Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10166 Insider

I've seen that too, intermittently.
I wonder why it chose Washington, DC?

I wonder why it chose Washington, DC?
I don't know, I think that's what mine showed, not 10% sure though. I know it wasn't what I set it to and as soon as I opened the weather app it went back to my location without me doing anything. maybe because that's the US Capital and your set as being in the US? I'll have to go look over my settings to see if they were reset. I had my Region > Location set to Canada
EDIT: Mine still shows Location as Canada, so that was carried over during the upgrade. I know I did have to change the weather App home location the first time I used it after the upgrade. Then every once in a while it shows the wrong location in the live tile. I think it was showing Washington.

New installs do, updates don't.
I clean installed 10166 from an ISO built from the install.esd.
Whilst it looked for the product key twice, I skipped both screens. When I checked the Activation page in settings it showed Windows is activated.

I did drag the bottom down to resize it to completely expose all the fields.
Thanks. I learned something new. Didn't know those types of modern boxes could be dragged to expand. Here's the first one also.

Is anyone still able to open .jpg files and .png files using Windows Photo Viewer on this latest build? I just did a clean install to 10166 and it is not letting me, says this APP cannot be run on this PC. I can only use photos app to open .jpg and .png files. What is going on?? Can someone help me out here? I want to use Windows Photo Viewer to view my pictures but its not letting me, anyone???
I did a upgrade install and it's working for me.

I did an upgrade from 10162 to 10166 and still had the problem with the HP Beats not functioning, I'm sure the upgrade carried over the audio driver. As the norm, for me, I went and did a clean install of 10166 and lo and behold there was a new audio driver installed and the HP Beats is now working as it should. I going to use 10166 exclusively for the time being, of course my win 8.1 is on a separate drive for safekeeping...you never know. Still not a fan of the mail app, needs the ability to arrange different views. Edge seems pretty nice, still needs some work with the handling of favorites, not sure if the localhost issue has been fixed.

I have an anomaly that I don't understand . . .
Both my Microsoft Solitaire Collection and Calculator icons intermittently go from the icon to the blank piece of paper in my Quick Launch Bar.
Once the icon changes to paper, nothing I do will restore it to its regular icon; however, it seems that if I reboot, I can once more set the icon on the Quick Launch Bar. At some point, it changes itself back to paper, but will never back to its regular icon!
Edit: I can pin the icon to the task bar and it shows correctly. So once more I try to pin to Quick Launch and I'm back to a piece of paper!

I had some tiles with no icons show up after upgrading to 10158 I think? It was one of the last couple of builds. I just unpinned them from the Start Menu and repined them. Hasn't happened again since. They were shortcuts to my documents, pictures, videos etc.

It's probably you used your MSA with Insider Preview registered!

We'll see if it carries over to Lappy 17; I just booted her up and am allowing her to update now.
