Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16188 PC and 15210 Mobile

One area seems to be stable......the list of known issues in this build.

 

Because I have Office 365 2016? And have had Office in one form or another since around 2000. That's pretty much my reasoning, not considering the fact that Outlook.com never did work for me, nor has the new Mail app. All my email addresses work in Outlook 2016 . . . I've recently abandoned my Gmail account, since I had it for a specific reason and don't need it any more.

I guess the advantage for me is that I can read all my email in one place. Outlook is convenient and I know how to use it.

 

I did this time as well as last build. For now I am done with Insider Builds.

 

Everything went smoothly for me, Josey. I'm up and running and don't even have the problem with Outlook 2016 others are having. I just sent an email and it went flying off to the recipient. I receive a large number of emails every day and so far, no problems.

 

All good here, except for my rant about what they set back to default!

For instance:
Why do my custom reg tweaks for right click context menu stay, while @Brink's 'Personalization (classic)' gets the ax?
I don't get it!

 

Try changing what you show in the lock screen and see if that works. It does not for me an WOT.

 

See what you mean! Settings App is doin a lot of crashing!

 

I reported this like 5 times in the last build and again today. They want to do away with the CP.. LOL

 

I did create a Generation 2 Hyper-V VM of Build 16188. The performance is great since it was created on the SSD. Too bad it created it in the Onedrive Folder. It's now time to start upgrading the VMs.

 

Marty, where did you tell it to create it?

 

It is a new Hyper-V action "Quick Create". It does not let you specify a location and furthermore will only create Gen 2 machines. I can and probably will play with Import/Export to move it to the HDD which contains all my VMs (HyperV for Windows 10 and VMware and Virtualbox for Windows Server 2016. I have an identical drive where I house my Linux VMs. This is exclusively for Linux version of Virtualbox as there is no way developers will get VMware WS running (i.e. compiling) on openSUSE Tumbleweed - especially since I just upgraded to the latest Linux kernel 4.11. I do believe I may experiment with Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aadvark) which is only on kernel 10.

 

Anyone else seeing this sort of installation issue? I have submitted feedback.
Outlook 365 seems to be working OK for me on 16188.
Both build 16184 and now 16188 failed with a GSOD at 32%. A second attempt has been successful for both builds. A message was shown about not being able to install because another installation was in progress. If that was the case that installation was most likely a Defender update. No other updates were manually initiated. I am running Vipre Advanced Security as my primary Antivirus/firewall, and that is up-to-date. Defender is set to periodically scan.
My system is one I built myself, it dual boots Insider and 1703. Each OS is installed on a physically separate SSD. I have 3 monitors, one driven by the on-board graphics, the other 2 driven by a add-in video card. My primary monitor is one driven by the add-in card. During the update process the display switches from the monitor I have set as primary to the one driven by the on-board graphics at 30%, shortly after the restart.

 

Yup! Mine Starts with the onboard monitor, then switches to display 1, (HDMI), then goes to my main display, (HDMI), for the final restart.

 

You can now pin more than 3 contacts to the 'People Bar' and drag them to sort order.

 

You probably have done this already but if you have two Windows OS, even with separate partitions, it is safest to make sure neither Windows is aware of the other. Do this using Disk Management and remove the drive letters from the foreign OS. Say Insider is on the first partition and 1703 on the second. Then you don't want to see a D: drive from either. This doesn't explain the problem with your graphics cards however.
