  1. Unable to open Windows update settings directly anymore


    Notice that today, when I tried to open Windows update settings to check for the new preview build, it failed with the following error message:

    What was odd is that the file path it was attempting began as follows:
    Win10TP is installed on "C", not on "D". Windows8 Pro is installed on "D" (when Win10TP is running).

    That said, if I open PC Settings from the start menu, and then open Update and Recovery, I can get to the Windows Update settings without any problems, and also to the Preview Builds.

    I already ran sfc /scannow to see if it would detect any problems, and it ran to 100% without problems.

    It appears that something is set wrong, to send it to "D" for AppData -- but I have no idea how to fix that.

    BTW, I updated to TP build 9879 and still have the same problem with accessing windows update settings directly.

    :)

  4. Unable to open Windows update settings directly anymore

    Hi,
    I'm pretty much convinced that installing win-10 as a vm is the best way to deal with all of the potential bugs *Wink
    I believe it's a bit easier to get rid of and re-install for the new builds too :/
    Cheers.
