows\softwaredistribution\downloads\longrandomstringofcharandnumerics\

the big ones highlighted:
