Per MS: Remember to change those two registry settings back to '1' to re-enable the new updating method. I specifically inquired about that in the Win 10 developer forums @ MS and they said while it works now if your having issues downloading the 14986 update, leaving the registry settings to 0 or disabled will cause problems in the near future with respect to updates.

There's nothing to worry, that warning first seen on Microsoft Community being somewhat pointless. Both EnableUUPScan and SupportsUUP DWORD values will be reset to default 1 (UUP enabled, no install.esd) when upgrading, and need to be manually changed to 0 after the upgrade if you prefer ESD file also in future build upgrades after 14986 (will work as long as Microsoft offers the ESD option).

Hey Kari

Yeah okay. That's what I thought would happen....with respect to the reg values and the 'new' method of updating. I was just offering the ISO file for those who didn't want to search for it within other threads or posts.

Tnx for the info. I hope they continue to provide .esd files or if not the ability to choose to download the ISO (from MS) as it's being updated via Win Update as well.

Ugh...Time to change my signature logo. It needs an updated OS...heh

Are you changing your OS from Linux to Windows 10? I dual boot openSUSE Leap 42.2 and Windows 10 Build 14986 myself.

Thanks for this information Karl. I have changed the registry values to enable receiving esd updates AND am Downloading the 14986 esd from your shared OneDrive.

Happy Holidays!

Can't wait for the spring update of Windows 10! Loving the new features and options, keep up the great work guys! :)

And have a Merry Christmas everyone!

Oh boy, did I ever get into trouble today. I tried few programs for customizing windows that did work in earlier builds and conked my system but good. Task manager was jumping all over the place, some windows like System management were not moving in same direction as cursor, Taskbar didn't hide unused icons and all kinds of sh....
Finally run out of patience and restored from MR.
