Did they improve the console windows this time? Always sucked having the pretty nice PowerShell to play with but still being stuck in that horrible console window ...
I think that 'console window' on server core is still a gui window that runs in an empty GUI desktop right ? not really a real textmode console like DOS or *nix ?
Could be, then it would be like the console in winpe, right? Never used server core so actually I don't know If this is really console only I'd like to know where they're going to use it for. Is it in 7955 too?
Broken windows update I can no longer use windows update in build 7989. I keep getting error codes, one being an unknown algorhitm?. None of the updates will download or install. Has anyone else having problems downloading update via windows update?
Have you gotten any updates other than driver updates? I set it to check for updates but let me decide whether to download or install them. I haven't been offered any updates by 7989.
Interesting. I have only gotten driver updates. No Defender updates. I don't have Office installed. The driver updates installed fine except the Nvidia ones (which I didn't really want anyway, was just testing.)
I got failed updates for defender, drivers and security essentials definitions. I emptied my datastore folder so I can't remember if I have ever had WU work for me on 7989. I used security essentials to update my definitions. I could never get defender to update for me even by the manual method.
I got the same issue, but I downloaded and installed them manually and it worked. exept the nvidia driver update.
I think for the drivers, it is better to go to the manufacturer's site, download and install them (whatever mode), and not letting windows update your drivers for this build.
Is Genuine Center showing Activated? Sometimes slui decides not to work, and craps out on you in the middle of activation.. If it's activated then it should work.
same is happening to me. I will admit the joy of updating pre beta is near, I"ve been trying to update wireless drivers forever!
on 7989 I got an update for windows defender and after installing office 14 it downloaded some updates for office.
I had the same problem. It showed I had updates then when I went to download them it died and gave me an error. I, too, installed Office 14 and had no problems with installing its updates. Then I went to the manufacturer to get my drivers and all is well. Maybe Microsoft does not want you to use Update until later. Just thought it was me. Now I know better.. Bill
I went ahead and reinstall build 7989 to see if that works but it doesn't Some updates do load and install but others I am having a hard time with e.g my driver for ethernet adapter. I could DL from vendor's site but it is through FTP which is hell by itself because ever MS Vista thru 7 and now 8. I can not for the life of me DL any ftp files. I am using MS essentials and Firewall and spybot. I tried everything I could find but none of them work. Here is what I am getting with W/U.
