Build 21313 Major problems
I am not sure if anybody else has experienced this. I use windows insider preview on four of my machines. Two desktops and two laptops. Not one, not two but all 4 of them have basically bricked on me....

Hi,
I only use it on my main everyday machine and I didn't experience that behavior when I was on build Dev 21313.
right now the latest one is 21322 which I'm on, you could try updating it to see if it gets fixed but if not then I think a reset like you said is a great option, specially reset from the cloud 🙂

Thanks for the response. Yes, I thought the same thing but I can't even get to the update page. The machines have become completely unbootable. I'm going to try making a bootable usb and see if I can rescue one. The reset process, as you know, is really time consuming. We'll see. I'll get back on and advise what happened. I have been running Insider Builds for s few years with pretty much no problems. Guess I've made up for lost time!
- HotCakeXFeb 28, 2021MVPYeah I've been using insider builds for a long time too, in my experience some problems just don't get fixed by updating to the newer build and only a clean install takes care of them, that's why I reset or clean install regularly.
the only part of reset process which is time consuming (if you're on SSD) i think is after the actual reset operation, where you have to reinstall your programs 🙂- Jack_KellyMar 01, 2021Copper ContributorThanks. That’s what I’m doing. Indeed it’s all the app installs that are so time consuming. Oh well, I’ll get through it!
Thanks for your advice. Stay safe.- HotCakeXMar 01, 2021MVPThanks you too 🙂
