Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast+Skip Build 17046 for PC

I think you must mean 96 Mb/s not MB/s. 96 MB/s would take less a minute to download files!

 

This one won't upgrade for me either!!! *Huh

 

Wow - backward compatible bugs :-D.

 

Download install and ISO went fine but for the fourth time after the Hi screen I get a GSOD and a restart plus a drive check by Windows. After that Start came and went and came back, Background was missing (actually jumbled up) so reinstalled Intel driver. After three restarts things have smoothed out but it was a rough build install.

 

I've tried upgrading, fresh install, formatting the hard disc, always the same result.
can't get past the frozen windows logo to the spinning/circling dots

 

Same.

 

It went smoothly for me. Very nice indeed.

 

I had a choppy Start menu at first in the last build. It calmed down after awhile.

This tutorial worked in FCU, but couldn't get to work with a clean install of 17040 nor in this upgraded build. It's a PITA restructuring Start screen in IP upgrades and fresh installs! The most frustrating aspect of updating! *cry

The old inch worm Acer is updating. I'll leave it run while I go snooze. *Sleepy

 

I was wrong, the issue is fixed. Both Image Guardian and CBT are fully working in 17046, not breaking OneDrive Files on Demand anymore. Issue only exists in builds 17035 and 17040.

About CBT:

it's not much good if you regularly shut your PC down as the information is not retained across windows sessions. This makes it useless for most home users.

 

Great, I am glad to hear it. Thanks for CBT post - better description than I saw elsewhere. I only really use incremental s when I am trying something and want to quickly backup current state e.g. some regedits (with rapid delta restore, this is a really quick way to roll back - I have system restore switched off now).

So in the end, issue was a Windows 10 not Macrium issue.

 

I think I will leave CBT off. It is one complexity I do not need to risk, as I will not get any significant benefit with my usage - as I said originally option seems more geared to corporate use.

 

I ran it for a while when it first came out as I use daily differentials and the occasion incremental. Even though at the time I wasn't shutting down daily I found that I still had to do the odd restart which stopped it in it's tracks for the differentials until the next full backup. It didn't make much difference anyway so I disabled it.

 

I do not want to risk image integrity (for which Reflect is undisputedly the Heavyweight Champion if the World) with a feature that does not appear to be reliable.

So off it stays for time being.
