does anyone else get these errors? sfc gets stuck at 19% and stops and personalization crashes.

Yes, Personalization crashing was mentioned in the release notes for this Insider build.  It's not unique to the Personalization page - that same crash happens elsewhere in Settings.

edit: And this is now fixed in the current Insider build.

It is way better than 14936 the sfc issue in not listed as a known.

well yes sfc does work...but i see task manager does not remain maximized and probably as many already noticed there's more consumed RAM. for me it increased by 30-40%

Task Manager remains maximized for me. Cortana uses all of the memory. If you do not use it turn it off.

Windows 10 Build 14942 might increase RAM usage for some users

 

I just saw this thought you would be interested.

From what I've read, the only time it'll use more ram and ungroup service hosts is if you're on a system with more than 3.5GB (4GB) of RAM.     I've got 16GB in my PCs and I always hover around 40-50% used, with the rest sitting there and mostly being used when I play games.    With how cheap it is and how much more and more of us have in our systems, I think it's great that they're going to ungroup service hosts and give us that added benefits such a move brings.   If that means the OS will use another 2GB of ram than before doesn't bother me, at some point down the line I can just upgrade and add more, the mobo is good up to 64GB.

I have 24GB so it does not bother me either.:)

When I was using 14936 I had about 62 services running. Now with 14942 , I have 117 services. No wonder users are having memory issues..Why so many services?

Because prior to 14942 you also had +117 services, many of them where just listed as 1 single service.

I know, they just separated them out to make it look like it would equal the memory usage. It is done with Mirrors..:)

I'm on the Slow ring, and I have a weird problem since updating to the latest version - the Photos app opens randomly and I don't have the slightest clue why. Am I the only one with this issue?!

If the slow ring is 14965 or 14971 then that is a known issue.

Yeap, 14965. Any fix?

They say to minimize the open windows then close them but I found that to be BS. If I were you I would switch to the fast ring and get build 14986, it is stable and does not have magical windows..

15002 just outright refuses to install on my tablet. It keeps rolling back and is getting annoying. Anything worth checking?

 

I would probably wait for the preview release. if that's a production machine, no need to mess with that

    • Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature

      By +samw61 · Posted

      This is needed! Good to see them working on it. My solution up until now at work is to hide all MY folders, showing only the shortcuts, but linking my personal folders to the corresponding Libraries. Having this exposed in the Navigation pane of File Explorer means that I have easy nested access to my stuff, as well as all the shortcuts under the OneDrive folder when needed, often open as I only have about 10 or so linked sources.
