Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16226 for PC

It's now at 41% but was stuck at 32% when I took this screenshot. I'm in the Windows 10 VM now

 

Hmm. This will be the third time I'm attempting reboot (if I do). Watched it go through all phases of updating. Says it completed. When rebooting it goes to dual boot choice screen, which it shouldn't. It should reboot straight to 16226 bypassing the choice screen. Says it updated and awaiting restart. Upgrading from 16215. Dual boot with 15063. Any ideas?

 

Your 15603's boot manager is messed up anyway. Just coninue the 16226 upgrade and fix 15603 boot issue after. I usually use Macrium to fix boot problem.

 

- all done and dusted
- in 3 hours..*Smile

 

A quick update from 16199 (I was unable to install 162215.) I did not disconnect any of my peripherals, or uninstall my anti-malware programs during the install; my reasoning for leaving those things installed/connected is that most non-technical folk will not know that anything should be disconnected/uninstalled.
But, and it's a big but, any app or program I open, doesn't retain focus. Focus cycles on for about 5 seconds, then off for about 2 seconds, repeatedly. Service Host: Windows Error Reporting is very busy. I have rebooted 3 times since the install completed. Prior to the last reboot I removed the Malwarebytes Premium autostart, that did not change the focus cycling. I shut down Vipre Internet Security just now, no change to the focus cycling.
I hope someone has the solution!
About to try starting in safe mode.

 

I've got the same issue on 16215. Something wrong with input module. It crashed continuously. I have to change the crash reporter exe file to prevent it from running. And now I cannot type in any metro app like Edge, Settings, even start menu.

 

Same problem here update from 16199. Cannot type anything into Chrome / Edge focus keeps shifting on and off VERY frustrating. I have reverted back to 16199 until a solution appears

 

In safe Mode I get a window titled "ctfmon.exe - Success" with the message "Unknown Hard Error". Hitting OK dismisses it for a couple of seconds, then it returns.
Searching for ctfmon.exe with the "Everything" search program finds many instances of that file, 4 with double extension (.exe.mui) size 3 KB dated 17/06/2017 21:52, 2 without the .mui size 19KB, dated 17/06/2017 20:58 and more, plus a large number of AppCrash_ctfmon.exe_55f........ entries

Edit. Ahhhh, now I remember the notes said to uninstall Net 3.5 . I read that but finished another project prior to starting the install, so forgot to check. It doesn't show in Apps and Features while in Safe mode.

 

Last two upgrades have had a lot of changes - no wonder it takes longer.

Personally I would never use ATI again having had bad experiences with it. IMO Macrium Reflect is far superior.

 

From what I read uninstalling Net 3.5 is only needed when update does not install and rolls back. My update installed without uninstalling Net 3.5 but has the focus issue. I am not sure that uninstalling Net 3.5 and reinstalling the update will be a remedy but i could be wrong.

 

tsk. I stopped using acronis when they removed the ability to mount images and browse them.


also Im having problem here with a fresh windows 10 insider build in vm not upgrading to this build. tells me to reboot and it skips the upgrade and goes to the login screen.

cant convert uup to iso because I couldnt find the correct folder as nothing matched the instructions.....

 

Updated from 199 (skipped 215!) in 75min to SSD. All went well except for a problem with Chrome. It persisted in opening on my secondary monitor and couldn't be dragged back to the primary mon. The focus also went on and off.

However, after 25 min or so it came right. This seemed to coincide with the antimalware scan (only Defender on this comp) finishing.

Pretty strange but looks good now.

 

The change is subtle but I like it:

 

Almost sure the focus cycling problem is associate with the hidden ctfmon.exe process, but how to disable ctfmon.exe. Unable to rename, requires permission from Trusted Installer

 

Here's a VirttualBox Windows 10 build 16215 updating. The VMware WS VM is at 61%. The HP Proliant is far less powerful than the Desktop machine which lost its power supply. It has a Xeon Processor operating at 1.333 MHz and only 10 GB of memory.
