Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14257 Insider

I'm all upgraded. Hopefully the graphics stack issue that was supposed to be resolved in the last build actually is this time. Those hard locks while gaming were annoying.

Main machine on new release and other one downloading.

At least I didn't get a reversion to earlier version that stuffed this machine up!

Looking good so far EXCEPT network sharing is still totally shambolic, and, don't forget AGAIN, turn restore back on. Grrrr.

For those who plough ahead without reading it all - Note:

Known issues:
•If you choose “Reset This PC” under Settings > Update & Security > Recovery – your PC will be in an unusable state. There is no workaround if your PC gets into this state and you will need to reinstall Windows. This issue will be fixed in the next build. You can still rollback to the previous build if for some reason this build doesn’t work out for you. This bug also existed in Build 14251 so please avoid resetting your PC on these builds.

That's why it pays to have a plan(backup). The whole idea is to help MS find problems so then can be fixed before releasing updates to the general public.

Nothing here yet.

OK, network discovery is looking better now but is still patchy.

I have 3 x 1511 and 2 x 14257 plus networked printer up now and am getting inconsistent results (normal!!).

1 x 257 and 1 x 1511 can see all 6 devices. 2 x 1511 and 1 x 257 can only see three devices.

The three 'good' ones use NetBIOS for discovery but the 'bad' ones only seem to use WSD.

Got to figure out why some use NetBIOS and some don't!

TOR works again (didn't in previous build)....

This is encouraging. Thanks.
