KB4556803 Windows 10 Insider Preview Slow & RP Build 19041.264 May 12 Insider

Hi there
Unless they get this correct it's going to be Windows.RIP edition (RIP eq R.I.P !!!)

I have perfect understanding of the sheer problems of supplying an OS used on so many different bits of hardware around the world and used by all sorts of levels of computer users -- however that does NOT IMO excuse for rushing stuff out of the door - especially if it's almost an RTM version) with so many basic errors in the OS.

People can rabbit on about changed icons and various registry things to mess around with -- but really should domestic users have to fiddle around with this stuff.

Sorry Ms -- fine to put out pre-release software -- users then know the risk of testing etc --but if this is scheduled as essentially RTM stuff (20 May was the original date) then something in your development management teams has gone sadly awry.

Note I really do understand the complexity of delivering a complex product --not simple --that's presumably why people are paid big bucks to ensure it works properly -- however something inside the big Ms empire has failed significantly during the releases of these builds.

Cheers

In my opinion, the complexity of 'Windows' exceeded their skill in programming and project management some time ago - it's just gotten away from them. If they would just take some time to consolidate and simplify, and listen to feedback, they might get it back under control. Maybe. Windows is a beast.

Well, it was fixed in fast ring builds. So MS knows what to do. Thought it was in slow ring too...

which specific "fast ring builds" were you talking about, AndreTen?
if so the ms defrag bugfix was not yet "backported" to 20H1/2004 and the bug still occurring as I have tested this myself even with 19041.264

Hi! I'm Currently downloading this update now..

So i guess i'll just have to wait and see once 2004 is out if WU will pop-up 2004 or still 1909.

Guys just one thing. Was the file explorer bug in 1909 ever fixed ? That's kinda the main reason why i didn't upgrade from 1903 to 1909 yet.

just remember that not everybody using 1903 or 1909 will receive 2004 all at once when released around end of May.
meaning I could get the 2004 version offered thru WU on my computer but you Mikey89 running 1903/1909 on your computer may not see the 2004 version offered thru WU as it will be delivered in "waves" or chunks (or 2004 may show up on WU on your computer at a different date than mine). Only Microsoft's WU servers will determine who is eligible for 2004 and who is not and will make it available to more people in later months like June & July

about the File Explorer problem, sorry I'm not sure about that. best to stay with 1903 a little longer as MS has some more bugs to fix with 2004

Who said that was the original date?

2004 will pop-up in a couple of weeks. You always get offered the latest version (unless deferred).
