Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Skip Ahead Build 16362 for PC Insider

I'm still fighting with stupid thing where CD/DVD drives are not reading disks. It's placed in DM as "Disk drive" and removable. Changed drivers for chipset and GPU to every single one I had, changed 3 CD/DVD drives and still same thing. Had it once but lost on first update. Really don't know who or what to blame any more., AMD for interloping drivers or MS for windows and driver handling. BIOS is not in play as it works fine in W7 and Mint on same machine.
Inquired at Asus, AMD and MS but no answers worth mentioning, everybody is laying blame on others.

Does it somehow think it's associated with a USB port?

You can get the system to spill all it knows about all USB everything with this little goodie. Get it from MG: Download USBDeview - MajorGeeks

Didn't think of that, there are some unknown devices.

I am so bored with Skippy - it really has not set the world alight with anticipation.

I know we do not get much in way of new features early in a new build, but it would have been nice to see something eg timeline has been in development for months - it would have been nice to get early sight of that, even if buggy for example.

In the end, it has only been about seeing a few updated apps - notably photos with storey remix being main offering.

I think MS wasted an opportunity here to get early quality feedback and frankly when Skippy 2 comes out in early next year, I do not think I will bother with it.

I agree with you. For all I know we may never get a 17xxx build until after Oct 17th. I have a Hyper-V and VMware VM of 16296 and would be prepared to start the upgrade process from what seems to be the final official Microsoft Insider Advanced build of 16278 but we zero information coming from Dona or Shawn.

As soon as I'm sure I get RTM I'm going to do clean install, with all this experimenting with HW and drivers system got dirty. My last clean install was AU.

I am happy to explain it to you!

The whole Insider Team is this week in Orlando, Florida, attending MS Ignite event. That is quite relevant to us Insiders as well as to whole Insider program. Therefore, as an Insider, I posted the tweet from Joe Camp, one of the Windows Insider MVP bosses to mark the occasion,

That post quoted below:




Another member replied immediately with this:




So, to answer your question, I wrote that post you are asking about as an explanation to this fellow member, in my way explaining that my post about Insider team at MS Ignite was at least as relevant to topic as some odd screenshots of various virtual machines. In my opinion it really is relevant, personally I will keenly follow events at MS Ignite as much as possible.

Please let me know if you require further explanations.

No, I was only wondering why you would not just ignore the poster. My question was NOT about your original post but your response to the member that sort of Dissed you. I myself did not see a problem with your original post.

You asked why I posted what I posted, I explained it as well as I could. In my opinion, leaving a question directly addressed to me unanswered would be impolite.

A global community like TF with 100K+ members, each and every of us who have been here a bit longer have some members we dislike. I for instance know for sure that I am on quite a many ignore lists after correcting false information when the member in question does not tolerate being corrected, me having said something on a bad day they consider rude or various other reasons.

Some members choose another way to react to posts from members they dislike instead of ignore list, downplaying, depreciating and questioning the information given.

Whatever the reason, sometimes too much is too much. In this particular case, I felt offended when I posted something in my opinion quite relevant to topic of this thread, Insiders, Insider program and current affairs related to them, getting an almost instant and in my opinion rude reply "What does this have to do with us?". That reply clearly had one point only, and I reacted with the reply you then asked about.

Because the reply I got directly questioned the relevance about the information I had given in my post, I felt it important to compare the relevance of it to relevance of some posts of this member.

Extremely sincere,

Kari
