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?

Read the article you linked.

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

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
