    To change the topic a bit...

    Since I encountered some problems with restarting PC, start menu reverting to multiple columns etc, I decided to make a clean install of latest build. Look like most of those (minor) problems have gone. Everything working fine and smooth :)

    Those upgrades are getting better and better, but some minor problems are accumulated over time.

    An analogy comparing habitable housing to a computer Beta O/S not released to the general public is ridiculous.

    Your second sentence has a simple answer.....Ditch Insider and install Build 1607.

    Your third sentence is even more bizarre....M$ are working on development projects such as holographics and other futuristic programs.
    Yet here you are, knowing this is Insider Beta complaining it is not compatible with your computer, this is why its on the insider program to try and solve any incompatible reasons, hopefully with the help of willing insiders.

    Imagine the reaction posting on Feedback Hub for Insiders...Your quote "why can't i uninstall it or at least remove the useless menu entry?"
    I can understand MS doing it with the Insider builds. Why does it have to carry over to the released versions? I'll go through all the trouble to setup my default programs and apps just to have MS decide they know what's best for me and reset everything back to what they want me to use. I went through all the trouble to set up my computer the way I want it, MS should leave it alone. Another thing that ticks me off. Why can't I delete all the apps I'm never going to use. I don't care how little space a app may use or how cheap drives are and how big you can get. If I'm not going to use something I want it off my computer.

    Hi,

    Why can't I delete all the apps I'm never going to use. I don't care how little space a app may use or how cheap drives are and how big you can get. If I'm not going to use something I want it off my computer.
    Couldn't agree more.
    I want my desktop to look and act like a desktop. It's not a blow up smartphone after all.
    Problem is that uninstalling apps doesn't really uninstall them. Moreover removing some of them by force may well render the system in a "non-optimal" state. To put it politely.

    Its not that such versions of W10 do not exist. We, the general public at large, just can't buy them.

    So, I try to live with it and stop apps I don't need from running in the background, etc. , etc....

    Cheers,

    Windows 10 editions - Wikipedia
    Editions[edit]
    All mentioned editions have the ability to use language packs, enabling multiple user interface languages. This functionality was previously only available in Windows 7 Ultimate or Enterprise.[1][2] Single-language variants of Home and Pro editions are also available.[3]
    Home
    Windows 10 Home is designed for use in PCs, tablets and 2-in-1 PCs. It includes all consumer-directed features and is the equivalent to basic Windows 8, 8.1, Windows 7 Home Basic, and Home Premium.[4][5][6]
    Pro
    Windows 10 Pro is comparable with Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate and Windows 8/8.1 Pro. It builds on the Home edition and adds features essential for businesses, and functionally equivalent to Windows 8.1 Pro.[4][5][6]
    Pro Education
    Not part of the initial line up of Windows, this edition was introduced in July 2016 for hardware partners on new devices purchased with the discounted K-12 academic license. It features a Set Up School PCs app and does not include Cortana, Windows Store suggestions and basic tips and tricks of Windows 10.[7][8]
    Enterprise
    Windows 10 Enterprise provides all the features of Windows 10 Pro, with additional features to assist with IT-based organizations, and is functionally equivalent to Windows 8.1 Enterprise.[4][5][6]


    Enterprise LTSB:
    Windows 10 Enterprise Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) is similar to Windows 10 Enterprise but does not include Cortana, Windows Store, the Edge browser, Photo Viewer and the UWP version of Calculator (replaced by classic version), and will not receive any feature updates, gives companies more control over the update process. Windows 10 Enterprise N LTSB also lacks the same components absent in other N variants (see below), and it is the most stripped down edition of Windows 10 available.[4][6]


    Education
    Windows 10 Education provides all Windows 10 Enterprise features, designed for use in schools, colleges, and universities. It is available with Microsoft's Academic Volume Licensing.[4][5][6]
    Mobile
    Windows 10 Mobile is designed for smartphones and small tablets. It includes all basic consumer features, including Continuum capability. It is the de facto successor of Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows RT.[4][5]
    Mobile Enterprise
    Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise provides all the features in Windows 10 Mobile, with additional features to assist with IT-based organizations, in a manner similar to Windows 10 Enterprise, but optimized for mobile devices.[4][5]
    As with all versions of Windows since XP, all Windows 10 editions for PC hardware have "N" and "KN" variations in Europe and South Korea that exclude certain bundled multimedia functionality, including media players and related components, in order to comply with antitrust rulings. The "Media Feature Pack" can be downloaded and installed to restore these features.[9] As with Windows 8.1, a reduced-price "Windows 10 with Bing" SKU is available to OEMs; it is subsidized by having Microsoft's Bing search engine set as default, which cannot be changed to a different search engine by OEMs. It is intended primarily for low-cost devices, and is otherwise identical to Windows 10 Home.[10]
    IoT editions[edit]
    Designed specifically for use in small footprint, low-cost devices and IoT scenarios. It is a rebranded version of Microsoft's earlier embedded operating systems, Windows Embedded. Three editions are already announced: IoT Core, IoT Enterprise, and IoT Mobile Enterprise.[11][12][13]
    Free upgrade[edit]
    At the time of launch, Microsoft deemed Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users eligible to upgrade to Windows 10 free of charge, so long as the upgrade takes place within one year of Windows 10's initial release date. Windows RT and the respective Enterprise editions of Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 were excluded from this offer.[14] Since July 29 2016, Windows 10 is no longer offered as a free upgrade, instead a license must be purchased.

    Windows not activated


    The past two builds I have been getting the message Windows is not activated.
    This is indeed a bought and registered version.
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    Note, this does not come up every time I turn the computer on.

    Finally a statement which goes along with my reasoning.....I fully concur.

    M$,s main objective is to test each succeeding Insider flight, (as it comes) with all ones own personally chosen programmes and apps added to check any issues that might arise, not to remove any M$ apps as that would defeat their objectives.
