Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14352 Insider
-
Yes, finally with option 4 (Recovery Drive, created on another machine).
- Options 1 & 2 not available because I cannot boot to Windows
- Option 3 not available because I do not get a boot menu (single boot machine)
- Option 5 not available because the Repair option / page where to choose either Install or Repair is totally missing when booting with install media of 14352
- Option 6 not available even after 12 hard resets'
Could someone please confirm that boot from 14352 install media does not show this page / dialog:

I didn't have that either. My media (made using esd to iso tool) starts with " Starting setup" .

Yes. It doesn't appear for me either (ISO made from esd download).
I can't remember when it disappeared but it always has been there in the past. Even recently I think but I could not honestly tell you when it went.
I'd still stick with the Shift+F10 at install but I know you know that.

Doesn't show up when booting from 14532. Last one I had which did was the MS ISO 14332.

I created a bootable USB from the 14352 ESD and upon boot up I still have the Repair your computer option.

Strange. I just tested both 14342 and 14352 ISO images. The 14342 has that page / option, 14352 not. Both ISO images created with same tool.

I used the following tool: Thanks to abbodi1406 over at MDL forum.

14352 ESD came from Windows Update when I installed 14352.
I cannot image how any of this could make any difference. You are right this is indeed strange.

One more data point: I just now made a USB from a 14352 ISO made by ESDtoISO, and DID have the 'Repair this computer' option upon booting it up.

One thought. All of the rest (except Kari) have bootable drives in your PCs. How can Windows repair something that it doesn't see.
Or Windows setup just isn't capable of it.
Kari tray to repair with more powerful tool (Macrium cames to mind).
Edit: forget this, just saw, that older build can see installation.

OK, I found the culprit. The ISO had a minor fault, Windows installed from it is working but the WinPE repair console is missing.
I noticed that using my install ISO, a command prompt flashed fast just before showing the input language and time / currency formats dialog. I had to capture the boot on a vm to video, then freeze the video to be able to, have enough time to read the message shown in this command prompt:
Further, after the command prompt the dialog was shown with wrong background colour, white:
Inspecting this a bit more, the two missing files are parts of the WinPE repair console. However, I have Windows installed using this ISO on three machines, all of them working perfectly except the one I today managed to screw up the EFI system partition (long story...). In other words this ISO although missing the repair console had no other flaws, Windows installed from it works perfectly
Anyway, I used the same ESD file and re-made the ISO now and did a test install on Hyper-V vm using the new ISO. This time the dialog background colour is blue as it should be, and the repair options is there:
(Compare the dialog blue background to screenshot above with with background.)
