Windows 10: Media Creation Tool

You are absolutely right! My apologies.
I am clean installing, right now, with the 10586.0 iso we scooped up earlier this week to see if it installs properly.

 

At least you Americans get the warning note at the end of the page.
We, the Canadians, get swat !
Any unsuspecting Canadians will get a big shock that, after 2 to 3 hours of downloading and installing, all they get is the one they already have.

 

The tool I downloaded last week was v 10.0.10586.0, signature dated 30 Oct 15. I can't get the resulting ISO to install on my laptop. The version offered today is v 10.0.10240.16480, signature dated 20 Aug 15.

Is this a mistake with the web site or has the previous version been pulled since so many people (like me) couldn't upgrade using last week's release?

 

I can hear the Microsoft folks now ''ooops'' !!

Makes you wonder about threshold 2, just how much it was actually tested, on the plus side though it's better they pull it and get it right before releasing it again.

Lots of people had a disastrous upgrade when using WU, I had to download the TH2 ISO myself after many failed updates. But pulling the ISO seems to indicate there are deeper problems.

 

Mine installed fine Edwin, from the ISO that is, the WU did not work for me just kept 'restoring the previous version''
Just a word of cation, if they have pulled the TH2 ISO, that could be an indication of more serious problems with the new build, may be worth hanging on at least until you know why it was pulled.

 

After all the problems I've had as discussed in https://www.tenforums.com/installatio...what-next.html, I'm going to wait a few weeks for all these problems to be ironed out before trying the upgrade again.

 

Clean install with bootable USB/10586.0 iso Everything seems fine.

 

Hi Edwin

Yes it installed fine from the ISO for me too, however as you know they have pulled all the ISO's which suggests there is a problem (perhaps not an obvious or easily patchable one)

The only few things I did notice are

1) Adverts appearing in start menu for apps (you can turn this off though
2) Defender right click context menu appeared, which if you use defender is great, but stays there even if you have another AV installed
3) to me the most serious, the privacy choices i made in 'customise' on install were completely ignored, had to reset them all once W10 was installed.
4) I have noticed a few glitches, though sometimes that just seems to happen on a new install

Good luck with your new install, I hope we are not all doing a fresh install again in a few days..lol

 

Hi guys,





I'm very confused with the reading of the Media Creation Tool! On the 19th I downloaded both the 32 bits and 64 bits Windows 10 Pro 1511 10586 .ISO's (Dutch & English). Why is the language of this tool US-UK?

Dutch Windows 10 Pro 1511 10586 .ISO





English Windows 10 Pro 1511 10586 .ISO




Does the 10240 mean you downloaded a previous (older) release of Windows 10 Pro?

Cheers

BTW: if I can be of any assistance, providing links to my OneDrive for the .ISO's just PM me! *Cool

 

Although (off-topic) your file explorer downloads where most likely selected as > English international from Techbench
the mct.exe is EN-US and was not used to download the files shown in your file explorer

 

I just did a clean install on a bare drive/new system yesterday using the TechBench download prior to it being downgraded to 10240. Everything installed and is working fine.

 

Thanks for your reply.

I think I downloaded the latest version Windows_10_Pro_x64_1511_10586_Dutch for upgrading my Windows 8.1 Pro x64

Cheers

 

do that on your English ISO's

 

Hi @Kyhi,

Here you go!

Cheers

 

it shows them as English US and so does the MCT.exe

so not sure, I now understand your question
