Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast+Skip Build 17046 for PC Insider

Yes, Macrium Image Guardian is OK and does not cause any issues. It's just CBT (Changed Block Tracker) in build 17035 or later that's causing an issue.

Fast fix is to modify Reflect installation, disable CBT and reboot.

Yeah - I have both disabled but will probably reactivate MIG.

TBH I do not really know what CBT does. From its description, it seems to be geared towards the corporate market. My backups and restores are perfectly adequate in terms of speed for my needs. I am more than happy to disable CBT in the meantime if that keeps FOD working. Of course, Macrium Reflect CBT issue will be fixed long before RS4 is released.

The 2 VMware VMs are chugging along at 66% so I figured I might as well fire up my Third VM which is nested in a virtual ESXi Server. I had to verify my identity on that one and it is now starting the upgrade process. It's a race among these VMs - if one or both of the original 2 VMs completes (they are both at 66% installing) and I can create an ISO and transfer it to one of my external hard drives before the update on the ESXi is finished I''l delete that VM and use the ISO to create a new nested VM with 17046. Let the games begin.

What do you mean by "Dump"?

I posted a link for a video showing how to use it - it is pretty easy

ISO made > Restart. This is cutting into my nap time, Dona. Please either release earlier or later.

That just shifts issue for us in rest of world! You guys across the Pond get it at most optimum time. It is late evening before we get it - even later would be a nightmare for us. As for Aussies.....

Installed build 17046 with no difficulties. ISO completed. Build looks OK.

UUP Dump is the colloquial term for the storage site on MS servers that contains copies of all UUP files that are downloaded for all versions of Windows 10 going back to early uup based releases.

Now we have all discovered how to use it, we can easily create Fast Ring isos without having to download the update files and then create iso before hitting restart now.

Moreover, it helps in case where people cannot update via uup. @Kari wrote a great tutorial how to create an iso for a clean install when you cannot update which basically required installing release version in a VM, joining Fast Ring, then updating and creating iso in our normal way.

This new method basically shortcuts it all, and you do not need to even be using a Fast Ring build. I guess we need a tutorial but here is a video I produced
