I have and I know too well Microsoft Edge is a very good browser. The fact is right there on my Windows 10 system and I don't need anybody to tell me that. However, it is still going through development and I can say I am impressed by the work done by Microsoft so far. You are the one trying to brainwash me into believing the browser is crappy when it is not. The least encouraging thing about your posts is that you haven't been able to provide the reasons why you think it is crappy more than the usual innuendos.
Hi, folks. I've popped back anonymously to MDL, here and there, over the years. I'm currently on the Insider Preview 14393.3 that upgraded off of RTM, originally, as my installation was a bit flaky (and that seemed to fix it [I've been going through a few months' worth of preview releases]). Initially, as far as I understood, you were able to permanently stop preview builds but now, it seems, you can't. My system, embarrassingly, is fairly mission critical in the sense that I can't really afford [time-wise] to do a clean reinstall and just want to be able to find away, with the Anniversary Update, to get myself back onto the stable release branch. I was thinking that I may be able to 'dirty patch' my installation, perhaps with a media install and then perform an 'upgrade' on that but I'm not certain that will remove my Insider Preview state. Sorry if this isn't quite the right place but I wanted to ask if anyone here knows any way for me to escape from the claws of the preview builds and get back to stable releases, without a reinstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
14393 being the base for the stable build coming next august 2nd, why going thru the troubles doing it?
Is it ok to integrate 14393.5 into a iso with 14393.3 already integrated, or is it best to integrate it into a base 14393 iso?
Unless I'm misunderstanding you, my reason is because I'm trying to get out of the Insider Preview builds ...but without having to perform a clean install.
You can really opt-out in the latest few builds, you only won't be able to get the insider updates anymore (till it gets publicly released) after opting out. There won't be any roll back as far as i tested doing it.
So, I could shift to 'Release Preview' but that's as far as it would let me go. So, should I keep it on 'Fast Ring', or just push it to 'Release Preview' and apply the maximum pause on Insider builds? I'm assuming that I'll get a stable release update on the 2nd of August and, after that update, it'll allow me to opt out. Is that correct?
Yup; but my point is that it'll only give me a temporary X-day handbrake on opting out and not a permanent opt-out. What I'm asking is whether doing that for the maximum and keep topping it up until the 2nd will then suggest the stable build to me, after which I can opt out properly.
There should be a link on the next popup when you opt out, above/below the dropdown for how many days, it lets you opt-out 100%, already been discussed in this thread
Ah, my bad. It's late. Sorry. >.< I'll hop back on my rig and give it a whirl. Edit: It worked! Just a matter of waiting now, I guess. Thank you very much. ;-)
There were over 100 pages and the amount of times I had clicked 'Need to stop getting Insider builds completely?' wasn't going to trigger me to know that you could do so now. I had sort of given up on clicking that link over many months. ...but thanks anyway, you were correct. Much appreciated.
