Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Skip Ahead Build 17650 - Apr. 19

Only checked today. Downloading now.

 

didn't show up for me on update check
downloaded from server made iso and installed that way took about 90 minutes

 

Some programs stopped working, like EasyBCD for instance. On the other hand Sets have progressed, when I open Total Commander for instance and than open a text file in it, just new tab opens with That text opened in Notepad.

 

Just noticed that the cursor loading circle is solid and not spinning. Not a big deal but as I've noticed it it might become irksome *chuckle

 

This one automagically installed on my system - but both 17643 and 17650 have my mouse playing fits - the mouse cursor / icon disappears randomly and takes a second or 2 to show back up. It's annoying, to say the least.

 

I used a somewhat simpler approach: I just launched a Macrium incremental image which was automatically made last night as scheduled in viBoot, upgraded it from ISO, saved as new incremental and restored the new image.

I will demonstrate this viBoot method on our TenForums Saturday Live session on 28th, Saturday next week.

Sure viboot works as well. My sequence pretty much works on any virtual machine with a few minor changes.

Exact sequence is not important - key is updating in a vm rather than on a tablet.

 

Same here...



Strange bug.

 

Getting the same mouse cursor issue as well.

 

Everything seems to be working well so far, but no Insider installation ever took anywhere near so long for me before. It was more than 3 1/2 hours from start to finish.

 

Sure Viboot works fine if tablet is 64bit or support legacy bios.

I cannot see how to use viboot on 32bit uefi as hyper-v does not support 32bit uefi.

 

Updated to 17650 on the physical machine. Justed started from an image a few days old, which however had, about 15 non-MS programs including Nightly and Chrome Canary. I still dislike Edge.

 

The Explorer Shell is quite buggy, the disappearing cursor is driving me nuts!

 

Yes, you are right. I thank you for correcting me, and apologize for the wrong information I gave. As both my Asus laptop and Medion tablet had GSOD when upgrading, I did the upgrade using your method only slightly modified on tablet, and viBoot method on laptop.

Macrium viBoot is easy and hassle-free method to do the upgrade, but as you said it requires GPT partitioned UEFi machine with 64 bit OS.

 

Anyone missing the right click context menu on Sets Tabs?
