The info is also in the feedback hub I just noticed, you're welcome, and I hope it works for you:)

Very odd, I tried rebooting again while pressing F8 and it worked normally this time.

edit: spoke too soon, it has reverted back to 15031 so will try your suggestion soon.

Cliff, Swarfega and all....

If possible, always try to get a quick look at the release notes first. Either on the Hub or the Blog, or posted here (usually by Shawn). Scan thru the known issues. You may be able to save yourself some headaches if you have a heads-up that may pertain to you. It's not always possible to do, but it can forewarn and make things a little smoother. TC

Glad I didn't look at the release notes first. They said no 32bit download but I got it straight away.

Yeah! Maybe Dona and the crew were a bit hasty declaring that part.
