[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Build 10586 (v1511/th2)

I ran WU on 2 Win10 Pro systems to get 1511 and both are fine. I will add that neither had any tweaks or changes done to the system other than installing FF. I am curious if there is something most had changed or tweaked prior to the update. Clean install is always my preferred but tried the update just to see.

 

Yeah, I agree that clean installs are best, and always did that for customers. But on my own I had too many tweaks and other things set up to start over so I upgraded from 7 to th1 and from th1 to th2. So far, so good, with a little luck!

 

The regedit search problem also happens on clean installs. Just checked on a desktop that had it after the upgrade, and a clean install didn't solve it.

 

It seems with this build the file explorer will crash on run if you have 175% DPI scaling enabled.

 

MS has stated that one cannot turn this off.

Wait, what? That little beacon has to do with location, and you're saying that they said that the Location control in Settings has no control over it? Do you recall where they said this? It might explain what it's doing in this context.

 

Mine is upgrade with Media Creation Tool and is even faster. And no other problems at all.

 

Wow--you're right! Couldn't do anything as far as opening files. Tried system restore with my install disk but it said I had no restore points even though I swear I did. Couldn't run in safe mode either. I had to restore my backup, luckily just from yesterday. I'm running at 125% now without problems. Have you tried 150% or 200%?

 

after the upgrade tiles on start are blurry when tablet mode is enabled. with previous build was ok...

 

I found when location turned off, under location history, click clear so a tick shows next to clear. worked here

 

150% and 200% worked fine here, it's just 175% that causes the crash.

 

Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586. keeps failing when installing through windows update

Weird. Guess won't be using that. Thanks for responding.

I have 2 desktop computers that are stuck at 44% no matter how I try to install

 

Same problem.

 

I do a clean install with the MSDN iso and I have the same problems. It doesnt matter the origin of the iso. It always fail

Hi everyone! Sorry if this has already been replied to elsewhere, but I was wondering: since build 10586 now accepts Windows 7 product keys, does it mean it will also accept OEM SLP keys (if the BIOS has a valid SLIC of course)? Thanks in advance!

 

Only Windows 8.x SLIC keys seem to be supported. Windows 7 keys have to be entered manually or an in place upgrade has to be done.
