Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Skip Ahead Build 17627 - Mar. 21

Solved...downloading 17627. I went back to a previous build. For some reason the Windows Update got corrupted and after two hours I gave up! Thank you Acronis!!

 

No new build on Update.

UUP dump MiniServer fails to download 4 files.

 

Ok. Chang3d to fast ring. Clicked update. Changed to skip ahead . Success

 

Yippee...installed & working fine

 

installed really quickly for me, but none of my favorites were imported in edge for some reason this time

 

I quite like the new Sets feature now that it's working, maybe it was in the previous build, but now I've sussed it out I like it. Hope in the future it works for all Programs. I like having different apps in different tabs, quite useful.

 

I have no metrics on this one at all - it downloaded and installed all on its own while I was not even around the computer.

But, it's installed, so..... *Smile

 

Yeah, in my case the restoration of the tabs finally works, in the previous builds it didn't work.

 

Ahh @LEOPEVA64...not sure why that doesn't work here. When I close & reopen File Explorer and then click the top left icon (Open Tabs From Last Time) it does not work, just says 'We don't have any tabs'.

Is there any thing you have to do to get it to work? *Smile

 

I think that for now it only works in certain cases, if several tabs of the file explorer are opened, the option to restore doesn't appear, but if, for example, you open an image with the Photos app and then open several UWP apps in the other tabs and close the window, the next time you open the same image you will see the option to restore all. It also works with the notepad, if you create a new document, save it and then open several tabs in that same window, the next time you open that same document you can restore the rest of the tabs.

Something I've noticed is that if you mix UWP apps tabs and file explorer tabs in the same window, when you restore them, effectively, the file explorer tabs are restored, but not in the same window, those explorer tabs always open in a different window.

I guess later when they implement the option to save the sets, it will work with the file explorer.

 

Yikes! I came downstairs and found my computer "off". I hit the power on button and somehow corrupted my NVME drive bad enough to require a cold install. Fortunately my essential user data was stored in the Windows.old folder and I was able to back it up. I tried all the usual things restore previous version, recover, get computer to fix boot, etc but it was just too corrupted to do anything. Booted off of my hard disk clone (thank goob for SSD/NVME!) and found out the hard way what had happened. Nice tool to help with a busted boot drive is this program along with Universal USB installer. See you on the flip side of a 17127 ISO install.

 

"but if, for example, you open an image with the Photos app and then open several UWP apps in the other tabs and close the window, the next time you open the same image you will see the option to restore all"

Puzzled, did not work for me...grrr

 

Got back on Insider Skip Ahead track by following this post https://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to...nsider-program. This requires the modification of two values from "Active" to "Skip" instead of the one value that may still be on this forums.

I making the ISO right now. It just completed and I will reboot. I must have downloaded the en-GB version of 17623 but this is easy enough to change if I ever need to re-install.

Restarting . . .

 

@martyfelker..quick question as I'm quite new to the Insider Program. I have been using Windows Update to get the Skip Ahead updates. Where to you get the download from, to make an ISO from or am misunderstanding you?

(Just read this I presume the ISO is not from Microsoft and is only for a fresh install & not an 'update'?)
