Windows 10: Windows 10 build 10041: Known Issues

I'm seriously considering ISO clean install. This one via "update" is getting weirdly buggy! Like an in-place-upgrade, if you have any critters in the closet, they may decide to tag along! I made ISO from ESD, so I may just do that. If it crashes, the real ISO will be out in a week or so. Thanks for the reply. *Wink

 

I switched to tablet mode on PC. It won't go back to desktop and got stuck in tablet mode even after toggling tablet mode off. I had to reboot to get out of it.

 

My issues with Build 10041:

One of my games had a CRC error. Never bothered to look for solutions online. Twas an old game anyway.
File explorer window does not memorize its position on the screen. Each time I close and open it it's in another position. Anyone experiencing this? Any solution?

I tried to install Classic Shell v4.04 but it shows incompatibility issues. Anyone else?


TIA

 

I don't have any "critters in the closet", so updating my Win8.1 through the various 10 updates has worked perfectly. 9926 was relatively bug-free IME, but 10041 has already shown some.

I always used to clean-install, and spend a week reinstalling all my stuff, but now that MS seems to have refined the 'update' process, I'll be glad to see the back of clean-installs.

You need 4.20. here: Classic Shell View topic - Classic Shell 4.2.0 beta with Windows 10 support Cheers! *Cool

 

Recommended!
I did both the update and a clean install. No doubt at all, reading the posts, that the clean install is the way to go. It leaves all the inherited garbage behind.

 

Hi there

Update gave me hideous bugs -- made ISO and installed CLEAN -- I wiped the C partition clean first so there was nothing left of a previous windows installation -- so I know it's a 100% clean install.

The ISO can be copied to a BOOTABLE USB drive via RUFUS v2.0 (free) if you don't want to burn a physical disc or don't have any drives. I installed from a bootable USB myself -- no probs whatsoever.

Worked much better - although like all these releases some things are still broken -- that's normal.

Note SOUND also seems to have an issue in a lot of cases. Reverting back the driver (via ROLL back driver in the device manager) to the Ms HD audio rather than a specific OEM one that windows might find often fixes this too. Do the roll back AFTER you've re-booted the windows system -i.e after windows has found an OEM driver and installed it.

The Sound issue also appeared during the lifetime of build 9926 after the last set of updates.

Just installed now over 9926, had a bit of fight to install Realtek audio drivers. Now first bug I found, it doesn't show Hidden icons from Taskbar. Drivers for GPU are replaced by ones from MS but successfully installed AMD 14.12 drivers over it. Also (again) wrong drivers for TV card, got to replace those ones again. Otherwise as far as I can tell, all other settings stayed as they were.

 

Hi there

My VIA audio drivers broke the audio -- strange thing was Windows sounds worked but no applications would play any sounds !! -- even though the graphic equalisers were showing sound working !!!!. (Same problem on build 9926). Using an ASUS Mobo for the builds.

Reverting to the Ms default HD audio fixed my problem.

Hidden Icons on taskbar is a known bug -- a get around is to set system icons to ALWAYS display on the taskbar. I need some of these - for example my audio and video servers and of course the icon to safely eject external devices. You can BREAK file systems if you just unplug a USB drive without quiescing it first via Remove hardware.

Still not showing anything but MS programs, no CCC, no Realtek, nothing that's not MS.

 

Hi there

Sorry then - can't help any more !!!!. It definitely seems Audio is broken for a lot of people on the latest two builds.


Cheers

Mike, did you get this update? I did early this a.m

 

Nope, no mention of Realtek anywhere, just like it didn't exist. Look here: No sound in 10041 - Windows 10 Forums for the way I fixed it.

 

Maybe Simon & Garfunkel are from Canada! *Haha

 

Sound of Silence is a sound too but it's all Bridge Over Troubled Waters now.

Few more things, one more or less positive, Cortana shoved up, have to test it yet.
Deffender icon on taskbar shows: "PC status potentially unprotected" but WD works and is active. Don't have any other AV right now.
Another edit:
Upgrade ruined my dual boot setup, now starts from HDD TP is on, not SSD where 8.1 is, gonna have to fix that manually (again), should have disconnected other drives first. OK. "EasyBCD" = easy fix, all back to old boot again. Now to the hunt for more boo-boos.
Another one is that AMD control panel doesn't work now, it may be due to that it uses .net 4.51 and TP has 4.6. Those .net sem to lose backward compatibility all the time.
