Let us know if it solved your video problems. And I would recommend a clean install.

hiya, badrobot..:)

- yup, so far so good..
- had one of those "Display adapter stopped working.." messages earlier..
- reckon that has more to do with AMD than anything in this build (- I'll investigate that more fully, in due course..)
- just pleased that things have installed ok..

- all web-pages are loading correctly in both Edge and IE11, so no complaints there..

Hi guys,
can anybody help me? I am hopeless... I had 14295 installed and when I tried to update to 14316 and 32 it always ended up in BSOD cycle on boot. Now when 14342 was released I tried to update it, but it didn't even start to update when it finished downloading and propted to restart...
So I made up my mind and went into complete reinstall. I downloaded 14332 ISO, made USB, installed it and now I tried everything and I can't make my Windows Update to get the newest 14342.
I tried looking in registry, tried some changes. Nothing...
I tried to download Media Creation tool, then tried to update through that, but it didn't give me option to only update. Only complete reinstall and I didn't went for it, because I think it would install public release.
I tried to reset Windows update services via TechNet Reset Windows Update Agent, but didn't help.

Can anybody help me? I am positive that I should see the update, because I saw it few hours ago when trying to update from 14295.

Hi there. Welcome to Tenforums @biosek.

If you think 14342 had finished downloading but didn't proceed with the update, you may already have the "install.esd" file. Copy-paste this to a File Explorer window: C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources and look for the "install.esd" file and follow this tutorial to create an ISO for build 14342 and do a clean install: ESD to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 ESD File

It was another roller-coaster upgrade for me. The upgrade was completed but I got this on first boot:



But no biggies. I immediately found the culprit. I just boot up on my main 10586 OS and scanned my Insider SSD for errors and redo the upgrade via ISO (from ESD) and everything is okay now. Oh yeah, I could have done a clean install but I always wanna see first how an in-place upgrade goes.

You know, I've been in this business for over 35 years, and I've seen some strange twists and turns in the tech. But I never thought I'd see the day when one would download software and wait for it to hydrate, like Sea Monkeys or something... And yet, here we are! I can only wonder what other delights are yet to come!

Ah, so someone remembers Sea Monkeys, that you mail-ordered based on an ad you saw on the back page of your comic book Just add water! What a masterpiece of marketing. Evidently, they sold a LOT of Sea Monkeys. AKA brine shrimp.

Am I showing my age?
