Does this (from the Windows Blog) help?

Thanks for that, David.

They did pull the app, but there is still a way to open, but limited. They also added PCs to OneDrive online. Lots of changes. I'll post in a new thread on it.

If you click on the link "Improvements to the Windows Insider Program" of the "Insider Hub" App it mentions that the ISO's will be released for build 7890 when it is released to the "Slow" ring.

20 minutes or so to download, just started the install.

It took mine over an hour to go thru all the install stuff. Then I checked for updates, it added another 20+ minutes.

W10 b9860 doesn't consider downloading updates to be "Activity".

I started downloading the new preview and then I went and watched the TV.

My Sleep setting was set to 30 minutes.
After that time had passed, W10 turned itself off even though it hadn't finished downloading the update.

I've change my Sleep setting to "Never".
Hopefully it will actually download the update now.

I tried the ESDtoISO tutorial and ended back at 9860

It looks like it may not have been a total disaster.

W10 downloaded the remainder of the update when I restarted it.

This raises another issue though.
How can I check if the update has been corrupted?

If it was an ISO I could just check the hashes.

Trying the upgrade/install again

Given up and suspended the VM the install part just keeps going round and round, havent got to the setting up part yet.

First thing I noticed was the Start menu font size is fixed.

Attachment 8168.:)

I got to ask you this. Did you customize that dark background or is that the default, also what color is the background of the folders?

Check for corruption?
