Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Slow Build 17074.1002 - Jan. 11

This is where Hyper-V is good as I mount the vhd on host pc as a drive and run uuptoiso from host which is much faster for me.

 

There is a bug when choosing to use small buttons in the taskbar:

 

"Your license will expire soon" problem is still there and thare's no Troubleshoot in Activation panel where it should be:



Maybe because I do have a digital license ?
Otherwise everything works fine.

 

As I suspected the issue is the VirtualBox WDDM driver. I disabled it and tried again and it upgraded with no issues. I am now reduced to a 4:3 world. I'll have a play after I have it all backed up.

 

I let it "percolate" over night and awoke to the PC stopped at a black screen with the Windows logo.

Eventually got it to revert to '63.

Luckily all the files were there to make an ISO and USB drive.

Clean installed. Up an running now.

 

Defender's 'action recommended' flag showing and got this,





Set Malwarebytes to ' never register' and all green. The link in Defender's Virus and threat protection to open MBAM didn't work and the warning flag still up.

Tried to post this originally in Edge but couldn't upload the image file for some reason.

On a reboot Defender's icon disappeared as described in 'known issues'.

 

Success! Kinda almost..

Up late do the update. Saw the workaround for the problem I had last build with it hanging at last boot before coming back, then rollback was only option. Have to disable "virtualization" in the BIOS, then it's all fat and happy! It's in the known issues, but not real clear and buried in there. Nasty unwelcome side effect...without virtualization enabled in BIOS, VMware gets rather sick. So I have to toggle the setting if I want to use VMware. And have to leave it off in BIOS while using Insider or it will hang on boot every time, not just the update issue, every boot. Seems to be the only downside I've found. So far....

 

Didn't know about the "virtualisation" tip.

Had to clean install.

Booting works for me in 17074.

 

Updated in the morning. All went fine, at start some app didn't show right, Edge was unresponsive, Mail wouldn't start....

Restart and some time given, and system recovered itself *Confused Maybe it's time for me to make a clean install ...

 

Probably not, as I'm not using Macrium but was having the same code 39 errors with my Logitech webcam and headset on 17063. That said, I haven't gotten 17074 to install properly, so I can't test on the new build yet to see if my issue is resolved. I may do a clean install of 17074 tomorrow though. If I do, I'll get back to you with my results.

 

Firefox sound WORKING !!!!
Sound panel in Settings has great new options but looks like it's not recognizing desktop programs. only for APPs.
Except for problems with activation, everything is working like well oiled Swiss watch, actually more like Cuckoo clock because of that problem. I even run some benchmarks and there's a small performance improvement, (may not happen to Intel owners).
That's quite an impressive list of bug fixes and new features in this build, well worth waiting for. Once update was downloaded it went super fast for me, 10 minutes at most !!!

 

tried mine earlier got an 0x8024200d error,. download failed another download required.

trying again.
been stuck on installing 8% 15mins+

Odd thing according to my installed updates 063 installed successfully twice*Confused

Well. I've got out of 4:3 land by turning on 3D again. The driver doesn't start but picks up the 1920x1080 definition. That's the way it worked on 17063. Looks like I'll have to remember to turn off 3D before the next build unless VB comes up with a fix.

 

well, the issue is not directly macrium, the issue is the lock on legacy kernel drivers set by default from 17063 onward so that those drivers are not loaded at boot. I'm not sure if it affects what is happening on my pc I'll try the suggestion in the article as soon as I get home from work.

 

Can't persuade Windows defender to show its icon in Taskbar… Anybody else?
