Yes, but not a VM. On the regular physical build. Close it out and I get this:



Yahoo and Outlook are fine. Not Gmail.

I get the above error message as well. However I just installed Office 365 and since my gmail Outlook account is fine it is definately a bug in thei Builds Mail program.

Worst update ever.
It took multiple hours and now my W10IP VM BSODs constantly (Bad Pool Header, Kernel Security Check Failure).

What use is the new so-called Safe Mode?
I can't install anything or even get info from the Device Manager.


Luckily I zipped up a copy of my VM, before I allowed MS to mess with it.

I guess I'll have to delete this mess and restore b14971.

I have three VMs that I upgraded from 14971 to 14986, without any of that happening.

Are you using Hyper-V?

I'm using VMware Player on a LM18.1 Host.

It's the first time I've ever seen a VM BSOD.
I could login, but after ~30 seconds it would BSOD and then restart.

Luckily the "Advanced Boot Options" menu eventually appeared and I was able to select the "Rollback" option.

Aside
BTW, how do I create a Start Menu Tile that starts a program as Administrator (just like you can do with traditional shortcuts)?

Create your shortcut to run as admin like normal, then place it in either:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
(Will also place a shortcut in all apps column)

or in

C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
(Just creates a tile)

Is this just me or does the Alarms & Clock stopwatch only work up to 59 minutes 59 seconds? Why is it showing HH:MM:SS:HUNDREDS, if the hours (HH) are not counted?

I'm trying to measure the time needed for a quite complex procedure which can take hours, but the stopwatch goes to 00:00:00:00 after 00:59:59:99. Noticed it when the procedure went to its second hour, captured it an hour later when it went to its third hour:
