Quote From Dona:

• ADDED 6/9: Some Insiders have reported having their installation of this build getting stuck or hung at around 33%. If this happens to you, you will need to restart your PC and have it rollback to Build 16199 and wait for the next build with a fix.

Hmmm.... Guess they figured out there may be "issues" with this one. Gollllllll-eeeeee!

Not gonna read back thru 400 posts to find out, but has anyone noticed, if you get that far, that it's impossible to change the Lock Screen pic? A VM actually upgraded ok (no doubt because it didn't have to deal with messed up boot issues), but Lock Screen change is busted. Did two (2) clean installs, different accounts, with the ISO I made. Both, busted Lock Screen pic change. Well....there's always Patch Tuesday to look forward to in a couple days!

Don't be so sad, at least Microsoft gave you two a choice.

They did???? And what might that be?

I ain't agonna stop my Insider Preview!

Can't remember clearly any more but beta of Win95 had some parts of Norton utilities incorporated. When official W95 came out, those parts were missing. As internet was practically non existent, only later I found out why. MS had a fall out with Norton but bought that part of the company shortly after. I remember waiting in front of a store in Toronto until 2AM when sales started, went home and spent rest of the night installing it instead of my beta version. That's when I found out that some parts and utilities were missing.

Close, but no cigar... Symantec still retains and owns Norton's to this day--actually, the company Microsoft bought whose AV product later became Defender was an obscure (relatively speaking at the time) AV company --I owned it, actually, and the only reason I remember it is because Microsoft bought it back then when I was using it... It was a small company but its AV program got rave reviews, especially compared to Norton's. For a couple of years, Microsoft sold "Defender" (I think it was the Microsoft Live Subscription back then--but I surely could be wrong as it's been awhile) before incorporating it into Windows. Thank goodness they did *not* buy Norton's! Ugh! Norton's is only slightly better than McAfee, imo, which is horrid--either program is like pouring tree sap into the software in your computer--gums up the works, nicely, lots of false positives, etc. That's just my opinion, certainly. But I thought you might be interested--I'll bet Brink knows the name of the AV Company Microsoft bought--I just can't recall it except to say I *know* it wasn't Norton's...

I'm not sure from memory if this is the company, but here's a link:

Also, and this is aimed at people other than the Count, I'd recommend people activate the traditional control panel in 16215--because lots of the stuff they think isn't present in this build still is...so this calls for the obligatory screen shot.

Is it on this list somewhere?

You managed to install 16215 and choose to go back to 16199. I never got to try 16215. :-(

Neither did I, Al. It busted my WiFi connection.
