Yeah, but I don't know how the licensing works. Maybe it's been clarified and I just missed it...

Update is spitting up an error:
Tried the solution here, nada. Anyone had/fixed this?
EDIT: Alright, fixed it. Turns out I just misstyped one of the commands, ended up creating a whole new registry entry called "appllicability" instead of editing "applicability"
Still not seeing the new build, tho.
EDIT2: Aaaand there we go. Had to go fix my advanced settings from flb awesome to fbl impressive, re-enter my credentials, and move back into the fast lane.
EDIT3: And now it's not working again. Bloody hell. I'm gonna have to do a refresh, aren't I?

Installing Win7 or 8 from memory stick wasn't any slower than that even with HDD.
Ahh, I never did it via USB. Always via some disc. Was a pain in the ass to put in Windows 7, just to Upgrade to 8 and then to install Windows 10. Only found out recently about the MS USB Media Maker thing.
If you have disc or .iso then you can just copy all files from it to FAT32 formatted stick. Most motherboards will boot from it without needing to mess around with anything.

Oh thank god, they adjusted full screen tablet mode and it now looks similar to metro again - hiding the all apps list on the side is such an improvement. And the start menu looks much better with the layout change, really liking how this build looks.
I hope at some point in full screen tablet mode we can make it show the desktop background again properly, by making the start screen background fully transparent.

Well any idea on how to fix this?
Also Life is Strange isn't launching but that might just be a Steam problem.

As are mine (any Win32 app).
Well I know that, i was just wondering if they really do make every build.
Probably.

I believe build are complied on a daily, or near daily basis, so they might.
The number numbering might change for certain milestones or strings of builds though.

yes
I have this issue as well... Nothing floating around to fix it yet that I can find, but it is still new so...
Windows 10 has sufficiently bricked my surface pro 3 yay
Can't boot to USB (just keeps resetting and going into the launcher over and over) and windows 10 has decided to lock my drive (bitlocker) so now i can't get into windows
Soooo.... my surface pro is now a paperweight

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
wow, take it back to MS store? they might be able to do something.
So, I found a fix, hopefully this will help everyone else with the "stuck at 18%" issue. It fixed it for me.

Gabe Aul stated ISOs will go out once the build hits the Slow ring.
So it will be a while.

And that is why you make a virtual machine of builds like these. I use it as my main os but i'm on a pc that i can easily fix.
found out there was an alternate method where you could go into the command prompt to kill the partition then you could force the recovery process
thank fuck for that lol
I doubt this build ever hits the slow ring with the AMD bug. They will just release another that doesn't have that problem.

Want this too...
I'm hoping for the July update being true. Just ordered another hard drive in preparation for this.

They're putting out a patch for that next week. ISO will just include it when it gets deployed.
Will try this tonight. Thanks!
I noticed when I did a disk cleanup on the latest build, there was a section titled with device drivers weighing at something like 10-15 GB+.
Thought that was strange.
Wow.. That's weird.

Hey, is there a specific feedback item people have been using to report specific compatibility issues? Going through my Steam library, a bunch of stuff just straight-up doesn't work. Should I just use the compatibility troubleshooter reporting tool, or is there somewhere else to put it?
You can use Windows Feedback app to report it. There's a "Recent Applications" category which lists (most) apps you've been using recently. Or you can just put it in Apps -> All other apps.
dLMN8R, do you have any idea whether we can expect any major changes in Windows 10's look or are future builds only for polishing and fixing bugs now?
Because there's still a lot of UI elements that I don't like :/ Some elements look really rough (e.g. the calendar - especially with those buttons that look like links on a HTML page with default styling) and I think Microsoft still hasn't managed to nail the unification of two different interfaces. It's really distracting to see a different-looking menu when you right-click an icon on taskbar (slick menu with small fonts, white background with light grey border and a shadow underneath, each item on the menu starts with an icon) and start menu (dark grey, almost black, background with white border that looks like something taken from a high-contrast theme; bigger fonts with smaller line height; no icons).
I would love for Windows 10 to look something like PapyrOS.
Much better than the current ones.
