New Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast and Skip Ahead Build 17661 - May 3 Insider

Good morning geeks!

Today I am trying UUP-Dump created ISO upgrade method. Seems to be doing more this time. :)

I'm retrying the upgrade again after a restore. It'got to installing 11% so far

I've spent about 45minutes in total now. Downloaded UUP-files, Created ISO and now upgrading 2 VMs at the same time that are just about to make first reboot.

I've never used that method. If this fails I'll give it a try.

This does not disturb me, I just wonder if anyone could explain this.

After a cold boot, Start tiles for Chrome, Firefox and Opera browsers are shown as single colour squares, no icon:



After restart or sign out / sign in, they will be shown normally:



Why? What could be causing this?

This is the easiest place: UUP-Dump miniserver (Online)

1. Select "Known Build" and from there all the parameters that match your current install
2. On last screen select "Download using aria2 and then convert" (downloads a zip with a bunch of scripts)
3. Extract the content to a folder on root of C
4. Open Elevated CMD
5. Run the script "aria2_download.cmd"
6. Watch the script download your UUP files
7. Press Y and ENTER when the script asks if you want to convert
8. Select option 1 "Create ISO with install.wim"
9. Watch the conversion process
10. Do your in-place upgrade
11. DONE!

Here's some stats from my ancient fossil (ASUS-U46SV) upgrading 2 VMs at the same time to current IP, using ISO method mentioned above:

DESCRIPTION	TIME (minutes)
Download UUP files and create ISO	15
Upgrade of 2 VMs using ISO	40
Total time spent	55

Restarted machine this morning and it remembered the 56% I had downloaded last night and is currently at 82%.
