Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Slow Build 16291 for PC Insider

Allrighty! A long waited build update! Making my usual system preparations and then sucking this one down. :)

UPDATE: OH, my system is already awaiting restart. NICE! Backing up UUP files and rebooting.

Well. That was interesting. Install went OK but couldn't run any programs elevated. They all crashed with a file system error. Tracked the problem down to a VirtualBox issue with OpenGL emulation. Unticked the VB setting on the display tab to enable 3D and all is well. It was not just 16291 it was any W10 version. Seems to be an issue with the update to VB a few weeks ago.

On 16291.0 now! So far so good...nothing out of the ordinary to report yet.

Downloading now.

Nice easy update....particularly pleasing after the last update debacle.

I have been abandoned - I must be on MS blacklist for daring to post on hub how bad how UUP was - LOL.

I have a total clean install of 12881 and done nothing except disable Cortana.

Tried all the usual tricks but still no updates.

Still, at the end of the day, I will simply clean install ACU when it comes out. Not worth wasting any more time on this.

Disabling Cortana, it being an integral part of W10, is the equivalent of purchasing a new car with two wheels missing.

Edge seems to be really fast and stable in this build. Even PDF reading with continuous scrolling enabled works really well. Hope you guys are experiencing same stability and performance as me.
