Thanks Nick
The previous upgrade 10041 update normally on my connection. The problem is not that. Is something with this build on my computer. After reqeust the update the windows found the new updates but the download did not start, i was monitoring the nwtwork status and nothing is beeing transfered.
It's not in the router or wireless card rating. It's on your connection speed and wifi bottleneck. Even a smartphone on facebook can slow down your laptop connection big time.
It only took me 25minutes to finish 10049 upgrade on wired internet. That will take up to 2 hrs using wireless connection.
My main PC is permanently wired but it also has a built-in wireless card that I never use. I have a dual-band 750 Mbps main router and a dual-band 450 Mbps access point.
Initially I clean installed the first W10 release preview on a brand new SSD, this being the sole O/S on this particular computer.
All updates have been performed in fast mode, yet not once have I had any problems updating.
Admittedly I have a fairly fast broadband download speed of 100mbps.
This suggests taking into account the above that M$ have managed the updating process to their satisfaction, and that there are other reasons as to why some people or their computers are having problems.
Like you I prefer the W8.1 Start Screen and have informed insider hub, but cannot expect M$ to please everyone.

Huh!?! Nope, I haven't missed any points at all! Microsoft wants feedback. Last time I checked, it wasn't limited to such a narrow margin that we don't get to check everything possible out.
I am not bored; far from it. Curiosity kilt da ferret? Nah, I don't think so.
You make some pretty bad accusations, but that's OK. I will continue to test Windows 10 to the best of my ability.
What's ironic is that I've now been accused of being both too serious about the TP and now you say I have a mixture of boredom and curiosity. Hmmm, maybe that's what it takes to check Windows 10 Technical Preview all the way.
Oh, well, I'll continue on with my testing . . .
