Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 15060 for PC

Probably still present in Pro version or simply not listed, when disabled prior to upgrade.

 

Even x64 W10 virtual machines function surprisingly well with even less than 1 GB set as minimum RAM. All mine have 4 processors, 512 MB minimum, 4 GB maximum and 35% buffer which means a theoretical minimum RAM 512 + (0.35*512) = 692 MB.




When WU has downloaded the upgrade and checks that vm is ready to start upgrade, current RAM is usually somewhere between 800 MB and 1,500 MB, at which point the "Not enough memory to install" message is shown. I shut down vm, change minimum to 2 GB, boot and let upgrade go through, then change minimum back to 512.

This, doing upgrade is usually the only times I have to edit minimum RAM.

 

Works fine but this is first build on which my ThinkPad is overheating, it usually gets max to 85 degrees, and now get's up to 98..
Also my maximum processor state is already set to 99%. if i set it to 100% i feel it would caught on fire (100% enables Intel Turbo Boost up to 3.4GHz, but no way i can enable that, that's on any build). *Sleepy, have no idea why is that..

 

All appears to be working ok, Edge, IE, Chrome etc, only fault found....in Mail and Calendar sizing "restore down" is not working.

 

You have serious cooling problems. At Idle your CPU should be around 35-45C MAX. At full load, try to keep it under 70C. You will lengthen the CPU life significantly. Your TurboBoost does not work at all if temperature is that high.

And this has NOTHING to do with Windows and EVERYTHING to do with insufficient cooling.


EDIT: Either your laptop is dusty inside and needs some maintenance, the heatpipes are broken or you have dropped the laptop and the cooling compound does not work as intended anymore.

 

Yes, something is not how it should be, i cleaned it inside completely from dust, cooler and all, replaced thermal paste, and it's still the same. It's like that for last 2 years. At full load it's always at least 85C.

 

Laptop was dropped once, but like i said i disassembled it completely, found nothing wrong or broken, replaced paste... Will have to do it again maybe CPU and heat pipe don't have good connection, but that's not probable.

 

I suspect the heatpipe is hitting end of life. I have tens of laptops with broken cooling system. :-D

 

I will order new pipe and cooler and replace it, that really might be the main problem. *Shock

 

Am glad to say installation on both laptop and desktop went without a hitch. Looks good. After install last night I didn't have much time to test anything. Working now on it and seems good.

 

I had a water cooler which needed to be replaced and I used the stock Intel Heatsink & Fan that came with my CPU. It was running hot and my CPU was always throttling down to slow speeds. Every so often even my bios warned that the cpu was too hot running at more than 70C.

When I removed this heatsink and fan to install the water cooler replacement, I noticed that only a tiny piece of the thermal paste made contact with the cpu. I think I was lucky my cpu did not burn out. With the water cooler re-installed, the cpu idles at around 23C and with a stress test the temperature goes up to 45C with no throttling down, 4.6GHz *Smile

If your cpu is running at 85C at full load and the heatsink is making proper contact with the cpu, get a better heatsink/fan.

 

I am starting the wonder how Microsoft expects any testing and feedback when new versions come out this quick. I am not telling them to stop though. *Smile

 

15055 -> 15060
It got stuck on Download phase at 99%, restarted windows update service and the install went smooth.

Now I have this process "Service Host UtcSvc > Connected User Experiences and Telemetry" that keeps my CPU at 5-15% after every restart. I need to stop it manually to go away..
Beside that everything seems fine..

 

This is always what happens immediately prior to a new build being commercially released for the masses. If tradition is followed we will have the final Creator's Update at least a week before it is officially released.

 

Problem is there are no better heatsink's, i did look for something better, but they are all the same stock ones. It's easier on PC to improve cooling, on laptops not so much.
