[DISCUSSION] Windows 10/11 Insider Preview Build 21996.1 (PC) [FAST/Dev Channel - co_release] [LEAK]

Mate, had this problem on two old laptops. To install get Boot And Upgrade FiX KiT v1.3 here - https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...nel-co_release-leak.83658/page-4#post-1666239. Use Option 2, put Windows 11 Iso in Source_Iso folder and run it. Then you get a new Iso file that will install easy as.

I am sure if it persists to the RTM version there will be a work around.

 

I had it run on a ten year old netbook. I don't think we'll be struggling to run it on old hardware.

 

Has anyone else observed that notepad is broken in 21996.1? Or is it just something mucked up with my install?

The system cannot find the file C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe.

Notepad works fine. I use it a lot.

 

Is working for me just fine.

 

Thanks. I guess it is just me. Got it fixed, though not sure how I broke it.

 

Yes, Tablet mode now integrated in system and enabled by default for system with touch screen.

 

Do you have source for this info ?

Sometimes this build is freezing.

 

Notepad and the paint are uwp apps :/

For those interested, the latest public Nvidia driver (driver version 471.11, released today) has WDDM 3.0 support. So for those running insider builds, or this leaked build of Windows 11 might benefit from this driver, I guess.

It only in the installer there are several methods to workaround this but from hat people are guessing it is not going to be in the final release. I am running it on an old laptop late 2005-2006 without tpm/uefi/secureboot and it works great. Go to the op and there is a tool there to help bypass the requirement.

Actually no tool is really needed. Just apply install.wim with dism or Dism++.

 

@Enthousiast 's script installer for my diskpart/setup script just automates that for people. If you know your way around diskpart, there's no need. Most people don't know how to make the proper partitions for GPT with UEFI booting. You need an EFI system partition and a system boot partition. Then you need the obvious main partition for the files.

The five main steps are:
1) diskpart clean the target drive
2) diskpart create the 3 partitions if UEFI or 1 if BIOS boot
3) diskpart assign a drive letter for the system partition
4) dism /apply-image the windows index onto the system partition
5) bcdboot the system x:\windows for example

 

Yes absolutely agreed. most people dont know as most asking for workaround for that unsupported hardware for 21996 build n enthousiast tool does the job in a correct way with your awesome diskpart script tool.

 

In Windows 11?
Could you post a screenshot?

Thanks

 

So I'm not the only one experiencing that.
