Edwin,
Thanks for your quick reply..I'm typing this reply using windows 8.1, I changed back to this o.s. as my default because windows technical preview build 10061 was still somewhat buggy for me. But now with the release of build 10074, I'll install it and give it a 'test drive', who knows..I might actually like it.

I upgraded a copy of my W8.1 install to Build 10074 yesterday and its running very smoothly. All the programs I had installed in W8.1 work just fine in W10.

I just read on the Insiders forum that there is a known issue with Spartan crashing so thankfully it is not only me.

Good for you, the upgrade worked. I have a question what media did you create (dvd or usb drive) to install build on your PC ? what software did you use to create the media ?

I always keep my Windows 8.1 as my current default. When Windows 10 is ready to go then I will change it to that version. I'M on 8.1. It only makes sense.

I downloaded the esd file for Build 10074 and used Kari's tutorial to convert it to an iso file.
ESD to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 ESD File
I then ran the upgrade directly from the iso file.
Please beware that I first restored an image of my W8.1 Pro installation to another disk and then ran the upgrade over that copy.

"
- You can now launch Win32 (desktop) apps from the Start menu again. Sorry about this bug!"
WOW!
But now I can't pin anything to start menu and all my shortcuts are WIPED!
Thank you M$ :|

I'm happy I got my icons back from 49...they were still blank untill about the third reboot after install finished. :) Still a problem running in full screen...most apps have to be run in a window frame, but xbox is signing in again.

Running a 32bit dual boot (W10/W7 pro) on an old HP desktop and the apps still show "empty" with "Classic Shell 4.2.1 installed but I figure that a problem with the "Classic" and not W10. It started after 10041. The apps are still all there if I use the "Windows" button so no big deal so I'm not going to worry about it.

(ref upgrade today's iso over yesterday's) No Dude, only thing I found, after stressing it as much as I could, the 1 day newer, bigger one, doesn't keep asking me to verify who I am. People still doesn't work, just like Gabe said, update kept trying to download an older version of my NVIDIA video driver even though I have the newest one...it finally gave up after 2 hours. First time opening every app and program was painfully slow, then they worked after that. Not seeing what they did to make it bigger.

It was probably just the difference between compressing (the ESD) and decompressing (decrypt tool)
the difference is only 147,230,720 bytes (~147 MB)
