Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Skip Ahead Build 16353 for PC

gave it a full 2 hours to complete and hydrate..

seems to be OK, so far..

- let the testing begin!*Smile

 

I haven't really seen many benefits in moving to Skippy, although this build does seem quite snappy so far. If those who didn't opt for it will miss much, it hasn't happened yet.

 

So far so good with this build. Everything seems to be running nice and smooth.

 

I was wrong, no new record today:

 

Update to '353 went smoothly - same issues as last few builds
Auto Play settings lost
Had to turn hibernate off
Edge still out in left field
HP LaserJet 200 M251 PCL 6 printer installation does not carry over I can't get it to install/work properly yet.
Had to remove all extra drive entries in Files Explorer

All in all - not too bad IMO

 

Seem to have lost "Sleep" or "Hybrid Sleep", Can only do "Hibernate". Checked it out w/ command prompt (powercfg -a) and throughout power settings.

 

Used Kari's Registry trick and am now downloading 16353

 

Ran a SFC just for grins and no integrity violations this time.

UUPtoISO went well once I found space. With all the newly downloaded files plus the .old file I ran out of space. Installing and running it on my secondary spinner went well.

Defender Security Center's > Device performance & health asked to free up space which I allowed, but the *Warning remained on the SC's icon in the tray. Opening SC got rid of it.

 

OK, starting the fifth hour.

 

Used this and it works. I wasn't on the Skip Ahead ring at all before.

 

Was looking at the size history of the ISOs since "Skippy" was born. 241, I think, was the last before it ever started. 16353 today took a big drop while the RS3_Release from Wed took a big rise. All WIM format.

 

Yeah, once I understood about Skippy, I didn't really see a reason to take the plunge; rather I figured I'd keep up with bug fixes instead. *Smile

 

Mine was hanging at 64% for several hours. Gave up, reinstated vhd from backup .vmcz file and trying again.

So much for uup - less is more!

 

You might wanna use that new feature

Well this one went thru like a champ (or was it chUmp) once it got downloaded at 2Mbps. I made ISO and once I hit restart it took 9 minutes to fully usable desktop. So, not counting download time all together half an hour. Sorry Kari but your computer must be very slow. Fast check showed that Run command still doesn't save commands, that's been going on last few builds. Sfc and dism, no problems. Default Printer stayed on but System protection for C: was turned off this time. Many less of custom settings are kept.
Now I wonder what part of Rs4 is in here, nothing in change log, except for auto update for APPs, about that.
