I have problems in this build and the previous one extracting ZIP files within File Explorer.

Similar here. Do you have a FBH entry I can upvote?

Same issue here. But, I wanna know why, all of a sudden!

Geeks, that is a "non-error", in lack of better expression, and there's a simple, easy workaround as told in this note in tutorial Windows Insider - Get Latest Fast Ring ISO image | Tutorials

   Note

For reasons unknown to me, extracting downloaded Aria ZIP archive occasionally shows an error message:



Error message itself is an error, extracting will work without issues. If / when you'll get the above shown error message, simply select Do this for all current items and click Skip. ZIP archive will be extracted normally.

Thanks for pointing that out - at least you now have more information on what the error is. I upvoted the following feedback entry: https://aka.ms/AA3znkv

Thanks. Upvoted.

I think I reported that my Skippy Build 18329 is all washed out . . .

Now I'm wondering if I did a repair install, would it make things look better? Or worse!?

Annnnnnnnnd! The repair install didn't cut the mustard, but a clean install finally has me where I should be!

This has been one hale of a trip!

Sometimes it's the only answer.

Yep. For whatever reason, it seems that something was hanging on from the 18323 (for me) fiasco.

Actually it is the reverse. Because I have, for the moment, more storage space for Linux I'm copying VMs I've made in Linux to Windows (with surprisingly bad results so far). Linus always releases new kernels on Sunday. It will be a couple of days before it shows up in Rawhide. It may have already showed up in the Ubuntu ppa. I don't mine having to boot to Fedora 29 (kernel 4.20) if I need or want to work with VMware - I assume VMware will want to find a solution if nobody else provides a patch since most distros will be on kernel 5.0 within a year - if not sooner. I use Insider builds as tests for virtualization software since Windows is the most finnicky of OS's -as we all know well

Lol, yes, we do know.

That being said - so, VMs of F30 w/ kernel 5RC4 being copied to Insider, from VMWorkstation to Windows Hyper-V? Or just copied from VMWare for *nix to VMWare for Windows?

Sorry for all the questions - I decided a while back that I was going to drop the idea of virtualization as my poor system gets easily overloaded if I run even one VM, and maintaining them is an even larger PITA, but I am exploring enabling the Hyper-V stuff again to play a little, to install a couple of variants of Gentoo-based distros to test a new for *nix app (actually 2, now).

I used to be able to open a .ZIP in Xplorer², my default file manager, and it would work just fine. Now I get that error message but there is no dialog to 'skip', and I am forced to either reopen the archive in 7Z and then extract before I can use any files within the archive, whereas before it would automatically just extract to the temp folder and run on demand.



(Note: Pure conjecture on my part) I suspect this is a part of the new 'security' focus, requiring more user intervention before allowing an archive to dump and run executables.

Glad you're back up!

I did a clean install of 18329 on a partition - as I always do with new builds - and now I am receiving an Activate Windows message.
Anyone else got that? Or anyone knows a fix?

No, but I installed on a full SSD, not a single partition. I assume you got the .ISO from UUPDump? Did you do anything special at all? And do you have other OSs on other partitions on the same physical drive?

Yes, from the Dump and used it to clean install on a laptop and desktop. The laptop is (Windows Pro) and seems to be ok but the desktop (Windows 7 Home Premium upgraded to Windows 10 Home) requires activation.
Did nothing special... made a USB with Rufus, booted, formatted then install. Until today, it always worked flawlessly.
Yes, one other OS, a non insider Windows 10. Haven't booted into it yet but I probably should to see if that too is receiving an activation warning.

EDIT: Now that I've thought about it some more I did do something 'different'. Usually when I clean install I get an insider message which i ignore because I know I'll be installing a new build soon, regardless. But today I fixed the insider issue and entered my email etc to get on the skip track. I wonder if that's what caused the activation error somehow. i'll do a clean install again and ignore the message.

Well, that or you could simply try entering the Win 7 key again to activate? Might be a bit easier to try that first

(Assuming, of course, that you didn't already try that)
