I spoke too soon - all of a sudden I have double and triple favorites - dirty rotten rasafrassing urgleslurp!

I am making progress - I WILL conquer the Edge favorites -

I'm finally downloading the update now, 24c. Earlier today, I couldn't save a bookmark in Edge. Had to revert back to Firefox. I'll turn Edge back on when this Build finishes installing.

Just out of curiosity - why do you shut it off? I leave mine on all the time.

I shut mine off at night as a matter of course, 24c. I have the desktop plus two monitors, so it's mostly for the economics of the matter. :)

Do I need Build 16273 installed first as 16281 is not showing in Windows Update, only 16273 available for download ? I had to roll back to 16257 due to stability issues.

From what I understand the answer to that is 16273 needs to be installed...but I may be wrong there. I had an issue of not being able to install 16215, did a clean install then stayed on the Slow Ring until the next Fast build came out and I then switch back to Fast and was ok.

Make sure you are set to Fast and not Slow.

On my 3rd try at the download I'm at 52% after 3.5 hours. Think they are sending it via Morse. WiFi signal strong as are download speeds...so I just have to wait.

Thanks for that, installed 16273 and Build 16281 now showing :)

Done. Took 2.5 hours, much longer than ever before.

Can't install Build 16281, I receive the following error in Windows Update:

"Windows 10 Insider Preview 16281.1000 (rs3_release) - Error 0xc0000005"

Just installed, and it only took me 20 to 25 minutes.
As usual, no problems at all.
But my Insider build is in a Hyper-V VM so it should go smooth.

My system is overclocked to 4.9GHz and I have 32GB RAM and the VMs can use as much as they need, as I have memory set to Dynamic, also the virtual machines are on a 3rd internal SSD, so even my VMs are running with higher specs than most off the shelf machines.
