    Installation of Win10 build 10049 borked by update from MS


    I have managed to install Win10 build 10049 and get the Project Spartan icon to appear on the task bar.
    Spartan appeared to be working so I left the machine to do something else and an update arrived from MS which caused a Restart and after that the Win 10 is borked.
    The Windows key does not bring up anything although file explorer runs from the icon on the task bar.
    I cannot get to the apps.
    I am running this in a VirtualBox machine and this is the third attempt to get a working version of 10049.
    I found that 9926 installed cleanly and worked. When 10041 came out I let it update the 9926 but the result was not fully functional. I waited until 10041 came out as an ISO and installed that it also did not update properly to 10049 no Project Spartan and a similar hesitancy to bring up the apps screen. I then retried the 9926 build and allowed it to update to 10049. This was the best result so far, that is until MS updated it this morning.
    I cannot start a recovery from an image as I cannot get the start screen to get to the app.

    How do you recover from a failure such as this? Is there a sequence of keystrokes that will start the recovery process?

    I am also getting an error (cause unknown) which is illustrated in the attachment. This happens sometimes when I Shutdown. Any clues what is causing this could it be VBox?

    The 2 updates they released for Windows 10 TP 10049 killed the Store Beta & Photos app's on my pc. I'm really now starting to dislike Windows 10 and truly haven't seen a good enough reason to warrant a upgrade from Windows 8.1 Pro w/Media Center x64 to Windows 10 Pro. I already have a start menu and can run modern app's in 8.1 on the desktop, thanks to Stardock's Start8 and Modern Mix. Windows Media Player is still version 12 from Windows 7 in 10 and I don't see them updating to a newer version of Windows Media Center either. Cortana, the new photo's app and Project Spartan aren't good enough reason's for a desktop pc user to upgrade. DirectX 12 really isn't either.As far as DirectX 12 goes, yes current video card's that were purchased in the last 1-2 years will work with some of it's feature's, but not all of them. Considering DirectX 12 is still in beta, at this point, I don't beleive even the current AMD 2** or nVidia GeForce 9** series card's will truly support all the feature's of DX 12. Thus, we'll all need to put money out for the newest video card's and Xbox One's in October. Personally, I'm not buying any new hardware then for what truly appear's to be a unnecessary upgrade to 10.Microsoft can't even get it's own pre-installed app's to work in the last 2 builds of 10 out the gate. Mail, Calendar & People haven't worked and we need to run a administrative PowerShell commant to be able to re-install them to get them working again. The Store Beta app never downloads any updates (useless). Now after the 2 updates they released yesterday for Windows 10 TP 10049 the photo's app repeatedly crashes. I'm sorry Microsoft, I realize Windows 10 is still a beta, but it seems with every build you've released, more & more of Microsoft's pre-installed app's stop working properly. NOT GOO AT ALL!!!!!!!

    I have a question. Have you ever heard of paragraphs? Using the return key? This giant blob of text is very hard to read.

    You need to separate bugs in the development release from the OS itself. Bugs are expected, and just because you're frustrated by them doesn't mean that the final version of Windows 10 will have those bugs.

    You really don't know what Spartan will be like once finished, so it's not really possible for you to judge what the final will be. Again, you have to separate what your opinion of the half-finished work is from what the final will be.

    I fail to understand how apps not working in a beta is "not good at all" as if it's some judgment about the final version. Not everything gets fixed in every build, problems persist for several builds because they don't fit in the schedule to fix them yet. Sometimes things get worse before they get better because a whole bunch of stuff gets broken due to a small change, which needs to get fixed across the board to reflect that change.

    You simply can't know what the final will be like just because stuff gets broken in the beta. There's still a whole slew of new features coming.

    As for no reason to upgrade... Why would you NOT want to if its free? Seriously?

    That shutdown error is common. I get it all the time on Hyper-V as well.

    When 10049 was announced did you notice the issues warning about running Windows 10 in a VM environment?

    Here are some known issues for this build


    • After logging in, you may see a blue screen instead of your desktop. To work around this issue, lock your PC (with the hardware button or by pressing the Windows Key + L) and try logging in again. You can also try Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
    • Indexing of new email in Outlook is not working, so search results will be limited to when the last index was built.
    • If you have Virtual Machines hosted on your PC running Windows 10, you will want to move to the Slow ring and wait for the next build as this build breaks the ability to run VMs.

    It's pretty basic instinct to want something new to work properly right away, but that's not gonna happen here in the midst of development. So, just relax and wait.

    In fact I did read the warnings but what is the problem unless MS are told there is a problem they might never fix it. As for staying in the slow ring, forget it, I want to see all the new features as they are released so I can warn my customers about them. As for not running in a VM environment, What do you think my customers are going to do?

    Mystere: Just because it's free, doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be better.

    True.. and if you don't like it you don't have to use it/take it. So far, it's better overall for me.. but that's me and YMMV.
