However, build 14951 also caused some problems of its own to users who installed. Microsoft already warned us about some potential problems in the build announcement article, but as usual, that’s not enough. In reality, there are many more issues bugging Insiders, than just those that Microsoft listed under ‘Known Issues.’ So, we wandered around Microsoft’s forums, in order to find problems reported by actual users, and we found a lot of them. In this article, we’re going to tell you about these problems, and try to solve at least some of them.
Windows 10 Preview build 14951 reported issues
It’s a tradition here at Windows Report to start our report articles with installation issues. Well, users have experience all sorts of installation problems when trying to install build 14951. Some of them reported installation fails, some reported stuck installation, while the build haven’t even show up for some users. Here’s what Insiders said on the forums:
“Hi, windows updates is not showing nor downloading any windows 10 build 14951 for me. I tried to do it last night but wasent showing it so I decided to wait till today to try again and it is still not showing. Please could I have help to fix the problem?” “I found the computer locked with 73% installed for 2 hours. I then did a manual restart and now the computer will not update.” “Checked on my Surface Pro 3 running Build 14942 and it has not downloaded the 14951 update. It appeared to be stuck downloading at 89%. I kept an eye on it for a few hours with no change, I restarted Windows and it said the install was ready. Oh? Clicked install and of course it didn’t work. It offered a RETRY button which began the download again. Stuck at 63%. Same steps, same result. Third attempt is now at 90% and holding. Anyone else seeing an issue on the PC?”
Reportedly, the problem is already acknowledged by Microsoft, and we hope the company will fix it with the upcoming release. Until then, you can try resetting Windows Update, disabling your third-party antivirus program, or even skipping this one. All these problems occurred on Windows 10 PCs, however, it looks like the same issue is present on Mobile, as well. Microsoft also acknowledged the problem immediately, and promised a solution to arrive soon. Here’s what Microsoft’s Jason [MS] said on the forums: Now that we told you everything you need to know about Windows 10 Preview build 14951 installation issues, let’s see what bothers users who actually managed to get the new build installed. We encourage Windows Insiders to file feedback or upvote feedback from others. We’ve started digging through the logs we have already received to investigate the issue. Stay tuned to this thread for additional details. We’ll post updates as information becomes available. Thanks in advance!” One Insider reported on the forums that he’s unable to connect to internet in build 14951, regardless of the browser.
Unfortunately, no one from the forums had a proper solution for this problem. Microsoft will definitely need to pay attention to this solution, since it happens for a few builds now. We remind you that users mainly had problems with Microsoft Edge in the previous build, which apparently continues in build 14951, as well. Issues with Windows 10 Enterprise mode are not so common in Windows 10 Insider program. However, we saw one in build 14951. One user reported that the latest three Preview builds broke DirectAccess. Here’s what he said about this issue: SPONSORED Other forum users have suggested some solution, but apparently, none of them worked. We also don’t have a proper workaround for this problem, so admins facing the issues with DirectAccess will probably have to wait for another build. Another user have experienced problems with removing SD card from his SD card slot. Here’s what he said on the forums: Since the Insider didn’t precise what kind of system crash is appearing, we can’t tell you about the exact solution for this problem. So, if you know something more about this problem, don’t hesitate to let us know in the comments below. Now, let’s talk about problems that bugs Insiders on Mobile devices. Besides above-mentioned installation issues, there are a few more problems that deserve to be in our report article. The first problem is the issue with display, which reportedly won’t time out for some users. Here’s what one user reported on the forums: Unfortunately, no one from the forums had a proper solution for this problem. So, if you know what users facing this issue should do, please let us know in the comments. And finally, one user reported that he’s unable to download a new keyboard language pack on his Windows 10 Mobile device: Just like it was the case with the majority of problems reported here, other Insiders remained silent about this issue on the forums. That should be all for our report about issues bugging Insiders in Windows 10 Preview build 14951.
