    Sometimes RD Windows.old /s in an elevated command prompt does it. You have to navigate to the root first. If that doesn't work and you need to do it offline. I use the Macrium Reflect recovery disk which has a command prompt you can use to issue the RD command.

    Edit: Thanks.

    Easiest way is to delete them by booting from a live linux or Macrium Reflect drive.

    17120 installed "ok" meaning it went pretty fast until 98% and just "hung" there. I gave up after 1/2 hr and had dinner and watched the news came back and the login was waiting for me. Phew! At the moment, everything seems normal.

    Yeah, this happened to me as well, along with another person on here and a few people on Reddit. Hopefully someone at MS is paying attention and it gets patched up next build.

    Also, has anyone else recently had issues with graphics cards not initializing after updates? The past three insider preview builds including this one, I have had to wait until my PC made its "I'm here" noise, give it another 10 minutes or so to ensure it's completed boot operations, then manually power off and back on to get my video back. I'm using an older AMD/ATI Fire GL card, with DVI and DP connectors with HDMI adapters, but still, seems it should pretty much just work. Worked before the past few builds, at any rate.

  11. Yep! I fully agree!

    2 things M$ does not seem to take seriously:

    • BT
    • USB


    While USB works somewhat reliable, it still has some way to go. BT, well, yeah...it simply does not work reliably.

    To fix Bluetooth problems M$ in their wisdom have added an option....see attachment....it states incorrectly paired when it is patently not...click on to reveal option to connect.

    This works but in my opinion is a bloody stupid idea...imagine the average computer user trying to solve this let alone many experienced operators in this forum having already experienced BT problems.
