insider preview 17074 not working
- Jan 14, 2018
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.
deleted everything from the download folder - one last try...

Seriously beginning to hate this screen.

Your advice worked perfect. Now I can change the switch on automatic update downloads. I thank you very much.

Try to download an unofficial ISO from 17074.1002, open it on Winrar, extract to a folder on your PC and run setup.exe. It should work!!!

I am having the same issue and it does not appear there is a fix. One thing I noticed was I cannot set the automatic install updates to on. When I try to turn it on, it switches back off. I am preparing to go back to a factory restore if this is not fixed soon. I hate to lose everything because it is such a pain to restore the OS, update and then restore my files.

Got the 17074 build at the most annoying way:
1) Inside VM, installing a fresh install of 17025
2) Inside VM, upgrading until 17074 shows up
3) Inside VM, use UUPtoISO utility to convert folder \Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download to an ISO file (option 1, choose correct folder inside \Download, probably the biggest folder in GBytes)
4) Copying the ISO to the host PC (outside VM)
5) Mount the ISO as a unit
6) Run setup.exe and follow instructions to "upgrade leaving programs and user files"
Worked here. now running 17074.1002
Hope it helps someone out there stuck at 17063 or lower builds. - Cristian KleuserJan 21, 2018Brass ContributorOk, this was bizarre now. I reverted to 17025 (fresh install) and guess what? The presented build on Windows Update was, again, 17063. It refuses to give me the 17074 in any ring.... Lost hope here...

Just checking if you guys have raised feedback in the feedback hub? If you have, can you reply with the links here and i'll up-vote. Also, if you are on Twitter, the insider team can often be reached at https://twitter.com/windowsinsider. It's worth reaching out there (I've had a lot of success with the team via twitter).
Another (extreme) option could be to revert back to v1709, and then return to insider builds?
Good luck guys and feel free to let me know how it goes.
- Cristian KleuserJan 21, 2018Brass ContributorFrom my experiences, when there's a boot problem at Windows logo, at least for me, it was always a storage driver problem, in my case, the iastor (intel storage device driver) problem...
- leonidas crouchJan 21, 2018Brass Contributor
yeah just had the usual error - I've paused my updates now.
This error is happening a lot so I can't quite see why microsoft are sticking with the virtualisation thing. There is clearly something preventing the boot up from the windows logo screen - but nothing sorted yet....
- Cristian KleuserJan 21, 2018Brass ContributorDid that (with the WU service stopped) three times, moved from fast <-> slow rings, rebooted the PC, and still nothing... I think I'm been punished for something, lol
