Windows 10: The Next Chapter

Sjoe, the Metro Apps are getting massive.

Downloaded the Accuweather app again, as the one from the regular Store didn't want to work anymore, and it was 177MB! :eek:

BF4 played flawlessly last night. Using AMD drivers and Logitech software.

Mine was working flawlessly, then on Sunday morning it did an update and broke my AMD installation, apparently there was an update that was pushed out that was only meant for Microsoft but mistakenly went out to others as well. No matter what i tried last night my BF4 is broken, my Windows updates are also broken :cry:
 
Tried to install both 32-bit (on old Celeron laptop) and 64-bit (on PC) of the Windows 10 TP 9226, no luck. I guess the laptop is too old, but the error was something about attempt to write into read-only memory (sorry, don't remember exactly), and on the PC was an Exception error (again, don't remember exactly what the error was. Then automatically reverted both systems back to the Windows 7 installations currently running.

However, could the issue be that I loaded the iso with Daemon Tools, and ran the installation from there? Should I rather create a bootable flash drive or DVD?. That is the next step I am going to take, if that fails, then maybe a clean install?

My experience so far anyway.

I have downloaded the 9926 ISO and then burned a DVD and created a bootable USB flash drive.

Both worked 100% and installation was very fast.

Yep, that is my next step. For the laptop think I need a DVD, not sure if the BIOS can boot from a USB, must still check that. I know for a fact my PC does, it's how I've installed Ubuntu recently. I am starting to prefer bootable USB drives vs. DVD, if the system allows it, so much simpler!

Anyone have any issues add a network printer?

I search for it, doesn't find it. Configure it manually with IP, looks like it finds it, provide the drivers via "Have Disk" says it's going to add the printer, and then starts in an endless loop which ends with me giving up and no printer added.

Anyone else get this?

Nope both my network printers installed flawlessly, it even went by itself (windows 10) and downloaded the software for the samsung printer, not the driver but also the actual samsung software for using the printer.

My notebook will only boot from USB if the mode is CSM and not UEFI, which defeats the whole purpose, boot from DVD works fine.

Glad to say my laptop booted for USB (UEFI) no problem, and have successfully installed 9926. Will just create a 64-bit USB flash for my PC at home, and install that later.

Welcome to the new Microsoft! :)
 
Got high CPU usage since upgrading my XPS 15. Fans are spinning high continuously with an average of 40% to 55% CPU usage.

Main hogs are...
Host process for windows tasks
Service Host (Local System)
Microsoft Windows Search Filter

Sigh... Time to fiddle.
