Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16215 PC + 15222 Mobile Insider

@f14tomcat

Thanks for the info, TC. Did you ever find out why your new system drive configuration was set up the way it is?

I can see I may be burning the midnight oil here tonight.

My lappy on WiFi:

Like I said earlier, it downloaded the update overnight. I postponed the update process for 3 days this morning.
Started WU process: 7:23pm (after it initialized update in background I assume)
Reboot: 7:39pm (“Working on updates”)
Second reboot at 30%: 8:10pm
Third reboot at 33%: 8:13pm (reboot spinning, taking awhile)
Took 3 minutes for that reboot: 8:16 (33% sound familiar? Installing drivers?)
Now at 50%: 8:20pm
Fourth reboot at 75%: 8:27pm
Finished that process > Reboot: 8:43pm
“We’ve got some updates for your PC” > Blah, blah, blah > “Let’s start”: 8:46pm

That’s what?!! 1 hour 22 minutes? That’s quicker than previous updates for this lappy.

Now no Wifi. Ran troubleshooter. Says that WiFi adapter having problems, then this screen:

Hmm. No WiFi adapter driver?

I guess I'll sign off here and shut this rig down so I can plug my Ethernet cable into the lappy. Hopefully find a driver?

That's exactly what happened to mine, Hippsie, except it didn't tell me to plug in an Ethernet cable. It just said it couldn't figure out what was wrong.

So, did the Ethernet cable work for you?

Yes and even that was iffy for a bit. I could see it kinda like flashing deciding what to do. Thinking it was loading a driver since I've never had this lappy plugged into Ethernet.

Here's shots of Device Manager and the card properties with a bunch of events. Says "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)". Anyone know? Bad driver I assume?

Did you turn off WiFi, Hippsie?

No. It was not on upon final boot. It's the MS card driver. Do you have Ralink 802.11n Wireless Lan Card? Many in Feedback are reporting it broken.

Tried reloading the driver via the troubleshooter in Defender console. No go.

Going to try this next. Download Ralink* Wireless Network Driver for Desktop Boards

It's not "bad driver".

You can install a "good driver" to no avail on systems that have upgraded, with loss of WiFi.

Wifi just fails with this build for many systems.

Has anyone made the upgrade to 16215 where the WiFi does not fail?

If so, which adapter and driver continues working?

Has anyone attempted to upgrade from other builds than 16199 with any success on machines that have failed when attempting upgrade from 16199?

Thanks for that, Chris. Yes, I finally figured that out since it still states "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)".

Might have to simply roll back and go with slow ring on this machine. There may be an update soon too.

On second thought, I don't use this lappy a whole lot and really have no business running IPs on it. Besides, I'm too busy having 2 machines with them. One is enough for testing. I have a CU ISO thumb that I'll fresh install with.
