Glad it's not just me! :D

 

Though, the audio issues still remain - reading from the reports, a lot of people are experiencing it so hopefully a patch is issued sooner than later. Not that it really affects me when listening to music since I can still listen to 24/192 using ASIO.

I updated from 10130 to 10158 without any problem yesterday running in Hyper-V.

WU sees 10159 and says it's downloading, but it stays at 0%

Anybody else have this issue?

I tried restarting the VM but no luck so far

Ouch.

Funny thing, thought it was said that xp users couldn't get a free upgrade thru preview builds, when i ran winver on 10159 just now i saw: licensed to: [email protected]. Anyways on store icon being corrupted its not for me.

They can't.

Thanks for posting the links, worked great and got me out of a mess I had with build 10158....Cheers

In build 10158, multiple failures the longer it ran when I took it off local and went with my MS account. I have build 10159 running now, in local account and everything working so far. I will not change to MS account for a few weeks and see how this works...unless a newer build comes out and I'll change accounts....can't believe the damage I had switching accounts.....maybe I botched something, but all is well in local account for my "desktop" environment for Win32/64, audio great, video, torrent, multiple browser, visual studio, VMware....all good....so far...Cheers

 

Note....build 10158 jammed me in local account ( could not get it out of local account) when I switched back from MS account after a good verification. Windows asked if I wanted to use local after MS account verification done....strange. Ended up doing an ESD to ISO and upgraded from 10158 to 10159

 

Build 10159 has a new "express setting or use custom install" option (apps settings) when using the ISO for upgrade

They said that is wasn't an upgrade path for Windows XP users to the final relese and to stay there. If you continue to use the Windows Insider Preview you'll continue to be activated, no matter what OS you where using before, if any. But if you stick on the RTM build, it will deactivate avfter a while.

Updated to build 10159 this morning and my store won't open. When I was on 10158 everything worked except the photos app, after updating to 10159 the photos app DOES work but the store and OneNote won't open :(

Yeah I suppose the white color isn't a huge deal if they could make inactive windows more obvious, like a dark grey or even better transparent. I am using the dark theme in Edge and love it. I wish that would be an option system wide. I still don't like the idea of multiple themes going on. I like a unified OS.

 

?

 

I submitted feedback for exactly that. Let's wait and see.

I doubt they're accepting suggestions for the RTM anymore, any updates would be after RTM now and most likely some time after as well

Yah, I have to admit I'll never understand why companies keep doing that: images tend to be rectangular/square so it really doesn't make much sense for force content into a circle. Some joke about a square peg in a round hole would be appropriate at this point. :D

If you use W10M, the circular picture makes sense. You can't roll in a square.

And they roll!

 

Sigh, it sees the latest build but refuses to download for me. Still stuck at 0% :(

 

Go into services and stop the windows update service then run the disk cleanup utility (I put a check mark next to everything). Then start windows update backup and try the update again. Oddly that worked for me

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
