[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

I have it on

 

9926 is very unstable. My taskbar is stuck!

 

. I tend to disagree here. Mine has been working with minimum issues.

 

The problem is clearly at VirtualBox.

That Android Apps is pre-installed on VirtualBox 4.3.20, no way to change, all is hard-coded. You could even not download and install later! All you could do is download the installer file and run that and the real download starts. It does various install of files for VB, Android and so and the downloaded files disappears after (I wasn't able ti find them after installation)! I e-mailed that developer again but answer!

Finally I was need to do an re-install of build 9926, which is done now, and also need to start again to install all apps I basicly need on it. After done that, I'll make an WinToGo drive and also an Image from that HDD with HDClone. But VirtualBox and therefore Andyroid will not be installed for the time being.

no issues here....so far so good

 

It's been solid here too. It's just the Start Menu acting up. But it will be fixed in the next builds and I can't wait for it.

 

All good here - would like to get rid of Quick access and OneDrive in File Explorer.

 

(build 9926). Impressed with hardware detection during the install. Didn't need to install any drivers.
also, In Disc Cleanup, found 3.09GB of unnecessary system compression files. Dunno what they are but I removed them.

 

Hay Bchat,

You can switch from 'Quick Access' to 'This PC' from the 'File Explorer Options' in control panel
can't help with OneDrive tho, sorry mate.

I hope Microsoft will keep the Start Screen registry tweak (Option for people who still need that).

 

Disable Onedrive:

Open gpedit.msc

Expand Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / OneDrive

Settings:

Code:

Save documents to Onedrive by default = Disabled
Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storge = Enabled
Prevent OneDrive files from syncing over metered connections = Enabled

Regedit Disable OneDrive and Remove Icon from Explorer:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Onedrive]
"DisableLibrariesDefaultSaveToOneDrive"=dword:00000001
"DisableFileSync"=dword:00000001
"DisableMeteredNetworkFileSync"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Onedrive]
"DisableLibrariesDefaultSaveToOneDrive"=dword:00000001
"DisableFileSync"=dword:00000001
"DisableMeteredNetworkFileSync"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=dword:f090004d

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=dword:f090004d

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=dword:f090004d

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=dword:f090004d

Best to use both methods.

 

Reminds me of a couple of questions I have been wanting to ask, but keep forgetting...

Q: I don't recall seeing a root directory named RecoveryImage in earlier builds (or did I just miss it?) This looks like a self-repair system, maybe,
and includes a 3.5GB file named install.wim...which I assume is the original 9926 install data.

Edit: Ran cleanup to check here on my system (booting from Win10)--nope, it doesn't return anything even close to ~3GBs. Hmmmm...wonder what you found there...

Q: Anyone notice how the dual-boot menu system in 8.1/10 is sort of screwed up? At least, that's the case in my UEFI system. Instead of presenting the user with a choice of OS boot partition, and then booting straight to that partition, the default OS boots itself about ~50% and then displays the boot menu...! The disadvantage is that when choosing the non-default OS the system has to reboot a second time to clear the default OS and boot from the non-default OS partition. The advantage is that boot time from the default OS is near instantaneous because most of it is already loaded when the menu presents... But maybe this is just the way it works in my UEFI system with secure boot turned on. Comments?

 

nm..somebody already posted a solution.

 

1. Post 964458, Post 964481
2. Post 992173 . Use visualbcd to remove leftovers from setup and hibernate loader+winRE of previous system. BCD timeout 0 is also posted 3 days ago in Insider Hub announcements
