New Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast+Skip Build 18932 (20H1) - July 3 Insider

Hi folks

Welcome back to the Forum -- think it was being moved to different servers today !!! - these jobs always have a habit of taking a bit longer than planned !!!!

This build seems to work OK (upgraded via UUPDUMP) but Language still "a little bit hosed" -- works mostly and far better than previous skip ahead / fast build but not 100% correct yet. Liveable with though. Will try out some of the WSL features tomorrow.

Nice to see 10 Forums back after what I imagine was a busy day !!!

Cheers

Just upgraded a VMware WS Windows for Workstations using the UUPDUMP MUlti ISO. Viva UUPDUMP. And whenever I get around to reinstalling Windows on the SSD I'll be using VMware WS for Windows. I'm tired of Hyper-V "native" virtualization. Can't see the advantage of having to use Remote Desktop to access all my host devices.

Hi there

@martyfelker

handling removeable devices etc IMO makes using VMWare a lot easier than HYPER-V unless you simply want to run Windows stricly as a basic desktop with typical desktop apps like Office etc. Once you start mucking about with external hardware devices IMO HYPER-V can be a bit of a pain.

I think the RDP thing though is a bit of a non issue though -- if you want to logon to Windows clients and you have several of them on different devices then it's easier to remotely logon on to them rather than physically logon to each machine in any case -- depends on what you are doing though. If you've decent LAN speed the RDP connections shouldn't be a problem.

For Linux VM's an advantage also is that you often don't even need any GUI and these can always be reun headlessly - control them from an android phone or tablet if need be !!.

Incidentally if you want to try Hypervisors out with Linux the built in KVM or XEN facilities work a treat too -- if using KVM though do install the libvirt-io package to optimise (quite considerably) the I/O for Windows Guests. You'll also need to install an X-server with something like tigervnc on the linux host for remote communication and xrdp to access Windows guests.

I FINALLY have run into a problem. After what seems like forever since having any problems with the insider builds, which normally update very quickly and easily, suddenly 18922 refuses to update to 18932. It shows the update is there, but update just sits there at 0%. I have restarted several times. I have even turned off Windows Update, restarted and then turned it back on. But it refuses to download the new build. I am going to try the Windows Update Troubleshooter, and that doesn't work, not sure if I can do anything else but ask for an iso. At least it feels good to be able to bitch about something!

UPDATE: Troubleshooter, as usual, was of no help whatsoever. I tried to run a sfc scan, but got the following error message both times right at 35%: "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."

Soooooooo, IF anyone has an iso for this latest build, could you please make it available? Thanks in advance.

That's the right way to go. I was having the same issue going from 18922 to 18932 and that was what fixed it for me too.

Okie dokie. I've sort of ignored this when it was brought up previously, as I didn't need it. So I will have to go take a look and see how it works. Thanks guys.
