Hi folks

regarding VMWare running virtual machines on this build as Host -- we've got a bit further now

VM's run fine -- including copying data from networked / shared HDD's but again if you try and attach an external USB drive this time the HOST does a GSOD with stop code -- page_fault or similar

at least there's now a definite error for Ms and VMWare to work on.

Rest of this build is working fine -- including Language interface that was driving me bonkers last time as it was partly in one language and then in another in hopelessly random fashion.



Build definitely running slicker than previous builds. I installed this one via UUPDUMP and upgrade from 1809 build.

Will leave this build on this machine for now to play around with HYPER-V.

I suspect the VMWare issue will be solved fairly shortly now.

Cheers

I did all of that and sfc still stuck at 34% but that was in previous build too.

No go over 34%. no matter what.

Maybe a repair install is in order using the .ISO from UUP dump. I cannot think of any other solution.

Hi there
Not sure why people seem to get stuck at 34% or so on this build -- depends I suppose what you upgraded from

I installed all the latest updates via Windows update on build 1809 and then did an upgrade install using the iso made via UUPDUMP -- I removed any external USB HDD / SD card while doing the upgrade as some people having these connected while upgrading to latest insider builds seem to have had problems.

Apart from the VMWare issue - this build if you can get the wretched thing installed does seem to have a much better performance than build 1809 -- I haven't got actual measurements but it just seems faster. (Not very scientific I know - but perception is also valuable too).

@Kari or any other HYPER-V users etc

any quick way of converting VMWare VM's (vhdk's) to HYPER-V ones -- it's not hard to create new VM's but it would be simpler to convert if possible existing VM's then I don't have to go through all the install rigmaroles again.

Hi there

Thanks

I find it very interesting how many knowledgeable people on here still run third party AV's. I haven't used a third party AV in over two years, and have never collected a virus because of it, nor any other problems with my system. And I'm no online angel. I do visit some questionable sites here and there. Too much curiosity! Furthermore, I remember experiencing MORE problems back when I used them.
Once in a while I will fire up Malwarebytes, and run a scan, only to find nothing important in the results. Only a few pups once in a while. And then I delete MBAM as soon as I finish.
These were important things to have a half a decade or so ago, but now days, not so much...

I installed this build 18890 , and I have to say it is very solid, much much better than the version 1903 build 18362 and fixes lots of the bugs in the build 18362

I hope the may release will be 18890 cause it is really solid. I guess I am dreaming.
