I have merged a number of threads with this one to make the forum tidy. Please don't create new threads just to post bug reports or new findings; check the appropriate stickies instead.
Remember any bug reports are only to inform others of the issues. All bugs and anomalies should be reported to Microsoft, it's the whole purpose of the technical preview .
I'm having this issue too but If i'm using this as my main os; it's going to be rather frustrating too do a clean install for every new TP release..
Yep that works as does killing ApplicationFrameHost.exe, which lends to the assumption that it's a metro window manager bug.
I've been trying to download the new preview build for the last 2 days, it still isn't completing. In my "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" folder there is 1 folder with 2 files, one is 2.71Gb and the other is 2Mb.. and it still shows 'Downloading...'. Any idea what gives?
Try restarting the PC if it doesn't resolve the problem delete the download file and stat download again or u can just download the esd file and fresh install it
In the case of preview builds, it's your responsibility to find beta drivers to install, not Microsoft's. If it were the final build and they didn't have a working driver, that would be very different.
You need to find the drivers. Check with the mfg website, sometimes older drivers work, sometimes the latest, it can be a crap shoot at times with these not-ready-for-prime-time OSes.
more data mining. seriously, it's a good approach for MS, but do they think that corp's are going to want to do that. as far as retail customers go some will and some won't. i myself refuse to sign up for a Store account of MS account. next could come a marketing nightmare. if that is going to be their policy, on a retail copy it will have to be stated clearly on the box that you need a store account. or maybe they're going to go the D/L only route, with no store sales. it doesn't really matter because MS makes just about all there money on new computer sales, and far less on actual upgrades or full installs. g/l to them.
maybe the esd doesn't install the data mining, because it's an upgrade and uses the older files. yeah right we should be so lucky.
you think MS would think of something as simple as that. now the question that needs to be asked is what exactly is it doing behind the scene that kicks back an error from one of their own AV ( should we call it that ) programs.
No, the Operating System is not complete without a cliche launch that Microsoft must do. Also the features inside Windows 10 are dull and boring. Most of these features have been in Apple OSX and Linux for at least 10 years. I mean maybe the reason for adding them is to make it look like MS is no longer a dick to the people who don't have a Touch Screen computer.
damn that was a long post. just let me say that if i had that problem it would bug the hell out of me i would do the same thing and ask if anyone had a fix. the computer info would be helpful if it is a simple driver problem. as far as MS not spending time developing this or that because somebody is looking to fix such a problem is exactly what the Technical Preview is for. imho your post was uncalled for and made a new member feel that their problem was insignificant and not worthy of anyones time.
Actually I agree with Vali20 completely post wise. I really have no clue why Windows 10 is under the current development plan. Microsoft is not apple as it is trying to look stream lined. The current changes in the operating system are so minor they at most would not be recognized if you compared Windows 10 Alpha build 9860 to Windows 8.1 Update 1 build 9600. Yes I understand that your trying to draw attention to the fact that your fixing the abomination called Windows 8 however this is not the right way to do it. I note all the changes that are being incorporated into Windows 10 but testing it out in such a fashion is premature. At least give this operating system to the developers then show us a Beta and not a rushed out s**tty Alpha. That has not even been Feature locked let alone locked down for what the overall vision of the OS is. I have no idea what the end result of this rushing will be but this does not make the development environment any better.
just saw Tito's post 1 page back about merging threads. was wondering why there was so much for me to read after just 24 hours. now all i've got to do is D/L the new build. hopefully all the hoopla has died down and the servers aren't being over run.
