This?

That's it. Thanks.
But internet was working when it shows up... But, how would we notice it then

Since the VMware problem is on Windows Insider hosts I'm not so sure VMware will go out of its way to patch its executable - such a host is of course unsupported. Sometimes the problem will go away in the next build. If the problem persists with no resolution I'll almost be tempted to install a Windows IP on my hard drive - but probably not. I found a workaround for a problem with VMware Linux that plagued me for years and now can enjoy 3-D acceleration on my VMs. If, as jimbo pointed out, MS had better QA that would be a plus but they really aren;t listening to feedback from anybody except corporations. Or so it seems

Hi there
Fails for all GUEST OS's

VBOX works but I don't like it and I'm sure vmware will be working with Ms to fix this particular defect. There's other issues with this skippy so I'd expect to see a new one out soon or at least an update.

With this many faults reported what on earth is hapenning to any sort of QA at Ms. In my younger days if we let this type of software out of the door it wouldn't be just the software going out of the door !!!!.

Linux HOSTS work fine (but why would they not since this release of vmware has been out a while now) so you can run W10 skippy builds as GUESTS on a Linux Host.

It is a Beta test system..............

Agree..
From announcement:

REMINDER: As is normal with builds early in the development cycle, builds may contain bugs that might be painful for some. If this makes you uncomfortable, you may want to consider switching to the Slow ring. Slow ring builds will continue to be higher quality.

Marty, these days with the Insider editions being the next coming release of Windows to the public, it only makes sense to support it, making sure all is well before Windows hits the masses. I've seen the results of not supporting the Insiders editions, a major disaster upon release of Windows...

Actually, I was mostly talking about VMware's support policies, although my post was very meandering. We might even find out tomorrow (Weds) whether the problem is transient.

I can confirm, that regarding Rainbow Six Siege game, even on the latest game patch (Wind Bastion) issue with Windows Insider 18290 it's STILL present, BSOD on anticheat loading phase. Every build after 18277 render every Battleye games UNPLAYABLE.

Yup, appears in the list of known issues:


PS, I don't even know why they mention the "patience", these are fast ring builds and that kind of bugs (and some worse ones) are to be expected, those that don't have "patience" ...


I'm not saying it for you, it's just a reminder.
