Windows 10 build 10162 Released

You know, I think that RTM will actually be what we will get july 29th, because this the date of DIGITAL distribution. So? My conclusion is they have time until exact 29th to provide the RTM which they actually can finalize even at 28th. SImply because RTM means "Ready to Manufacture", and manufacturing will start 2 or 3 weeks after digital release. It can be 29th, so we have plenty of time!

Gary, you seem to have a plethora of issues with new builds. Suggest you just clean install. MS ISO is available @ Download Windows 10 Insider Preview ISO - Microsoft Windows

Ha!. I am aware. I think that I will just wait for the Final release and just update Windows 7. ese build have consumed just about all of time. Makes me feel like I am back at work..LOL . Do wish to thank everyone here, you all Rock.

I thought it's on the shelves as physical media on the release date, plus on new PC's?

AFAIK it's not true. As I remember yesterday on the blog they told how they're going to release it. Even people who reserved it won't get it on 29th - only insiders. Later they will provide copies for OEMs.

As far as I know, the Control Panel will be removed in the future so what's the point of getting nicer icons for something which will eventually no longer be part of Windows?

I totally missed the part about polished icons, Kari! In fact, I think I joined you in a sleepless night.

For some reason, I thought he was asking about why icons had gone missing.

The 10162 Build would not recognize any other drives that were installed. I could not even use my eSata drive. It blue screened every time I tried. Because of all of this, I am back on Windows 7.

My USB 3 external drive works like a champ. That's where I keep all my downloads and data files; nothing on the Windows Drive unless by accident.
