Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16193 PC and 15213 Mobile

You are welcome.

You are welcome.

Thanks to @meebers and to @AndreTen

 

You can apply with DISM (or IMAGEX) from any functional install.WIM (.ESD) to a clean formatted partition (x from within a running Windows 10, 8.x or 7 installation and add the applied volume to the Boot menu with BCDboot x:\windows​. You can also remove the current boot menu entry with BCDEDIT so that only the newly applied volume will boot.

Then all that is needed is to remove (or format) the old Windows volume after rebooting.

 

For me, word Clean in clean install refers to primary OS on a clean disk, to start fresh with partitioning options. Wipe the disk and clean install.

It's true that running Windows Setup from ISO, be it self made, a WIM based ISO Microsoft offers to Insiders, or ESD based ISO made with Media Creation Tool has an option to delete everything and reinstall Windows but this option does not include partitioning options as a pure clean install does.

It is also true that you can install or deploy additional Windows to dual / multi boot system in addition to primary OS from mounted ISO. This, of course, is also a clean install but not in same sense.

OK, that now being said, booting my machine this morning my screenshot tool Screenpresso notified me about an update. Accepting it the installer told it needs to download .NET Framework 3.5:





This seems not work in 16193, WU failing when trying to install feature:





The error is shown also when trying to add .NET Framework 3.5 from Add or remove Windows features.

If you face the same issue, a legacy Win32 app requiring version 3.5, just mount Windows ISO (16193 in this case), open an elevated Command Prompt / PowerShell, and run following command to install 3.5 manually replacing drive letter with actual letter for your mounted ISO. In my case Windows 10 build 16193 ISO was mounted as drive H:

Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:H:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

This installs .NET Framework 3.5 without issues:





I was now able to update Screenpresso.

 

Do Not use "Old/New Explorer" by 'Tihiy' on this Build!





You may experience no access to files or folders whatsoever!

 

I'm using the Explorer that came with this build. No problems viewing/accessing files and folders. Don't know what you mean by OLD/NEW???

 

'Old/New Explorer' utility by Tihiy, I've edited my original post.

 

I don't have the problem either Edwin. I took NEW Explorer off my task bar and used OLD Explorer with no hitch.

I don't use that utility so I assume that's why no problem...thanks for the heads up though!

 

Yes, UWP Apps, as well as Win32 apps do show separate volume controls in the Mixer!

 

Getting 0x80004005 error on two different computers and neither troubleshooter or retrying didn't help *Sad

I will try to download the ISO.

 

Sweet *Smile

 

Laptop updated itself without any intervention on my part.

Desktop - I manually tried once, received an error, hit retry, and it was off to the races. Managed to make the .ISO before install, and it all took less than 30 minute from the first check for updates to final desktop after post-installation login and final setup.

Haven't had any chance to play with it, and probably won't today or tomorrow.

 

Yes, very sweet; you can adjust Cortana's volume and keep it there!!! *Wink
And, the Photos App does play video files!

 

Anyone else having this issue: When searching any app (UWP & Win32) in Cortana, right click does not work. I wanted to write an XML file now which should be saved in Windows\System32 folder meaning I need to open Notepad elevated to be able to save directly to system folder without first saving it in user folders and then copy pasting it to final destination.

But, nothing happens when right clicking anything in Cortana search results. CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER does not work either (it should open selected item elevated).





Is this just me or do any of you have the same issue?

 

Works here, sorry my friend! *Sad

 

i got this many times.

troubleshoot windows update
restart.

do this a few times, eventually it will update.
