I do not understand why the idiots removed it in the first place - the feedback official reply was "why do you need it?" !!!!!

Really!?! What a reply. Touch or no touch, an efficient keyboard is always a must. Most stuff I do involves 95% of a full sized Scandinavian keyboard. There is my reply to the question.

Hi,
@fjk61011: Why did you use that edition to do a clean install while *99.15 is already out ?
No offense intended, just curious.

Cheers,

Just wanted see what the ISO was like. Then Upgraded to 16299.15.

I recently read an article where it was said that some of the functions of Story Remix were reaching the general public, well, last night I received a big, big update for the photos app in this build, added all the new features, the search bar, the previous view and suggestions in the above and all the new functions of Story remix, curiously, in the article that I read said that the 3D effects were not available, but they arrived to me with this gigantic update, I love the new sounds that have been added over time to Story Remix, there is plenty to choose from, from Vivaldi to rock and now there is a preview of those sounds before adding them to the video.

Thank god i still have movie maker. This app is not in the 16299.15 iso package yet. insider product?

This might or might not be RTM....if so there remains an awful lot to be done before it can be released to the general public.
Have just done an Upgrade from 1703 Build 15063.632 to Insider 16299.15. on an SP4 Pro i7 with download speed of 250mbs.

The Update took believe it or not just over two hours fifteen minutes....this included an unwanted break after about an hour
Numerous times I clicked Retry......Unable to update files due to error 0x80070020....a search revealed this indicated computer needed to be restarted.....then to again click Retry.

If this was released as an "Update" to the outside world in its present state, dustbins would be full of unwanted computers.

There is a lot of new functionality in the supposed RTM. I had to dig fairly deep to find the new stuff while, some popped out immediately. Gonna be fun playing around with this one. Install was perfect, with some resetting of drivers etc, expected, everything passed the sfc /scannow and dism health. I actually reclaimed more real estate on the SSD about 2GB worth. total. dumped out after install about 25GB of old stuff. This update was done over top of the 16xxx.xxx (what ever that last cumulative ud was (already forgot that one).

I started the download at 3:22 PM. At midnight it was still installing. I left it run and when I woke up this morning it was finally installed and running. I wish MS would give us the option to choose between UUP or ESD.

Before downloading the 17004 upgrade, I had never had a build upgrade done under 4 and a half hours since introduction of UUP in December 2016. At least three three hours to "Restart now", then at least 90 minutes to restart to desktop.

When 17004 was announced, I turned firewall off and completely disabled Windows Defender, my chosen AV protection. I got to "Restart now" in under 90 minutes, over half from previous record, and restart to desktop was done in just under an hour. Still not as fast as with ESD upgrades, but at least I could cut the time required to half.
