Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14986 for PC Insider

If they do, it'll be an easy fix. I have to change my Registry Keys every new Build anyway so I can continue to get Insider updates to Office 365 2016.

@Wynona
I see my Office Insider hasn't updated for weeks. Still at Version 1611 (Build 7416.1000) and I haven't known what may be the cause (haven't searched for a reason much, either.)
Which registry keys do you modify? And to what value? Thanks.

It seems that Insider Build 14986 is playing nicely with Vipre :)

Hi,

Et voila, ISO created:

14986.1000.160101.WINBUILD_CLIENTPRO_OEMRET_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO

I'll start a clean install in a couple of minutes and report back ASAP.

Cheers,

Well, there's some good news and some not so good news.
Having created a bootable usb stick using the ISO file I decided it was time to put it to test.
It booted , launched setup but then it immediately complained about some "images" missing. A deja vu as I've seen this happen before.

Tried with a newly created stick but the exact same scenario. No cigar again so I decided to mount the ISO file from Windows, launch setup.exe from it and all went without a glitch. Go figure.

So, the ISO is usable to do an in place upgrade and quite probably as a source to repair a damaged image. Haven't tried the latter yet since there's nothing to repair... as yet. (sarc)

No clue what's wrong with my ISO, the ESD's Hash 1 is fine and I used ESD to ISO to create it. Even created a new one but no, it still won't play along. Strange.

Cheers,

Just my armchair tech knowledge here, but it seems like some bootable files could be missing when the ISO was created hence you can mount it and run setup.exe as that doesn't require booting of the flash drive, but when you have to boot it, you can't. So my guess is that some critical boot file or the bootable structure that makes it possible for the USB to boot is missing or messed up for some reason.

Best I could do with my non-programming knowledge.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for the input.
It does boot and even goes as far as asking for a license key which you can skip but the it complains and it then reboots into Windows.
So, there's clearly something wrong with it. Wish I knew what though.

Later on today I'll extract the WIM file and try to look for some clues.

Cheers,
