So you prefer this built of Win 10 to Win 8.1?  tongue.gif
*
for now, i cannot compare 10 tp to 8.1. there are still plenty of bugs here and there in 10. it's just too early to tell.

overall, i'm fine with 10. to me it's like MS is streamlining and simplifying everything.

maybe i should wait till it stable? or join the wagon?
*
If you wanna use it as main os, i suggest don't, although it's stable for common uaage. Tech previews are not meant for production use anyway. It's just feature showcase, and a tool to collect usage data mainly. As of now i mainly use it to check software compatibilities only.

You can always try this thing as vm.

spartan is metro app or desktop program?

it's like a metro app that run in a window. for now, it's really just a minimalist webpage reader.

I am trying to update to the lastest built 10049. But always facing error when download and trying to installing.

Anybody facing this?
*
what's the error message? I didn't apply the update downloaded from windows update. it detected that I run the os in vm so it didn't let the update run. so I copied the .esd and did fresh install from scratch.

I cant remember what is the error message..  tongue.gif

What is .esd file?
*
oh. nevermind smile.gif

.esd is the encrypted installer file.

you can decrypt it with tools into standard .wim, then use imagex to dump its contents into a blank partition/virtual disk. then you can use bootcd to add the virtual disk into boot menu.

worked fine here previously. upgraded to 10056 days ago.

the obvious: the power button finally moved close to start button.

cool..

how you upgrade to 10056?

I always press update button and there is no 10056 download also
*
actually i don't do upgrade via windows updates. i use w8.1 pro's built-in vm feature for testing. the upgrade will not run when it detects that the os is a vm.

i downloaded the untouched iso here, extract install.wim from the iso, then use imagex to dump the contents of that install.wim into a virtual disk.

no problem. just note that this is not the official public build, so it might contain more bugs. there were some buggy unofficial builds that i have skipped because of reported problems.

Upgraded to 10056 from 10051, pressing the apps (non metro apps) in start menu doesn't launch, only launches when search about it. Hmm

no such issues here. i have installed several desktop software and run them via start menu (click on 'all apps', then navigate and click on the software icon) i did a fresh install instead of upgrades.

what i found out was spartan at this stage is really terrible to navigate. it can stop responding in one tab (no response to mouse clicks), but if you quickly click on another tab and back to it, everything is fine again.

I think the upgrade produced some problems, I cannot run any desktop softwares via start menu (it comes out nothing) unless I type in the search bar and start from there.

Wait for next month's update then I'll start fresh.

yeah i think so. i am not sure why their upgrade path still screw up after all these years. (maybe they put very few efforts evaluating it hehe)

My win/start button does not work at all and the search bar also did not work. Since it's my principally gaming pc and I'm using the build to check what games work and what not I made it the main OS.

Any known fix ? Some guy suggested that only a clean reinstall can fix it.
*
never use a tech preview as main os :/ we all know it's full of bugs. using it as main os means your chances of stepping into one of them are much higher, and not many know how to fix it. (especially for gaming, even official windows versions we have crashes here and there, due to various reasons. I don't expect them to work fine magically in previews at this stage)

there is no guarantee that it will work, but you can try this: http://microsoft-news.com/facing-issues-wi...ng-these-steps/

I know but I'm listing which games work and which not and since there's nothing else really important I do with the pc then why not. smile.gif

One thing for sure until now I can't run Shogun 2, Rome Total War (haven't tested Medieval 2 though), Mount and Blade Warband and X-COM doesn't work for me. Luckily Skyrim, Rome II and Attila works fine.

I think my build is 10049 iirc. It works fine before but then yesterday when my kid was watching youtube my wife told me that suddenly the monitor went blank with 'no signal' or something and I thought maybe my GPU fried again.

However when I got home and replugged everything everything works fine, except that windows start button. Cause me a bit of a problem though since I'm just the one who don't like having icons on desktop. smile.gif
*
haha ok just do your thing then smile.gif

same here haha! i only have the recycle icon on my desktop. to access stuff i usually start with win key combo lol

i have read that after 10056 there are recent builds with huge jumps in build number. maybe there will be something worth to test after two weeks.

I find v10041 in need of several improvements still.

i find every build needs improvements lol

a heads-up: always keep the previews as updated as possible. old builds will fail to boot by the time it expired. (source)

thanks stasio. downloading the esd for the second time because the first one didn't decrypt :/

zellleonhart, check out the very first point in the bug list link posted by stasio. sounded familiar? i think i didn't get this because i used the x64 version of desktop apps.

edit: this one is good. decrypting biggrin.gif

you have found the x64 iso nice! i am doing wim dump so esd is good.

This 10061 build is buggy. It's better to run as vm fresh install only. (e.g. Settings can disappear in the middle of windows updates haha)

To cut the installation short, always do it offline.

Oh that's terrible :/ It looks like nvidia has better supports. Btw for testing it's better to use vm.
