On my PC I have done a clean install of 1709 build 16299.19 And now that I have reinstalled my virtualbox virtual PC environment containing the Insider Preview version 17017.rs_prerelease.171010-140...

    Hi Nawzil

     

    Many thanks for taking the time out to reply to my post.

     

    I was working in a virtual environment so that version had not changed in anyway. However since posting here and raising it in the Insider Preview Feedback Hub it resolved itself and activation was resumed. Perhaps someone somewhere in Microsoft world looked into it and fixed it :-)

    Problem solved.

     

    Kind regards,

I am also having an issue: The "Windows 10 Insider Preview 17017.1000 (rs_prerelease)" updates "ok" but upon re-booting the PC there is an error which apparently prevents a successful install. Should I re-format the hdd ??

I also wanted to clarify: upon re-booting my PC the Preview build update is creating a BSOD which then re-boots my PC (automatically) without updating my PC. The Preview build update then re-downloads the update....this is basically a circular reference...:(

    re-clarifying: Upon automatic re-booting (from the BSOD) my PC Preview OS then automatically re-downloads the update (100% successful) but then after a required re-boot the BSOD re-appears (every time) which is causing the "circular reference" that I was referring to. This sounds to me like a DLL file not initializing correctly ?

    Any help is greatly appreciated !
