insider preview 17074 not working
There are issues w/nVidia drivers (I have Ti1050 OC) in terms of how they load in Windows 10 RS3/4 Builds---after you install latest nVidia driver (most of you 64-bit, I bet). 'disable' driver in 'devices' so you get a 22 code....re-boot machine, go back into Windows but do not 'enable' card---power off, unplug power, press start button machine so power is not still there, and is used....then, plug back in power supply, re-boot, 'enable' card, and you should be good.
If you cannot get in latest Insider build, back-door it with a dual-boot (comes in handy) and use Unlocker via other Windows-based OS (on different partition) to delete the nVidia .inf file in windows/system32/driverstore/respository...the files are 'protected' but Unlocker will allow you to delete /inf...then re-boot, and then re-install nVidia driver but 'disable' it, and go thru above....took me a bit to nail this one...hope it helps some of you.
It goes beyond the security issues but that is the most important reason. The more software you install, the more conflicts and kludge accumulates, particularly if the software requires drivers. Some software does not fully uninstall leaving files, drivers and registry entries behind. Then there is the issue of software trying to install additional programs and unnecessary items. I do not install any software until it is necessary. And in some cases I am using portable versions rather than a full installation. When software updates, I wait to see if people are having issues before I update. This makes it easier to identify conflicts and resolve problems when they occur.
Have you tried using the professional version of Revo Uninstaller. It was suggested a while back in PC World magazine. I use it on my computer and have paid for a version on my flash drive to use to help clean up client's computers. It is great and helps get a lot of missing registry entries and stuff. I also like and have used CCleaner and Microsoft Security Essentials was great and immediately warned me of the corrupted version a while back.
- I don't know if that is the way the Insider editions are set up. I assume the Windows Defender would still update but it has not since the current slow build. I will wait to see if it resolves with the next slow update to the next version. But this was the same problem before 17074. I could not get this update until I downloaded an ISO and used that to update.
Michael, wouldn't automatic updates be wrong in this case because then it would not allow us as Insiders to fully test the new Windows 10 versions. You install an update manually and then see if there is an error, right and then are able to write about it and report it to Microsoft.
Please check to see if your install allows automatic updates. I got this version installed and had automatic updates set to on, but today I checked and the button was set to off and I cannot turn it on. I had this problem before. This is making me crazy.
Build 17083 fixed the problem with my acer desktop, it installed fine. (The BIOS hard-coded virtualization on issue for acer desktops...)
Same here,
I got mine installed 2 days ago, went smoothly from 17074 (I did not have to uninstall any SW.
I CAN CONFIRM THAT 17083 HAS JUST DOWNLOADED AND INSTALLED PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!!!
- Just a reminder to all: This is beta softare, so if you're having serious issues with this build or another, and are using on production machines, drop to retail version until all this is figured out. Can't expect that any insider builds work flawlessly....
We're still not getting any nearer to a solution though!
True, I have found I have had to manually remove registry entries from my Windows 7 machine to help get rid of all traces of removed software. You have to be very careful in doing this because if you remove a registry entry that is needed then the easiest thing is to roll back the computer. I do this as time allows.
I use CCleaner occasionally because it has caused issues. But CCleaner even leaves some items from an uninstall regardless of what software you use to uninstall. When I uninstall, I use Windows uninstall and then manually check for leftovers on the drive and registry. Some software puts new entries in the registry that are not easily identified with the software so it pays to familiarize yourself with the software entries before and after an install. A screenshot of the registry before and after the install help me trace installations. If I find an odd entry that I don't recognize I look online to find what software is related to the entry. It may sound like a lot of work, but a system reset/reinstall creates far more work.
