Busy Week Ahead: Win 10 TH2 to Launch Tomorrow, New Mobile Build also
-
OK. Thankyou for that info. I'll have the
comfort of knowing that basic browser (Edge) features we still won't have, would have worked really SMOOOTHLY if MicroSoftBrain had incorporated them into this significant update in smoothness. Great...
Microsoft has been up front about the early stage of Edge. For the past three months they have been focusing on refining the rollout version of Windows 10 at the end of July (Threshold 1). This release (Threshold 2) is not a new feature rollout but rather is finishing-work on what was rolled out in July. Now Restone begins, which will be much richer in new features, including the new features in Edge that are needed to bring Edge to a state where it can compete well with popular browsers. Windows is now a service and the days of Big Bang rollouts and service packs is over. Everything from here on will be incremental.

Im not a insider but I have not seen all that many updates yet since upgrading from 8.1 to 10.

What you have seen are the cumulative updates. These contain hundreds of fixes but not many feature changes.

I for one am looking forward to this Threshold release and can't wait to see what it offers. Hopefully one of the "additions" is the ability to hide/deny driver installs, though I know that may be wishful thinking. Still....
You can turn off driver updates in the Insider build 10586 th2 (and it actually works now ) at Control Panel > System > Advanced systems setting > System Properties > HDWE > Device Installation Settings > select [ no your device may not work as expected ] . That same revision to advanced System Settings will probably be in the RTM th2 public update aka 10586 th2 maybe via cumulative updates instead of downloading an installer this week if they don't put a simple toggle in the settings UI app. Right now in 10586 th2 it looks like like this :
We Should see this ^^^ or a simple settings toggle in the th2 general release update to RTM maybe this week more likely this ^^^^ and not something as easy as a settings > on/off toggle though ☻

Right Edge is working much better than previously but still needs work ofc. 10586 th2 is decently stable *here so if this is any indication the gen release should go well or at least better for some than RTM I'm hoping .
I'm looking forward to the Redstone test builds soon . I have 2 other PC's that are on RTM now along with the other half of this daily driver dual booter .

Looking forward to the Redstone builds on the fast ring . ☺

Please, I appreciate the help, but I've stated a few times that that option does not work for me. I'm not running the Insider Program, but the regular RTM version. And YES, I've had (still do) those setting set on both my desktop and laptop, but still got video card driver updates.
Thanks.

What about the Media creation tool? Will it download Threshold 2 tomorrow?
That's usually tied to release of ISO.

I can't wait until tomorrow, (the 11th my time) for TH2. :)

I do believe the way it normally goes is, Insider build ISO's get updated when new build gets released to slow ring. And the Media Creation Tool gets updated when a major update/upgrade is released to the consumer build. In this case both are likely going to be updated, eventually. New ISO's will show up on MSDN too.
