Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17083 for PC Fast+Skip Insider

I see there is no live coverage of the bug bash, but there will be a few podcasts via mixer.



Don't forget to practice your ninja bug bash moves as seen here:

No new build today, but Microsoft kicks off the only Bug Bash for the Redstone 4 release | On MSFT

And at the end of the video here:

Windows Insider Creators Update February Bug Bash #winbugbash - Windows 10 Forums

OK, so I spent the last couple of week(ends) really getting everything together in a 1709 build, including adding all of my hardware and getting all the drivers just right, not to mention most of my apps installed (I say most, because I didn't spend the time installing every game that I might have a chance to play in the next 6 months - those settings never vary anyway, so it's easy to reinstall them on demand).

Last night I let Macrium make a full image of both my System drive (1 TB SSD) as well as my Users drive (256 GB SSD).

Today, I finally joined the computer back to the Insider program, downloaded 83, made an .ISO, and then let it reboot to install.

Upon logging back in, I opened snappy driver installer to check to see which, if any, drivers had reverted - and my system restore shows as being turned off in in SDI.

Sure enough, I opened System Properties dialog, System Protection tab, and it is turned off for all drives (which, normally, is off for all drives except the System drive).

Anyone else see / notice this upon install of 83 / any Insider build?

Yes, that's been happening for long time now, Before that it was turned off even for C: after every insider build.

Yeah, c is what I was referring to as system drive.

Never noticed it before. Odd.

Yep. In fact, some have told us it's impractical for System Restore to be turned on with an update. That it would just mess things up. And nope, I don't have links to those posts, since System Restore is going to be turned off no matter what.

Interesting.

Maybe that is why I kept having to reinstall so much in December.... Although Ethernet I tried to use System Restore then, it was always enabled....

is there a 3rd party app that provides similar functionality to timeline?

I think there is, but I don't know anything about it. I've just seen someone refer to it.
