Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16199 PC + 15215 Mobile

- down and installed on PC..
- took a long time - 'bout 3 hours all together..

*phew*

PS: I added those asterisks myself.. *Wink

 

That was a tad lengthy!!! Bout 2 and a half hours!!!

 

OK. A few takeaways from this update. But first, you are all advised to update to Flashplayer 26. As always you will need to run the flashuninstaller first. This thing is not going away any time soon unfortunately.

1) I did not get the esd files needed to create an iso. This could be because the size of this puppy after running disk cleanup was 21GB and I needed to run disk cleanup twice as it hung at the end of the first run. I will see what happens wheh I get to the several VMs I have. I'm also going to use the new quick create feature of hyper-v to update from 16193. There is good and bad about the new quick create but that can wait for future posts.

2) Being an insider is a significant investment in time and energy and I believe MS respects this as I was politely asked by the feedback at 2:30 AM whether it was a good time to ask me for feedback (it was).

3) I don't know about anybody else but an update to onedrive ran before the restart into this build. I don't see anything about that. Perhaps it was the temporary 1GB wsu I posted about awhile ago.

4) Microsoft is not using up all the bandwidth during which I appreciate. It is however compensating I believe by using 20% of my disk space. Now I'm giving it the same 80GB of SSD space that I'm giving to Windows Server 2016 and Linux (I am using Siduction (Debian unstable) now rather than openSUSE for reasons that are extraneous to this forum except in so as they relate to virtualization. .

5) Thanks to Micrsoft and my fellow geeks here on enabling an old dog to learn new tricks.

 

- just activated all cores, via msconfig, and set up ULPS for crossfire using Trixx
- stable so far..

 

Can you provide something more specific than "reset app data or unininstall > install Feedback Hub. Well I can do the later since the Store app hangs.

 

Marty....

To save Kari the trouble.....there are no ESD files anymore. I believe that has been posted numerous times in the past. Been that way for several months now. The UUPtoISO is the method of choice nowadays. And the author of UUPtoISO (and the predecessor ESDtoISO) has requested that discussions of those two be limited to the tutorial threads for each.

And the current version of Flash is 25, not 26. 26 may be a beta. Adobe - Flash Player

I am not aware of any need to run a flashuninstaller before update to a new Flash version. Do you have a link to this uninstaller?

 

Flash player uninstaller is usually used for uninstalling the beta versions prior to installing new beta version, or if returning to stable version.

Beta versions and uninstaller are on the same page:

16199 update hanging at "Working on updates 32% Don't turn off your PC. This will take a while."

Dare I turn off my PC?!

 

Is there an ISO of the build? I'm getting Error code: (0x8007000d). I'd like to do a clean install

 

I have this error code saying some of components are missing--will try again later. Had that for 22 attempts. Finally used download of 16193 from MS. Did in place install. Then tried another download of 99. Install froze and I was forced to do hard shutdown and restarted and returned to 93. So much for this build. This machine has been great at downloads but this one won't make it. I have installed with successs two computers, one desktop and one laptop. This desktop, however, is refusing and I give up for now.

 

Update: Microsoft inadvertently reveals new Windows 10 'Control Center' - Windows 10 Forums

 

Still poking along quite slowly at 33% installing on a new Hyper-V Build 16193 VM. Although I have downloaded uuptoiso I do not expect to get an iso out of this one. In fact I'm not sure the upgrade will complete at all.

 

I cannot recommend the experience of using the Quick Create feature of the recent Windows 10 Hyper-V program. - at least for creating Windows 10 VMs.

While you can create a Hyper-V Windows 10 VM in 2 steps I have not found a way to specify the location of the VM at least initially. It will be created in the Docullments\Virtual Machines folder on your Onedrive. Then if you wanted to quicky upgrade from say the 16193 iso to the 16199 you will be attempting to sync potentially a very large disk image and hang your physical host as I did - requiring the file to be removed by unlocker after a reboot. My physical disk partition was 100% which mean the virtual drive was actually 25GB although Explorer pegged it at one-tenth that size.

I will probably try Quick Create on say a BSD or Linux VM sometime in the near future. But I will move it out of Onedrive - that's certain. But then again if I do that I may as well just create the VM normally.

 

I want to mention an annoyance which I at least (and I'd like confirmation here) happens with each new build. I like to rename in File Explorer fixed drives with the label I put on them. So, for example, I will want to name C: Windows 10 Insider Build 16199 which is the label I put on it. However, invariably it gets renamed to Local Drive C: after every update. A minor annoyance but an annoyance nevertheless. Anybody else?
