No joy on the upgrade or the clean install!

Thanks for your assistance though! :)

Can you elaborate on what you experienced. I installed with no problems from the same ISO in a VM

Well, I now have 17040 on my amd device, and return of the "standard" touchscreen keyboard for en-gb at last.

HOWEVER, the new keyboard size is totally ridiculous taking nearly 50% of the screen size. In part it is due to the setting icon being above the keyboard adding an extra 1cm to height. Yet there is bags of space either side of keyboard to place icon.

Then I click on mini keyboard and it is too small to be of any practical use!

HOW can the MS designers get it so badly wrong!

People have complained on Hub,and I upvoted their feedback!

I feel your pain. Seems MS is not always following their own guidlines.

It is very important that a touch keyboard is exactly the size of a real keyboard...no matter resolution or screen size. It is dissapointing that MS hasn't put more effort into scaling of there virtual keyboards to fit any fingers and hand sizes.

I'm not. I'm more than anxious for the next build. What will they add? what will they fix? What will the break? Come on Dona, bring it on. :)

You will need to wait until Weds at the earlierst. They have many layers of review before they unleash a build on us.

Sorry to hear that, Edwin.

Shut down the Asus, went to take a nap, and after booting up I had a Start screen with mostly blank tiles. Rebooted and all was fine. I experimented and shut it down again. Upon restart tiles were blank again. Rebooted and all was fine once again. Something upon cold start is happening. It's not hardware, for it doesn't happen on my FCU partition. I use mine full screen with "Show more tiles" options.

- same here, occasional glitch..
- I unpinned them from Start Menu and then repinned them - seems to clear it..

Definitely have to wait until MS says it's ready to release. When they do and if it's available I'm going to try the UUP Dump instead of the Windows Update.

Think I'll do same - always good to try new things.
