ManagerFebruary 24, 2017 at 8:23 pm #97204I just tried to download 15042. Download went fast, install seemed to go ok, got to the login screen then ran into a reboot. “Your computer ran into a problem.” Continual reboot/ran into a problem. stop code was SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Oh, well, I will replace the image tomorrow and try again. At least the download was normal this time!

Replaced the VM with the backup. Install went well. After the first login, Parallels Tools installs. On reboot – BSOD with above stop code. Got to the troubleshooting screen in the bootup where it gives you the options SafeMode, Command Prompt, etc. If I choose Low res graphics, it comes up, pops to hi res, then I can login OK. But the next time I bring it up, BSOD again.
Seems to be a conflict between the Parallels graphics drivers and the MS drivers.Wonder if MS is packaging their poisonous Intel drivers with 15041 – seems we’ve had SOME discussion about that lately!!
I may try again with the “exclude drivers” settings in 15031 before I upgrade. What can it cost – 15 minutes to recopy the VM, 3.5GB download, 30 min install 30 min crash and burn, 15 min min to recopy the VM, wait for Parallels to fix what MS breaks…

AskWoody PlusFebruary 25, 2017 at 7:00 pm #97354Downloaded 64 bit Version perfectly and installed OK first time (on to a real machine not a virtual one). I notice that there is no watermark in the bottom RH corner of the desktop. Also I can now join my existing Homegroup which I could not do with the 2 previous versions, but there are still issues accessing some of the files on one of my computers on the network. Seems to be working OK so far apart from that; still playing with it!

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 27, 2017 at 7:58 pm #97676Well Woody,
This is a record for me. Just before 19:00 MST, 15042 is Downloading the ESD version. I had the UUP version about 30 hours ago and made a Delta ISO. I wand the ESD to to make a Full ISO,for many reasons, I don’t know if MS is playing games or if this is really Part of there “Build” Problem???

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 27, 2017 at 8:13 pm #97679I am curious. Are you referring to DO = Dec 100, HEX 64??? You say ‘BITS’???

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 27, 2017 at 8:43 pm #97684OKAY we are talking about the same thing.
I use the Registry that is the only difference.You have heard of the Service “Background Intelligent Transfer Service” commonly called BITS.

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 28, 2017 at 1:04 pm #97765Well I Upgraded from Build 15031 to 15042 with the UUP Delta ISO, After a Restart post Upgrade process Restarts. I ended up with a Failed Windows Firewall. Thus no Ethernet or Wifi communication possible!
Next step when I get back to it, is to do an In Place Update from the Full ISO.
Anybody still wondering why I insist on getting a Full Install.ESD? There are other reasons too.
