    Oops!
    You're on Build 9926?

    They're in Administrative Tools then, or

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows System

    Yeah. I'm still on 9926. I plan to upgrade as soon as I get the start menu to work. Till then I (think I) can't access windows update.
    Anyway, even as admin I get the same red lines.

    Hmmm..., maybe you have to try sfc /scannow or

    DISM Restore Health or

    maybe a clean install is in order!?

    I can't find a proper link for DISM right now;

    and I just noticed W10 'hosed' another hard drive on me! *Sad

    I gotta go find it! Film at 11! *Smile

    Maybe someone else can step in on this one.

    Back in a bit.

    It used to get stuck at 1%. After doing it a few times and restarting every time after that, now it gets stuck an 3%.
    But what's better, is that it works. Apparently, it's fixed, so I'll just go ahead and upgrade. Thanks man !

    PS: What do you mean by "'hosed' another hard drive" ?

    Sure. You can also make an ISO from the ESD it downloads later if you want it for some reason.

    Hard Drives disappearing left and right! I got it back! *Smile

    I'm with adamf , download the iso and do a clean install, you'll probably have less problems.

    Thanks for the assist adamf ! *Smile

    Well I'm not really in the mood of re-installing all the drivers and programs I have again, so I'll go for the update. Also, I don't really mind problems as long as you guys don't mind helping me solve them.
    In fact, it's a Technical Preview. It's supposed to be buggy. *Smile
