So, what does the "Status" column on the first tab in Task Manager look like now given the release notes? I hope they cleaned up the ridiculous mention of "Suspended" for every single task (preceded by a number).

Looks blank on my install.

That "ridiculous" number of suspended tasks is in fact quite useful information. If it shows "0 suspended", it means that none of the sub-processes is suspended, in other words that the process and all its sub-processes are active and working.

An example:

For me at this moment, Task Manager is showing Cortana having a suspended process:

That is because at the moment I am not using Cortana. Runtime Broker is a process required to be "live" all the time for Cortana to function, therefore it is not suspended.

And the point of having it before all Win32 programs too is what? Why not just have nothing on that line for its Status, like it always used to be? Win32 apps can't be suspended.

Now create ISO before I click "Restart now"

Crashed my insider VM at 80% installing. Restarted and back to 25%. We'll see how it goes this time.

Update went fast and smooth.

Strange. I had a notification once installation was complete that Homegroup had been removed. Yet my Homegroup on that system still works the same as it always did. Anybody else get that notification?

It's been one hour and 5 minutes since I hit Setup on the ISO. It's still spinning at 62% complete.

No, but I read somewhere MS is wanting to do away with Homegroup and use Network Shares, or something to that effect. I know just enough to know I'm not sure!
