Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14291 for PC and Mobile Insider
-
I'm on 3 monitors now and all works as intended.
Nice, Count, but I don't have room on this desktop for more than two, and that's stretching it a bit.
I just finished building a couple of "elevators" for my monitors so they're up where I can see them without having to look down.

Did you ever think it might be related to something you are doing there? Here I have been upgrading one after the other since the TH2 update was the one that suddenly got buggy only after 2 1/2 months suggesting you may be looking at some types of software issues springing up.
No, not really, because I essentially use the same software and hardware with each update. Microsoft Office 365 2016 ProPlus; Brother and HP printers; Logitech M510 mouse (that works fine once I changed it from "as fast as it'll go" to medium speed); Skype for Business and the consumer one that comes with Windows 10; OneDrive for Business and OneDrive consumer that comes with Windows 10. Really, when it comes right down to it, other than Firefox, printers (1 HP & 2 Brothers), mouse and keyboard, everything on the computer comes straight from Microsoft.
So far the only thing found that needed to be refreshed here following a couple of build changes mainly with the last two was seeing the sound card's software redone. The only main difference between this and the last build is for the Edge extensions and why this one was out so fast.
I haven't had problems with video or sound.

Too many people are having problems with 14291 for me to believe they are all user based. MS might release 50 builds in a row that nobody has problems with, but that's no guarantee the 51st will be immune. If one build works perfectly on my system and the next one doesn't, yet I've made no changes in what's installed otherwise or in settings, I'm inclined to think the new build is basically at fault.
But, but, but, Larc, it's so much easier to blame the user than to dig for the root of the problem. :)
Seriously, I've had such good luck with almost every new build (there have been problems here and there) that I guess it just had to happen to me . . . Kinda works to make sure I'm not too complacent.
And yeah, you're right. There are too many problems with both Build 14279 and 14291 for them all to be user based. Another thing to throw into the mix is that today, systems are just too diverse for Microsoft to get it 100% right. Just ain't agonna happen!

knocking on wood as I write this, but no problems with mine. Perhaps I am doing it all wrong by most counts, but running on a w8.1 conversion, not one clean install.....still knocking..

Mike posted no problems with three monitor setup...
:). . .
So, it looks like only two monitor setup is affected with Snipping tool problems?
I should get the third one, but don't really have enough place, or need - since this is my home setup.:)
-
So far this build has been about the same as the others for me. Stable with no major issues. With the minor exception of this...
My taskbar clock will not fit properly.
-
On the bright side: i have feeling (didn't measure :)) that boot time is even shorter then last few builds.
No freezes or crashes (except windows explorer crashes when Snipping tool is used ...).

Dang, Meebers, you be one lucky guy.
When any Build acted up for me, I could usually do a clean install and that would clear things up. :)

Since I've had the SSD drive(s), I'm a very happy camper! This thing is blazing fast! Dual boot is just as fast as a single boot drive!
