Just like every Windows 10 Preview release, build 14931 also caused some issues Insiders who installed it. Microsoft warned Insiders about these issues with the ‘Known issues’ list — but that’s not all. Apparently, there are some issues bothering users that Microsoft didn’t mention.

Windows 10 Preview build reported issues

Installation issues are quite prevalent in this build as a lot of Insiders have reported them. However, they’re not the same for everyone: some people encountered download problems, some encountered installation loops, etc. Here’s what one user said about these issues: Another user reported that the build hangs on install: Unfortunately, there’s no confirmed solution for any of these problems. You might try running the WUReset script or resetting Windows Update, but we can’t guarantee any of these solutions will work. Not sure how far in the process it got. This is on a Dell M6700. I have backups, but going to do a reinstallation of the Anniversary Edition from scratch onto a new drive and then try again. This PC has been on the fast ring since the start, so has seen a lot of updates…” Speaking of installation issues, there’s one more similar problem that occurred to some users. Namely, one Insider noticed that the update immediately deleted the install.ESD file from his computer. This isn’t a problem for regular users, but for those who want to create an ISO file from the latest Preview build, it could be a very annoying issue. No one from the forums had a proper solution for this problem, but in case you want to find this file, we advise you to look for it after downloading the new build, but before restarting your computer. However, those Insiders who managed to get Windows 10 Preview build 14931 installed on their computers had even more problems with it. One user complained on the forums that the build completely messed up his system, as Desktop and Start Manager don’t work properly: For this serious problem, we’re afraid that the best solution is to roll back to the previous build, as no other workarounds have been found. SPONSORED There are also some problems from previous builds that are still present in this release. Apparently Microsoft still hasn’t acknowledged these issues yet, as affected Insiders are still looking for proper solutions. One of these problems is the problem with SFC Scan, which doesn’t work in a few Windows 10 Preview builds now. Here’s what one insider said about this problem: Another ‘known’ problem is with blank live tiles, which has been present since the previous Preview build: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14931] (c) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time. Beginning verification phase of system scan. Verification 20% complete. Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation. C:\WINDOWS\system32> Any ideas?” As above-mentioned errors are not new, Microsoft definitely should pay more attention to feedback from users about these issues. Obviously, this build doesn’t bring solutions for these problems, so Insiders will probably have to wait for some of the next Preview builds. That’s about it for our report. These are the most serious problems bothering Insiders who installed build 14931 for Windows 10 Preview. You probably noticed that there are far less issues than in some of the previous builds, which is a good thing. But some issues from previous builds surely draw attention, as Microsoft failed to address them in this build. It’s even stranger that these issues are still present if we take into account that Microsoft delayed the build for Mobile because of two reported problems.
