Windows 10: Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17101 Fast + 17604 Skip Ahead Feb. 14

I'm confused again. *Smile My laptop is on the Active Development Fast Ring and It's downloading Build 17604. My desktop is on the Skippy Fast Ring and it's downloading Build 17604. Is Active Fast and Skippy Fast the same ring?

 

First 17604 ISO made:

Thanks but what I'm saying is they are set to different rings but downloading the same build. The laptop is a fresh install and I didn't do the reg hack to join the Skippy Ring.

 

I'm going to restart my laptop. Be back in a little. *Smile

 

Just used uupdump and uup-converter-winlib-v14, and it fell over at last hurdle :-(.

 

I had no issues.

 

I'm back. I don't know what MS fixed but installing this build was smoking fast.

 

I shall try again.

 

Downloading both —- weeeeeeee!

Downloading both - 3 of 17101 and 1 of 17604.

 

All good. 53min from D/L to desktop. The actual updating phase was pretty quick. Now to read all the spiel!

 

Failed again - it seems to be failing at creating iso. All the files are in isofolder so I could create iso with imgburn I think.

However uuptoiso has worked but still needs to run setup.exe from command prompt to work.

It is installing fine now.

 

Using the .ZIP Kari posted, made .ISO, and then installed on my desktop.

In settings, opening Power Settings from Win-X no longer shows blanks in the settings for turning off monitors, going to sleep. And the new stylized side bar in Settings is nicer than before as well.

 

Using UUP Dump to grab the 17101 files, and then I'm gonna grab the 17093 files again to make a proper .ISO of that build.

 

3 Updates From left to right

VMware ESXi VM updating to 1701
Physical Machine updating to 17604
Hyper-V VM updating to 17604



I guess the appearance of the ` $WINDOWS.~BT folder was a harbinger of the RS5 updates.
