    yes i did. It's the same. If you run the server explorer.exe on Win 10 Pro, you still can't enable the old start menu/start screen

    so its safe to say that the non-XAML start menu has not been removed from windows 10 tp but is somehow disabled

    Any one managed to get Essentials Server installed on a VM ?

    In both VMWare and Hyper-V Server installs fine, then the Essentials feature starts, gets to 17%, reboots, then doesn't do anything.
    CPU spikes every few seconds and Network every few minutes but install never continues.

    I also tried to add the Essentials feature to the VHD MS released, but that gets to 59% then sits there ?

    I tried to install the essential role to the standard server and it worked (server was installed by me on a VHD via imagex /apply) , what didn't work for me is the basic installation. No matter the updates it still lacks all the "square" settings.

    I had the same / a similar problem with Hyper-V'ed essentials installation, the 'role installation' did not finished and shows an error message ... I didn't try once more :mad:

    I have deployed the datacenter virtual disk (in Hyper-V 2012 R2 standard) some hours before and have checked the compability with (my) progs & apps.

    Later, I have installed the essentials role / feature and had the 'same' error like you, but I have started the role installation (or better: the configuration in server manager) again without any changes and now, the server runs very well, with later installed DHCP-role, too.

    So, if you get an error, try to continue / start again the configuration

    OK, I finally managed to get Essentials installed, but on the wrong VM Box :eek:

    I tried GHeimnis's route of retrying on both VMWare and on Hyper-V. VMWare would error out in a few seconds. Hyper-V just got stuck at 59% again.

    I then tried T-S's route of 'ImageX/apply' on Hyper-V but it still got stuck at 53% this time.

    Then, I replaced the .VMDK in VMWare with MS's 'Datacentre' .VHD and it worked perfectly first time. :confused:

    Who said testing beta's wasn't fun. ;)

    I installed desktop experience from server features - yet personalization is not working. Keep getting error - ms-settings - personalization - this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action blah blah blah.....
