    I forgot to mention you need to be travelling at less than 0.01 x speed of light to minimise relativity effects.

    You need to upgrade to .1 version first. When done and back on desktop, open Registry Editor and double click string ContentType in key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability to open it for edit.

    Type new value Skip, do not save yet (do not click OK or hit Enter). Open Settings app > Insider settings, switch to Skip ahead, immediately switch to registry editor and click OK to save that new value Skip to string ContentType, restart immediately leaving registry editor and Settings open.

    When restarted, registry editor opens automatically because it was left open when restarted. Just close it. Check the Insider settings, you should now be in Skip ahead, WU start downloading .1000 version.
    Worked first time - many thanks.

    Many thanks - I have to say I am always amazed how people come up with these workarounds!
    @Martin as so often kudos needs to go where kudos belongs: I just made tiny changes to these instructions posted by @tracit99.

    Another thing where the idea came from a fellow member, some time ago I read a post by @Superfly where he presented a work in progress, a PowerShell script to update W10 install media. Can't find that post now.

    Anyway, as the Media Feature Pack is just a normal .msu update package, you could use the following script I made to add cumulative updates downloaded from Microsoft Update Catalog to your W10 install media, to keep it up to date so that you don't have to spend first hour after clean install to bring a XXXXX.0 build to XXXXX.789 or whatever.

    Just save the script with .ps1 extension, open elevated PowerShell, set PS execution policy to unrestricted:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser

    ... and run the script following on-screen instructions to make a PRO N install media which already contains Media Feature Pack. Much easier than capturing updated install.wim. Script updates your USB or ISO.

    The script:

    Anybody else notice that when using Microsoft Edge you can no longer use the space bar to scroll web pages. This function appears to have been dropped several builds ago but not sure which one was the culprit.

    Good answer to narrow it down yet again. Let's narrow it down to the lowest common denominator > There are no absolutes. One can come close, but not absolute.

    Another thing where the idea came from a fellow member, some time ago I read a post by @Superfly where he presented a work in progress, a PowerShell script to update W10 install media. Can't find that post now.

    Anyway, as the Media Feature Pack is just a normal .msu update package, you could use the following script I made to add cumulative updates downloaded from Microsoft Update Catalog to your W10 install media, to keep it up to date so that you don't have to spend first hour after clean install to bring a XXXXX.0 build to XXXXX.789 or whatever.

    Just save the script with .ps1 extension, open elevated PowerShell, set PS execution policy to unrestricted:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser

    ... and run the script following on-screen instructions to make a PRO N install media which already contains Media Feature Pack. Much easier than capturing updated install.wim. Script updates your USB or ISO.

    The script:

    Cheers again - will give it a go.

    As a slight aside , I bet there are loads of people who have recently joined Insider on N versions because they were never told you can't!

    I only found out by reading another forum as user was asking about media pack for N Insider versions.

    It never occurred to us "intellectuals" that MS would change the rules without telling us - LOL.

    Here's the easiest way to run it, shown in screenshots:

    1.)

    Announcing Windows 10 Insider Fast Build 16257 PC + 15237 Mobile-image.png

    2.)

    Announcing Windows 10 Insider Fast Build 16257 PC + 15237 Mobile-image.png

    3.)

    Announcing Windows 10 Insider Fast Build 16257 PC + 15237 Mobile-image.png

    You can of course use it to update any W10 USB or ISO, not only to update N with Media Feature Pack.
