Slow ring 14965 to 14986 I'm guessing, I could be wrong but I thought UUP was only introduced in the fast-ring 14971 build so upgrading from anything older would be unable to use that but I could be wrong.
You are wrong. I am on 14971, changed from Fast Ring to Slow waited 24hr. then Downloaded 14986 and got install.esd the pre UUP Download way with no .reg hack.
Yep that's what I think too, 14971 was the first build to support UUP, so updating from any previous build would give a full ESD
Tried this build quickly, when did they revert the change that allowed you to uninstall few more apps? I know i tried a redstone 2 build that allowed you to remove mail app and few more.
