    If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck referring to windows 10 build 10240 as the release version in my opinion.

    Would you care to explain how my clean install of 10240 (See my other postings on how I did the test) activated and has no expiration date after I withdrew from the insider program via insider website and deleted all device but windows 10240 from my Microsoft account and I deleted all device from one drive as well? If it wasn't a release version it wouldn't be permanently activated would it? In case they do come out with a new build still doesn't mean build 10240 wasn't put on OEM computers. Most of my posting say it is my opinion or I could be wrong. Again, this is my opinion and I could be wrong. :)

    Win 10 Prox64 - latest "final"
       #1061

    @groze -

    I have installed Win 10 many times on many drives under all sorts of scenarios. The one thing I have noticed is the inconsistency of the installs. I am not sure that we all got the same update versions, and believe this was confirmed somewhere. I have signed in and out of INSIDER and my MS account, and was always able to get the OS activated and back into the Insider program. Several times it took awhile for all to "update", but in the end it did.

    My point is, based on my experience, I am not sure we are always comparing "apples to apples".
    My experiences on my machine, all others may vary.

    Joanne, The time on my lock screen simply states the 12 hour time without mention of AM or PM. When I log into my computer I always have at least a vague sense of whether it is morning or night, so the AM PM thing does not bother me. As far as that task bar action center icon, no it has never glowed or called attention to itself in any way. I just found out about it the other day while following this thread, I had no idea it even existed.

    Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to uninstall your current drivers in safemode. By doing so, this wonderful application will ensure WU won't override your display drivers once you restart back to the "normal" mode. Then install your working driver and restart.

    DDU: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/forums/...7ab3c70a60768b

    Let me know if it doesn't work, because I have a plan B ready (just in case)
    Unfortunatelly, it didn't work. As soon as I logged back in normal mode and installed 353.30, after rebooting I checked for updates to test it. Right away it downloaded and installed version 353.54 (nVidia driver).

    Thanks a lot though for your rapid and accurate replies! If you have another suggestion I'd be happy to apply it. Each time my desktop background changes, and I have it set to one minute, I see an artifact. For example white lines or the image breaking, something like that. EDIT: sorry, should I install my desired driver in Safe Mode, as well? Because I installed it in Normal Mode.

    Here we are trying to observe bugs, issues, or whatever is not functioning the way it is supposed to, then report it. So, it is not a matter or what "bothers" me, you, or anyone else. It is mostly a matter of IF "it works or it does not work" - the way it's supposed to.

    I have 2 installs of 10240 on the same PC in different partitions. On one of these I am an insider, on the other I am not.
    They both seem identical to me, both update, neither has a watermark. I am sure they would both look like ducks to you too.
    However my belief is that they are both beta pre-release software, since the release date is still a few days away, and that the BCD and registry refer to developer code (Flightsigning or Flighting) in the system.
    The Insider program is as much on hold at the moment, as the new release and activation servers. Once Microsoft has sufficient information about how the community tries to hack their new OS, and no sooner than the 29th, the actual (first) final version will be released. And I doubt it will have the build number 10240.

    Alright. Seeing that that didn't make the trick either. Try this instead:

    And let me know if it doesn't work either, cause I still have another solution for it.

    I am sorry Joanne, what is a bug to you is not a bug to me. I would never have noticed the AM PM thing at all if it wasn't pointed out to me. Since it is really not something that I noticed or that effected the function of my computer, it is definitely NOT a bug.

    All right!!!

    This one works (as it seems)!
    After the installation of the 353.30 NVIDIA driver I've manually checked for updates twice and it did not find any new driver! And the artifacts are gone! Of course, I will have to check out all this more thoroughly but so far it works.

    If it is of any importance, in other (big) forums, as well, they have observed artifacts with the latest driver (and 10240 build). Only those who have clean-installed 10240 from an ISO have not faced this issue.

    One last question, Jackalito! For the 1st time ever I've decided to do a Custom installation. Here is how I've set it:
    Windows 10 Build 10240 for PC is now available-1.png

    Is it all right, is it OK, the way I have it? Because from now on this is how I will install it.

    Thank you VERY much for the SOLUTIONS that you have provided today! VERY effective! This is the most important thing, after discovering the problem and what is responsible for causing it: to find the Solution! Well done, man!

    I think you should be OK with that custom installation as long as you don't use the built-in HDMI audio of your graphics card. I can't be too sure here since I haven't had a Geforce card for years
