everything i have done in edge worked fine. i deleted ie as soon as i got my system up and running, as i have in every other m$ os, as it is the single worst browser ever invented. i normally use firefox, chrome and opera, in that order of importance. i never have problems with my browsers. each has specific abilities which make it worth having. but from the little bit that i have played around with edge, it has worked fine, much better than any form of ie i have ever bothered with.



macrium is a great product, and i also use it, but have never needed to use it since coming into the tech. preview program back at 9822 i think it was.
also of note, i turn sys restore off anyway, as i use all ssd's in my system, and don't need it with macrium. office works fine for me in all builds.

It does not turn system restore off. At least the paid version does not. I don't use SR in Windows 7 anyway and I will probably turn it off in Win 10.

Gee you are right. Sorry.

without knowing your system, the only thing i can tell you is that there must be something wrong with the drivers on your system. but it isn't the build. i always make sure all of my drivers are up to date. i am a little ocd about this, and i almost never have any problems with updates. so if you have to, go to the manufacturers websites and dl the most current drivers. because one of my computers is running from a fresh install of that iso, and it has zero problems with any drivers. i just rechecked defender, and it is all up to date.

I enabled Intel's internal graphics just to see if WU would update it and it did, so I guess I'm good. Btw, all my motherboard's drivers are up to date to Win 8.1 drivers, obviously Win 10 drivers aren't out yet.

Edited: Yup, it's working... Even says the updates were successful now :)

it's all good guys. when i post on here, i'm not doing it just to prove i was right about something, as some others do. i do it to help someone get past a problem more efficiently. just want others to experience what i am right now. n self pride, just true experiences.

one other thing here, on a couple of other sites i had some guys who DID NOT agree to do the updates at the beginning of loading the new windows from iso. you should do them, and after i advised them to reload and do them first, everything was good with their systems. so that might help some.

So far I'm very pleased with build 10158. As good as build 10147 was, this is even better. I checked device manager and all my drivers are installed. Cortana is working, I can even get it to open programs and apps. Edge still needs some improvement. It's getting there though. In the beginning I didn't think I would like or even use Cortana and Edge. I might just change my mind. I'm definitely liking what I see. I think I'm starting to get carpal tunnel and Cortana can cut down on my mouse usage.

Problem is that I normally do the update first and check everything out for awhile before moving on to a clean install on each of my machines; however, this time it doesn't seem possible on at least one of my machines.

Lappy 17 won't even download; she's still sitting on 0% (after several reboots) since last night.

I just checked on Lappy 15.6 and she was finally waiting for me to click the Install button . . . we'll see if Build 10158 will complete installation. I'm not holding my breath!

I've kept the third lappy turned off until I see what happens with Lappy 15.6. To be safe I'm updating them one at the time.

Oh, and BTW, although I snipped your first paragraph, you don't have to explain yourself when you give good information. Or bad, for that matter . . . someone else will explain you for that! :)

@Wynona, are you still having the Defender block issue to build download? Try updating Defender thru it's UI and let it get happy. Then, try WU. Just a thought...

Hey, thanks, Dick! I'll try that! I hadn't even thought about it.
