Windows 10: No Project Spartan in Build 10049

Hi there. I recently installed 10049, but Project Spartan is not there or isn't working. When I go to All Apps and search under P for Project Spartan, there is an icon. When I click on it, it puts a big picture of Project Spartan on the screen, but there is no Internet Browser loading. That big picture goes off after a few seconds. Meanwhile Internet Explorer is still on the taskbar as the Microsoft browser. I got 10049 by downloading updates on the Fast-ring. Any ideas? I do live in the US and thought it was available here with 10049.

:)

 

spartan does not open

Project Spartan does nor open all the time in Windows build 10130

A small window opens and then disappears after a few seconds

 

Edge won't stop loading. Blue spinning circle of death for days & days. What's going on with Microsoft Edge?

What is the "Project Spartan" homepage?

 

Probably something went wrong during the installation. Similar problem here:
Solved Updating to 10049 has become slower and for no apparent reason. - Windows 10 Forums .
An interesting read on how a new install differs from an upgrade in that matter:
Microsoft has released its new browser Spartan, heres what you need to know

I don't know if a reinstall of Spartan could help, or even if it's possible, but I would suggest also reading this tutorial:
ESD to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 ESD File - Windows 10 Forums
and think of a clean install.

 

Thanks, NickTh. I'll just wait for the next build and the problem just should be fixed then with that installation.

 

Chances are, your systems is basically hosed now. You will probably have to do a reinstall, although you may try using sfc /scannow to try and fix it.

 

Actually, it gradually fixed itself. Don't know how, but the 3rd time I tried, about 24 hours later, it finally loaded the browser. Now it's usable; it just hasn't replaced IE in the taskbar. But I can live with that. Windows 10 is definitely full of surprises... I had installed 10049 on another PC. The install went much faster, and it replaced IE as Microsoft's browser. Strange, how two PCs can act so different!
