  1. Hello,
    Installing preview 18329.1 takes a long long time… (close to 7 hours) and not already finished.
    This update makes a lot of download so much that the system seems to loop the download cycle…
    Regards,
    Michel VDV

  2. I’ve got a few problems with 18334 : a very long time to open a movie, when deleting or moving a file ..not happening , i have to reboot to delete or move a file and my CPU is a bit high (at 15-25% ) in idle..nothing open , before it was at around 5%-10%. So i thing i’ll be gowing back to my old build that was working very good

  3. same problems as bogdan. and now i seem to not be able to get this build? even had a ms tech person browse my machine. he said vague im all up to date. and the new build is installed. but it
    still says 18334. i really would like the new build.

    maybe its just slow coming to me? i am in germany.

  4. After installing Windows 10 19H1 Insider Preview Build 18353 all of my Office 365 applications say they are expired and throw this message when I try to verify the account:

    “problem installing the office product key system error: 0x80070005”

    I have tried reinstalling the Office suite to no avail.

    Any suggestions?

  8. Hello,

    I am an owner of a Dell Inspiron 17R 5737.
    After the April Update tried installing unsuccessfully on my machine my Airplane Mode got stuck on.
    When should I expect a fix for the Airplane Mode switch issue blocking WiFi?

  10. Hi VG,

    I am on Insider’s latest build 18885 on my second machine. I am trying to give an interpretation or explanation to the following message in Windows Insider Program’s settings:

    [Beginning of message] “This content is currently on an older release of Windows. If you select this, we will continue to send you content from your current release and will move you over as soon as possible.

    Pick your Insider Settings
    Choose which kind of preview builds you want and how often your device gets one

    Fast or Skip (in grey area)
    Be the first to give Microsoft feedback on the newest preview builds of Windows. You will get an OS update once or twice a week, which will require a reboot” [end of message]

    When one clicks on the grey area, a new window opens with choices for “Slow”, “Fast”, “Release preview”, “Skip”, all preceded by a radio button to tick. My problem stems from the fact that I had the same message on the build previous to 18885.1000. After updating to the latter, I am still getting the same message. I would like to have your take on this and if you understand what exactly MS wants.

  11. ^^ Those are different branch to receive different Windows 10 Insider Preview builds.

    If you want to get maximum possible stable builds, select Release Preview or Slow. If you want to test new builds with new features, select Fast but they may contain bugs and issues. Skip will take you to the next upcoming feature update testing builds but its same as Fast at the moment.

  14. i think its time for a clean install. do to vmware leaving random used machines after i installed it. what would be a good iso to start from again. im already on 188875, and besides some speed issues. its ok

  15. Nowday has windows update installing went slower older days has faster. If USB devices is connected PC then installing update is slow. I use lenovo laptop and has such problem. PC can use much better RAM if reading and installing update

  16. What a Croc, I’ve so far tried to install this build 8 times now, and it’s either getting stuck at getting things ready 70% and then crashing out, or it actually starts to download, gets to about 2% and then crashes out. I’ve gone through all the resetting of the update components, the stopping of services and deleting the software distribution folder etc EVERYTIME it crashes, and it still won’t install. If it carries on like this, then I’m going to put a hammer through the hdd, about time microsoft got their act together.

  17. I have been trying different windows 10 insiders versions during 2015-2017 (?, not sure).

    I am mainly using windows 10 pro build 1803 in my working computer, which has ASUS Motherboard PK5 and in it old bios from the year 2008. Now I cannot update my 1803 build further to 1809 or 1903.

    Do you think it would be possible install insider version 19H1 or 20H1 instead of 1903?

  18. ^^ You can install preview builds but I’ll advise to use stable build on working computers.

  19. So i was Poking around and found Settings for Memory integrity… under core isolation. It requires Hyper-V to run. I have a Ryzen cpu (Ryzen Master) and like happen to like bluestacks. Neither one likes Hyper-V. I am a basic home user, with up to date anti-virus and Windows. Are there attacks out there that enabling it would protect? what would you recommend?
    Thank you for your time ,
    your constant reader

  20. ^^ If you are using an updated antivirus and firewall software, you don’t need to worry.

  24. finally! i have been trimming my ssd through windows almost everyday wondering if there was a problem with my drives. now its just a bug. ok whew

  25. Hello Sir,

    Can you see the double profile picture in Windows 10 build 19041
    Settings >> Accounts >> Your Info
    And what the use of this.

    //Screenshot
    i.imgur.com/CMljuk1.png

  27. Add Taskbar Rendering Issues in the Known Issues Section.. Its been persistent through 2 builds now.

  29. I keep getting BSOD everytime this update tries to install. It doesn’t continue at all. Good thing it just reverts it prior to installation but it’s annoying that it keeps nagging me to install the update and restart and just goes through the same loop. Build 21301

  30. “News and Interest” is not showing in my taskbar from the last three dev builds.
    Please suggest any fix.
