[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Build 10240

No, it shouldn't - nothing in that windows.old folder should be in use by the new windows install

For one, the permissions would be wrong anyway

 

I clicked ''I own it'', any way to get rid of it ?

 

Hi everyone .. After upgrading to this build from the previous one now I am not able to create a new folder on desktop but I can create on any other place except the desktop

Are you signing in with your MS account number

 

WOW!!!!!!

 

I use Local Account(Admin of course).

 

ermm, if u don't have photo's app it will launch in paint, LOL, no other option

 

i run it in admin and none admin mode and still it does not remove......does not matter we all have to do a clean install in the end

 

I don't know then unless you sign in with MS account, sorry

You can try and run in admin Cmd prompt sfc /scannow

 

i dont have photo's app and it launched for me nps, when i right click any photo on windows 10 10240 i get 4 options, top one says photos, and the other 3 say...


1 powerdvd 15

2. paint

3 look for an app in the store

its really simple to understand and in an easy place to find....again i dont use apps for my photos as its really easy to locate.

 

Must be some kinda bug, always worked for me, but your right the 29th comith

 

you are referring to Photos App in Start Menu?

 

i think so to.....

 

well all I know is that they removed the ability to view pics in the photo viewer, u have to use photos app....


UNLESS u upgrade, then it keeps the "older" version

 

does it come up all the time or when your trying to do something specific?

 

Do this and it will:

Delete "Windows.old" Folder in a Command Prompt at Boot
diskpart
list volume
exit
RD /S /Q "X:\Windows.old"


X:=Drive letter for windows.old

 

I feel a "Hint" in thar

 

Privacy - General in this tab i can't change a setting, other tabs seem fine. Also it controls the advanced options tab in windows update.

 

i like photo app better than viewer.
