Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16176 PC + 15204 Mobile Insider

Disk cleanup on 2 remote VMs. I wonder why the great differences in windows.old size.?

Updated to both 16170 and 16176 within 24hrs without any issue except for the boot problems 16170 caused to my main Windows 10 on another SSD. It was the first time it happened since I separated the 2 installations between MBR and GPT disks more than a year ago. But not a big deal. Image backups are sweet.

Do you have a GPT disk on your SSD? If so how is it working out. I'm leaving my SSD with the 3 operating systems as MBR unless I can find a good reason to convert it to GPT. The 2 internal drives I use for storage (almost completely of VMs) are HDD drives with GPT.

Yes. Separate SSDs. I use GPT because it works better with UEFI for me. I am only using MBR to isolate the Insider OS from my main OS so that they don't mess up with it each other. But unfortunately I had one incident last night when I upgraded to 16170. That was the first time. But it could be my fault.

I just noticed now, the Snipping Tool have a new interface...

When I get back from Windows I'll post the output of a partition I have a Gigablyte mobo which is capable of so-called hybrid UEFI but there's no real advantage to me in using it since I'm fine with just 4 partitions including the boot manager (BootIT Bare Metal). So I think I will just leave it a MBR. The next machine I get will be using a UEFI motherboard - I'm looking to maybe buy a Ryzen 5 processor. Things could change with this one if I want to install a a second SSD.

Don't bather with hybrid UEFI on that MB (I have same one). I already tried it and legacy mode was/is much better.

Updated to the latest version and every time I have 2 youtube videos open and I maximize one of them, it crashes my computer after a few seconds. Seems like something up with the latest build and nvidia drivers.

Yep! Glad you posted this. Seems this confirms my suspicion of Windows Graphics subsystem being a bit broken.

Are you having these issues on desktop computer or is it a laptop? Is the My Computer information accurate in your user profile?
