[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

Well I managed to boot into safe mood without network. Desktop had a box with Explorer. Eye hard error, I did task manager relaunch Explorer got to control panel and found a restore point before the 2vm install, it's restoring now, let's see what happens

 

The restore point fixed the issue it seems, however the start menu does not work anymore.

Edit: i did the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\EnableXamlStartMenu - DWORD 0 trick and i got a start menu back

 

parallels desktop 10 works perfect no error same with vmware workstation 11

 

I managed to install Vmware workstation. I have no idea what hapenned earlier ...

 

just to recap: You said you didn't mess but it messed itself ... hope you must not laugh about yourself since you said you altered the registry ...
glad to see you back in a nice environment

 

VMware Player v7 is working fine for me: OS/2 Warp and Ubuntu 14.10 running smooth, and OS X 10.10 not so smooth.

Wheres the fun in that.

Welcome to the world of beta testing, where anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
At least twice a day.

 

Is there a way to change the Lock Screen Picture on Build 9926 if it's activated?

 

there you go

 

That option is not avaiable. I found the solution, clear file explorer history.

 

Well it sucks that I keep getting the Black Screen of Death in 9926. Kept on downgrading until I can't get it anymore.

 

Thanks, I knew the location and what to change but my machine would lock up as soon as I tried to select the background tab. I didn't know if it were something related to the Technical Preview Build. Reloaded the OS and all is fine.
there you go

Speaking about fun, I guess you could try to speculate on the WMC question you mentioned.... now, on theory, the WMC key could only be applied to a retail key activated win8/8.1 Pro, that means you couldn't use the same OS to get 2 win10 keys(one from the retail key, one from the WMC key).

So, if your WMC was activated by "some other means(like the dat thing)", I wonder if you could get a win10 key out of it, even if the key is legit and activated directly on-line.

Of course, ATM it's all guesses and speculations.

 

I wonder if it would work. I may try it sometime.

 

AMD card? If so it's not a Windows 10 issue. It's AMD and their junk drivers.

 

Card info please?

 

all versions of virtualbox are known to cause problems with TP 9901 upwards. the system is always rendered un-bootable even after successful installation. the only way i have managed to run virtualbox, is through virtualbox-portable. if you managed to reboot the system after installing virtualbox, i would request you to share the exact steps for the benefit of the community.

If you change the branchname to fbl_impressive now windows update tries to get the new build.
