@endbase: OK, I installed Silverlight, which was offered by Update this morning, and after done that "Check for updates" were gone. I think it will come back if the next update is available. Regarding .NET 3.5, I'd send an report to MS already abut it. To do and install of an older Build, install .NET 3.5 and than update again to 9901, isn't a way to go. And at this time nobody will know what happen by the next leak?! It could be better and it could be worse! Don'gt know why the devs at Moborobo still using that old .NET 2.0 which is outdated already! Maybe it has something to do with Android OS because that Apps is mainly used for to get an Smart Phone connected to the PC for to maintain and exchange data and most Smart Phones and Tablets using Android (all versions)!
BIOS is up-to-date. I think what I might do is re-install 9901 from scratch again. I was thinking about doing a Refresh but I am not too confident that it will work. I'll post my results and see if I can resolve the issue with Metro apps and my BSOD as well.
I don't think, that your problems have anything to do with your hardware or drivers, because the problems existed since you have done the OS installation. By the way: After my first clean install of Build 9901 I had exactly the same problems as you (no Windows Update, no Apps available etc.). My solution: I have completely reinstalled the OS from scratch - and everything worked flawlessly.
it still happened to me on all builds, only triggers based on some events sadly, its an annoying bug, I hope it gets fixed.
Is there any kind person which would pack and send me ApplicationFrame.dll, dwm.exe, dwmcore.dll and udwm.dll from build 9901? Via PM, of course.
I still have problems with touch - it's not working properly in any metro app, neither finger nor pen. anyone else having this issue? clean install of paul's version, pro, sp2.
Success! Thank You! After 6 or 7 clean installs, I finally have a working (near perfectly) system with build 9901. And I have to agree with a few others, this is near rock solid and one of the most stable builds thus far. BSOD's are gone as well, so that also was likely tied into the whole Metro/Modern stuff being broken previously. So it wasn't driver related, hardware related, or security software related. Method: The only difference with this clean install was using a Microsoft Account by default, right from the start during the installation and allowing Internet access during install as well. First time I ever used a Microsoft Account. I followed all default options during installation as I normally do. And Metro/Modern apps worked right from the beginning this time. And to try to determine the failing point based on my configurations, programs, customization, etc., instead of doing everything in one shot with only one or two reboots, I did a reboot after each and every significant change and checked Metro/Modern apps after each boot. That way I could track down the failing point. So I did well over a dozen or two reboots until I got all of my settings, programs and configurations the way that I normally have it. After all of that, still no point of failure as far as Metro/Modern apps go or the random BSOD's. So it looks like the breakage was occurring during clean installations and seems to be happier with a Microsoft Account as well and choosing all default/recommended options throughout installation. My system setup is now the same as I normally have it, and with zero issues to do with Metro/Modern or BSOD's. Verdict: So clearly 9901 is quite sketchy/flaky during initial installation and can break easy depending on options chosen. However, once you have had a successful clean installation of 9901, without any breakage/sketchiness/flakiness, it is smooth sailing. I now agree 100% with some other users here who have stated that 9901 is one of the most stable and best performing builds thus far. It is a great experience at the moment now. And now with all working Metro/Modern apps, I can finally start to contribute back to the Windows Insider program with the Windows Feedback app and so on, along with whatever statistics and data gets sent automatically as well. Hopefully with the amount of users contributing and voicing their opinions, Windows 10 will turn out alright in the end. Thank You: I just wanted to thank everyone again who has been helping me with these issues lately and sticking with me. I have always done my best to help others as well when I can and that is what I enjoy doing here at MDL and a few other forums. Also, thanks to the user(s) who leak the builds, and the users who share the builds with links and mirrors. I absolutely admire the community interaction here at MDL. Now time for me to start helping others again now that things are working well here. Time to find more workarounds and so on.
What is this version that Paul has " Pro, sp2" I am using 9901 and still having problems on one laptop with Nvidia drivers for it. It is a HP laptop with a Nvidia Go 6150. Only driver for it is from HP and it is for Vista x64. I seen on the MS forum that there is a fix but I can't find it or get it. Was wondering if Pauls sp2 has it. I downloaded the one Paul had when 9901 came out.
I've tried shutdown.exe -a and it didn't even stop the reboot process. ModernUI apps doesn't work after lsass fail. That makes me think my lsass fails are somehow connected with immersive shell. And probably even with apps problems like WildByDesign had. Yeah, false update massanges on lock screen, win key doesn't close start screen, can't set pin code for log in. + keyboard indicator bugs from the previous builds. That's pretty crappy and makes me sad.
