Thanks for that confirmation. Did you get the same results with that address BTW?

I had similar issue with an earlier build. Stopping the service, then restarting it fixed it. Worth to try at least

Well, I rebooted. And that didn't change anything, i'd assume a service stop/start would not be any different. I've reverted to 16199 regardless.

In most every new Build, I usually make a habit of copying all the UWP App shortcuts from the shell:appsfolder and store them somewhere.
That way, if something goes awry in a new Build, you may have something to fall back on.
Example:
Some of these shortcuts, from a previous Build, look corrupt in this Build because of a drastic change or a glitch of some sort, but they still work.



So, I create another copy, paste it in the Start Menu folder, possibly rename it and give it a custom icon.

Did you try F key (applicable to your machine) to get to boot options and manually select the boot manager?

My machine is set up without boot manager, I select a specific drive through BIOS set up.During the boot process neither boot mgr sees the other boot mgr, so no conflict there.

No way to go wired in this house, Walt. We're completely wireless and here I sit with one router and a cable modem/router combo that I cannot use.

I'm rolled back to 16199, so I'll just have to wait until the issue gets fixed.

Is there is no way to plug an Ethernet cable into your router, or into your cable modem (you can also go directly from the modem into the router, wired), and from there directly into your computer? I realize it might mean moving the computer around some, but that would be only temporary. Every wireless modem and router I've ever used has also offered Ethernet connections. Oh, well, just a suggestion...but it is so annoying to have to wait for another build, eh? My teeth were on edge waiting for 16215 to fix some things in 16199--which it did--but I had my fingers crossed. Hopefully you won't have to wait more than a week, though...
