Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast+Slow Build 19037.1 (20H1) - December 6 Insider

lmod · 08 Dec 2019

Interesting. My Surface Pro 5 updated to 19037.1 without any drama. But my desk top had some problems, apparently related to the non-working sound card that is still installed.
Problems:- Sound tray icon claiming the Audio services was not running (it was, and couldn't be stopped/restarted.)
No sound (from my BenQ 3200 monitor speakers.
Both Firefox and Firefox Dev Ed not populating the window that opened.
Solved by running a scan for hardware changes in Device Manager. It was showing entries for the add-in sound card, after the scan those entries were not shown
The BenQ speakers are working, FF and FF Dev Ed are working (I'm typing this in FF DE.)
I'm having some health problems, hence not trouble shooting the Asus Xonar sound card.Or removing it.

Anyone still getting the infinite spinning dots upon restart then rollback?

Not I. In fact, this was one of the fastest installs I've had through WU.

I did on one of my Fast ring builds, retry didn't help. Ended up making an ISO and finished it in 20 minutes.

I agree the last 2 or 3 builds have been faster than usual for me

I’ve experienced this as well, it disconnects but reconnects itself, not always but it does happen

Hi Steven, Well I have been mucking around with resolving this known Wi-Fi 'auto' disconnect after cold boot on 2 Insider PCs W10 Pro 64bit., one with Intel graphics the other Nvidia.

Go to Settings, Privacy, Location, change location for this device to off.
ALL blue toggle switching to off.
Click on Clear Tab to delete ALL Location history (I had heaps of).
Go to Activity History.
Uncheck First 2 boxes to Stop the reporting of and storage of activity history.
Clear activity history again via OK splash screen.

Reboot PC, may have to reconnect Wi-Fi Connection.

After 3 to 4 cold boots over 2 days I have had ZERO Wi-Fi Disconnects.
I blame MS Windows 'controlling' of PC and line in via LOCATION too eager to verify/check.

Good find, I would have to test this.. I have a question though, doesn’t activity history effect the timeline? I have my device setup to have activity history and timeline working.

Just an observation. The last two builds had a windows.old directory significantly smaller than previous build. Don't know what that means. Anybody else see this? Also FWIW I think we are very close to release based on the tempo of builds with minor improvements and the removal of the watermark. The only question is when the fast build will split again from the slow build and we will be working on 20H2.

Much appreciated for the reply. Didn't think to use an ISO for an in-place upgrade. Just did that and it worked like a charm. Kudos to you! :)

Welcome to TenForums, Redline. TF is the place to get more advice where that came from!

Glad that worked for you. Yes, as long as the ISO is same or greater, you can do that.
