New Windows 10 Insider Preview Skip Ahead Build 18214 - August 10 Insider

Taskbar issues I had in the previous build appear resolved.

Hi there

Latest Skippy fine on 1 machine -- get boot failure on another machine whether via clean install, standard WU update or via ISO and update "in situ".

First time also that a Macrium copy from the OK machine wouldn't boot on the other machine.

Strangely enough current fast ring build is OK and also latest skippy on wintousb boots ok.

Something definitely skew with the WU update process.

Often runs fine as a VM but you do need to test on real hardware as boot problems or WU errors won't be seen a lot of times when running as a VM.

Problems are all on an AMD machine -- who knows maybe Ms only considers INTEL as viable these days (as I would too but I got the machine for NOTHING so it was worth trying).

If I can't get the wretched machine to run Windows properly then I'll use it as a NAS with Linux as the host and just carry on with skippy's as VM's.

Cheers

Today the problems seem to have gone away and Windows Security opens fine and all the functions are accessible. Must have been something requiring several restarts before it became stable.

Version 3.0 of Windows 10 Sticky Notes is coming soon to Skip Ahead Insiders
