    Upgraded and now i have no sound... Realtek HD audio .. did all the disabling, enabling, uninstalling, downloading of the latest drivers, nothing works... i have a Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0 .... 5.1 system.. if anyone found a solution give me a PM..
    I've had absolutely no problem with Realtek drivers. I have a z97 Gigabyte MB. MS even installed a Realtek driver that worked before I could get to installing the latest provided by Gigabyte.

    I wonder if Microsoft is forcing the new requirement that the insiders must have a Microsoft account associated with insider builds.
    Yes, they probably are. However, I have always used my Microsoft account, so that wasn't an issue.

    I am no longer an insider, so I can't test these things out. I didn't think build 10166 expires tell later this year.
    As far as I know, Build 10166 hasn't expired; it wasn't expired when I attempted the failed installation it on my laptop. In fact, it had been only a few days since its release.

    HippsieGypsie did you try associating a Microsoft account with the insider build then re-booting to see if it activates?
    groze, I haven't tried the 10166 method yet. Thanks for posting that.

    I'll see what MS says with a call back. They are extremely busy ATM.

    LOL, Wyn! Technical reasons perhaps?

    This activation problem is indeed a nightmare for some. Just talked to someone. She tried to tell me to wait a few days for it to activate. Ahh, no. It's been 11 days. It's not going to activate. The server is blocking the keys. > I'll have to transfer you. Please hold.

    Having activation problem since making a mistake fresh installing just after the upgrade from Build 10166 to Build 10240 just before GA date due to messing with OneDrive online. After that no full boot. Used a member's ISO made from ESD using the listed generic keys. It installed, but no activation. Reinstalled again after GA via Windows Media Creation Tool again to no avail. Same keys showed up. Just ran Coomand Prompt Admin slmgr /ato only to get result as seen below. It seems once one looses activation at least this way one cannot attain it again no matter what one does. The server records the keys with hardware. It seems once it's blocked one must call it in.

    I'm killing time on the phone as I type with MS customer service waiting for someone to speak with. 44 minutes and counting. I'll let all know how it goes.

    BTW I just want to remain an Insider. All settings are correct in that way.

    Did you originally do an upgrade install from 7 or 8.1? And was that install ever activated after the 29th? If no, you may have to reinstall your qualifying OS and do the free upgrade again.

    Only if it was on their script they're not supposed to vary from. :)
