New Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast+Skip Build 18999 (20H1) - Oct. 8 Insider

ROTARY said:

I suggest those who don not want any 'restart' or 'shutdown' issues to NOT install this Build.

Also after install seeing a yellow warning that WU 'Needs Attention' when a live WU check returns no result and all 'up to date', warning still there.

Rather pointless advice!

On basis nobody wants any such issues, then nobody would upgrade!!

All seasoned Tenforum Insiders always make an image backup first BEFORE upgrading JUST IN CASE.

Having the same problem...
I am so over this MS BS...

I suggest you should not be using Insider versions.

Calling it MS BS is definitely a case of PEBCAK BS.

IMPORTANT: As is normal with pre-release builds, these builds may contain bugs that might be painful for some. If you take this flight, you won’t be able to switch Slow or Release Preview rings without doing a clean-install on your PC.

Holy Cow. Note: remove all drives except primary "C" select it as the primary boot device, windows boot manager. Possible big problems otherwise.

windows sfc /scannow did not find any integrity violations. i don' t know how but, it worked after 1 complete failure to install and then one sucessful install after performing said Note: advice above.

Good luck adopters.

How do you resolve this --- strange, install is completed but this is what I get in Windows Update dialog box.

and then there is this?????

Or as warned some time back when the Technical Preview [now Insider Preview] was released to not use it on the only computer or a business/production computer.

I have the same messages. Winver shows 18999.1 and the watermark shows 18999.vb

Install went fine using WU in a little less than an hour. Winver shows 18999.1 and the watermark shows 18999.vb just like above. But checking version history it shows "Windows 10 Insider Preview 18999.1 (vb_release) Failed to install on ‎10/‎8/‎2019 - 0x80240017"

WEK

18999 it is... Took 39 minutes.

As of now I notice two things:-
1 - Background pictures slideshow only started +- 5 minutes later after reboot.
2 - Email client didn't started automatically, I had to start it manually.
