Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast Build 16281 for PC Insider

Hmm tempting, if I do nothing and don't install this, will it just let me skip it until the next fast ring build is available?
Not much to excite me in this build...

I still cannot place my PC in sleep without a restart. I am tired of sending reports to the HUB and them asking for my email addy and never respond. The next time I see RS3 will be on or about 10.17.2017. This is the only problem I have with it but I am not going to shut off my PC 5 or six times a day. The same thing happens with Hibernation.

Josey, there are just some rigs that will not sleep for some unknown reasons. I suggest you start a thread on the issue to see how many others have the problem.

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.

Morse Code! LOL!

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.

Smokin! :)

This time I decided to clock the process. Here are the results:

Please refer to my hardware specs (System 1) for system info and configuration.

You're just too organized! One of these days I will be too.

Upgrading took one hour and 30 minutes. All went well.

Copying from my Modem-Router:

Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1.003 / 6.029

No other broadband package available for sale in my area.

NOTE: [perhaps I should not calculate it like this but...] With "Upgrading" I mean, upgrading, running Disk Cleanup, clean-installing the latest NVIDIA driver, running CCleaner, and disabling Hibernation. And all the rebooting required in-between.

We men don't like to mention cleaning. Then everyone will think we are willing to do it all the time.

I forgot to mention that when I turned my insider machine on this morning, I was greeted with this message:

Attachment 151534

Glad you got 'er done. I'm not especially liking the graphics in 10 these days. Kind of "cartoony".

I don't mean to leave anyone out. Glad to see you fast ringers are having success.

When it comes to statistics, one can never be too organized. Values has to be separated properly so they have meaning and can be compared later with new values. :)

You are, of course, correct. I meant that as a compliment, although I see I should've phrased it better. My ADD at times doesn't allow me to.....Hey, did you see that?!!!
