Windows 10: fbl impressive code 10049 windows update

Mmmmm, maybe; maybe not. Some folks want to push things to the limit, just to see if they can get away with it. And, as you say . . .

So why not push the envelop a bit. I would if I knew how, but I don't.

Not so, not so . . . I've been on many Microsoft betas and I can tell you Microsoft has always listened . . . they just haven't always done what we've told them we want. But for the most part, they do listen and follow through with the best practice.

Yeah, to an extent. However, why not: Here's how I tweaked it and this is the result of that tweak. Yes, there are quite a few experienced and skillful programmers within the Insider group who can get that type of job done.

 

my updates still on 0% since the update to 10041 build....someone can help me?

 

How are you connected to the internet?

 

The general wisdom is that a clean install avoids any corrupted code that may occur when overwriting files during one upgrade after another. Many a geek has sworn by Grabthar's Hammer that a clean install provides the best and fastest OS *Wink

 

Same problem with me, my download is at 10% after two days (truth be told, I tinker with WinX very little and only run it about a hour everyday, so its not a fair evaluation), but left it on all last night to speed the 10049 download and got nowhere fast *Sad There must be a awful big demand on Redmonds servers for that new Spartan browser!

You are missing the point, the title of this O/S is Evaluation.
You are using this O/S purely for your own benefit, toys for the boys or girls come to mind.
Perhaps a mixture of boredom or curiosity may have influenced you, but are of no benefit to M$ in the development of this O/S.

 

I'm not suggesting anybody do it, just stating that people do it. Sometimes a simple reg edit will get you a feature from the earlier build that you liked, versus a feature they changed that you don't like. You do it, then forget you did it, then wonder why you can't upgrade to the next build. For example, If I could easily switch to the Windows 8.1 Start Screen versus the current hybrid Start Screen/menu I would. So would others. It happens. There are other things that can cause issues, programs you've installed, drivers you've upgraded. Granted, going from one version of Windows 10 to another shouldn't be that big a deal. not like upgrading from Windows 8.1 to 10 would be. Me personally, I prefer a clean install when ever possible.

 

Ever since Windows for Workgroups 3.11 I have done clean installs when a new OS was released.
With Vista (after Win7 was released) I found that I could update a clean install of Vista to Win7 - but could not when trying to update my well-used version of Vista (this was on a Lenovo x61t tablet).

My Win8.1 install was an update from Win8 - and I had to fight with my Samsung laptop for over 4 months in order to get it to install.

I intend to try to install Win10 on top of my 8.1 today (after backing it up to my ext HDD and my WD MyCloud device)
I will do a clean install at RTM, but need to immerse myself in the OS prior to it's release (so I'm prepared to help others when it is released).

As for why I'm doing an update rather than a clean install right now, it's basically for 2 reasons:
1) To see how the update process works when going from 8.1 to 10
2) Because I'm lazy and I have many programs to install, and a customized program (for BSOD analysis) that will take some research and a couple of hours to install.

 

wi-fi connection....but since i update to build 10041 its impossible to perform updates....

 

I re installed 10041 and then tried to update to 10049 and got this error??





Any Ideas?

 

I've had a similar problem (it's a different error code) and I've followed
this guide and I solved it.
Hope that helps.

 

The last 2 builds are online upgrades. It is not just an update. You are trying to download about 3GB of data and your wireless connection can't cope with it. Connect to the internet via ethernet cable (wired). That will give you faster connection.

 

The previous upgrade 10041 update normally on my connection. The problem is not that. Is something with this build on my computer. After reqeust the update the windows found the new updates but the download did not start, i was monitoring the nwtwork status and nothing is beeing transfered.

 

10041 I think is a much lighter update than 10049.
10049 is definitely a new installation. There's no harm using wired connection. Just try it out. It doesn't cost anything (unless you need to buy an ethernet cable first *Smile )

 

Okay...i will try....i will use a cable on my router....reverting with news.....thank you.
