Windows 10: fbl impressive code 10049 windows update

Hahaha... just like what your short biography said.. "slightly off center"... *Smile

 

I've had issues with upgrades since the Vista days - but only with systems that have been used for a while.
Installation went quickly this morning without any drama - just how I like it! :0)

 

I'll take a clean install over an upgrade install any month with a week in it.

 

The last upgrade I did in VMWare (9926 to 10041) wiped out my mapped network drives and I couldn't get them back. I'll be imaging my VM drive before upgrading.

 

Finally





It was na update over a fresh 10041 install...

*Smile

 

Started with 9926, updated to 10041 and now 10049 without problems.
Spartan is quite interesting.

On its way...

 

Hehehehe, I already knew that because the ISO will only come with the Slow Ring. *Smile

BTW, I downloaded and installed the ISO when it was released and Windows Update was changed to Slow Ring. There must be something that alerts the "script" that I changed from Fast Ring to Slow Ring.

Edit: So I changed it back to Fast Ring and 10049 was offered up!

 

Whew! I were aginnin' to thank I were in da vastness of minority thar fer a bit! *Smile

If there's anything really nasty in the "original" chances are that it will be brought forward with the "update".

 

Why?

 

Read some posts here and you'll see a pattern. Several people posted having issues after doing and upgrade install. When they did a clean install, no such issues. Some weren't able to do the upgrade install at all. Plus, if you've tweaked your system with unofficial mods or reg entries it can cause issues. If I can do a clean install I will. I don't mind taking the time to do it.

 

I normally just do the update. If I want to keep my current OS or if I'm having a problem I'll do a clean install. I just did a clean install of build 10041 because I was trying a few things and broke the install of 10041 I was using by using system Restore. If I knew a new build was that close to being released I would have waited and done a clean install of 10049.

 

I normally do clean install too on each build. But on the last 2 builds you have to do online upgrade first before getting access to ISO(self made) so I just hold off the clean installation until I notice significant issues. I almost clean installed 10041 the other day but good thing I didn't cuz 10049 came out the next day (yesterday) which I have the ISO ready too.

 

Is it not somewhat counterproductive to tweak unofficial mods and the registry.?
This system is after all only a technical preview evaluation with M$ for the first time listening to users.
Better to suggest ways of improving the present concept, or helping to sort out any bugs in this latest update.

 

I've had a problem with Build 10041 getting onto the Internet. When I gave feedback, there were numerous feedback posts saying IE wasn't working right and also that there's a problem getting to the Internet. I mean a whole bunch of 'em!

Depending on what the problem actually is with Build 10041, it could be that the Update didn't cure it because I'm still having real problems getting onto the Internet. So, a clean install is in order, if for no other reason than to eliminate the update's failure to cure the problem.

Several folks have had problems with the Start Menu not working and in at least one instance, the problem is still there in Build 10049. Again, if for no other reason . . .
