*scratches head* ok I still can't get the builds to show up on WU on multiple systems now..... no idea what I am doing wrong or what is wrong... I'm signing in with my MSA and in the insider program..... tried it with x86 and x64, tried it virtualized and physical.... it just will not show up ugh... :(

 

Same here, looks like the 5 June updates have failed to install as well which could be why the update isn't appearing. Check your update history.

Is there anyone here who is also having an issue with their weather tile not updating?  It worked initially when I upgraded to 10159 but after a second restart, the tile doesn't update anymore.  I've tried resizing the tile and turning the live tile on and off with no success.  I've already left feedback for this issue but I was curious if anyone else ran into this.

I can no longer access the Feedback app  :( I'm still an insider and am connected to the internet.

 

I'm on build 10130 if it matters.

As of 10158, you have to add the insider app back in, go to add features and you'll see the Insider app, just add it back in, it's because it's not going to be part of the default install so they're getting ready for RTM by removing insider features by default.

Is there any news on native subtitle support with the Movies & TV app? I tried to drap and drop a .srt subtitle while playing a video and it doesn't work.

 

Subtitle support should be there but I don't think drag & dropping it works, might have to just have it in the same location and named the same as the video so it can autoload it, that's what I always do with my videos.

Do you have any failing Windows updates? A failing update was the cause of my pain at the beginning of the week.

For some reason, my Windows Feedback app lets me send new feedback but isn't connecting to the search results so I can't upvote anything.

 

EDIT: For the first time, I'm genuinely scared that RTM is going to be buggy. I've found a lot of minor bugs in build 10159, and we're really close to the date where it all has to be perfect. I pray that they get it right.

I've gone back to build 10130. 10158 (and 10159) wouldn't pick up my laptops wireless card correctly

Might want to try the ISO files I listed on the previous page using the serial number I listed, there has been a few problems with the upgrade from 10130. (Although Microsoft would prefer us to upgrade as that's how Windows 7/8 users will be getting Windows 10 but it's not working great)

nope, everything is installed and its telling me no updates are available right now

 

and honestly, this update system is horrible... the whole install it all thing is annoying as heck, at least the old update system you could pick and choose updates..

Have you tried running a repair on WU?

Worst thing is, this is the route Microsoft will be providing for Windows 7/8 users. I'm guessing we'll see a slew of updates in the coming weeks with very little changes just to check the update system.

Out of interest considering this newest build must be quite close to final, are we going to be able to install to final or will it have to be a clean install?

yes you will be able to upgrade to RTM from the Insiders Preview

I also do not have a "fix" button in 10130 in WU Advanced settings.. I still am getting "choose how preview builds are installed" instead of "Get Insider Builds" why am I seeing the old option?

Looks like 10130 installed from ISO won't update. Probably something broken in WU settings.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time by Sayan Sen Memory prices have been through the roof for a while, though it seems like things might finally be getting better. If you are in the market for one, then grab this Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000 CL36 kit with RGB for a low price of just $340 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The kit is compatible with both AMD and Intel systems as it supports both EXPO and XMP overclocking profiles, respectively. 6000 MT/s is often the sweet spot for many systems as it provides ample data transfer speed while still being on Gear 1 mode. This Vengeance variant has RGB so if you love bright setups with such lighting, this is a win-win for you. The technical specifications of the Corsair Vengeance memory kit are given in the table below: Specification Value Memory Type DDR5 Memory Size (Total) 32GB Kit Configuration 2 × 16GB Form Factor UDIMM (Desktop) Pin Count 288-pin Speed (Data Rate) 6000 MT/s Speed Rating PC5-48000 Tested CAS Latency 38-44-44-96 Voltage (Tested) 1.35V Performance Profile AMD EXPO & Intel XMP Heat Spreader Aluminum heatspreader Cooling Type Passive (Heatsink) Lighting Ten Zone RGB Software Support Corsair iCUE Get it at the link below: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6000 CL38 – Gray (CMH32GX5M1E6000Z38): $339.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US, Fulfilled by Amazon US) This Woot deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
