Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Slow Build 16278 for PC

I love the OneDrive features. Much better than the old placeholder system. One Drive as a local service was useless to me while everything was downloaded locally.

 

My upgrade went smoothly on first try when I did the following:

• Full disk cleanup
• disabled nVidia display driver
• Disabled all NON MS services
• Disabled all startup items
• Rebooted
• Disabled Windows Defender completely
• Upgraded in WU

 

An additional bummer for me. My 100GB download limit at full speed (50/10) has expired and it slowed down to 2/2MBPS. Now it's going to take long time to download and interferes with other internet activities.

 

There's a version of Afterburner that works here: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/wi.../#post-5466942

 

Very fast this time for me. 40 min from start of D/L to Desktop.

 

How did you get that much space? I have 30GB orig plan plus 15GB camera roll.

 

That is where being in UK is great - broadband competition is so fierce that virtually all packages are unlimited and very cheap.

 

Updated overnight again so I don't know how long it took this time.

 

Downtown is only 12 clicks from my place but I have very limited options for internet comparing to center. This is 4G wireless I have as ISP, relatively fast but limited in DL size. This is first time the cut my speed down after 100GB, usually let me go to 120 - 150GB. Only other options for me are 5GHz WiFi and even slower cable with cable TV bundled up and a bad record with internet cutouts. To add insult to injury there's optical cable going right by my house but there's nobody to make an ISP and use it. There are some promises for next year or two. Some US company took over our largest ISP+ cable TV company. Just yesterday I received a letter from them with plans for greater expansion. Problem is that only about 50% of government is online and going off paper.
There are many small companies doing ISP but they are concentrated in city centers.

 

Here in Finland we get 300/50Mbit LTE with unlimited data. Fast and cheap considering we are talking mobile tech. They are already talking about Gbit speeds too and test has been done. *Smile

 

I believe Telenor is Finnish ? We have it here but are greatly falling behind other 3 large mobile providers. As matter of fact I had to switch from them because of lousy business practices.. They kept on changing plans and prices without notice or keeping with signed contract.

Yeah Scandinavian countries are great in this respect.

In US, they often only have one or two providers in a region, as their original telecoms systems were never fully integrated as US is so massive.

In Europe, most countries (each much smaller than US, coupled with a higher population density) had a single state telecom system infrastructure, and most have been privatised with normally quite strict rules encouraging competition, it means you can be anywhere in country practically - even in quite remote locations, but choose whatever provider you wish.

This is less true with 4G mobiles e.g. in UK all claim 95% coverage, but that is disengenous as it is 95% of population, not area, so out in the sticks, reception is often non-existent. Also, even in towns, you get lots of blackspots. So the 95% of population is a gross exaggeration - I would bet realistically it is around 70%!

 

The other computer is still playing Duracell rabbit, going and going and going and never getting there. 55%.
