Was stuck on build 26040.1000 (Enterprise) and changed from Canary to Dev channel using OfflineInsiderenroll tool, now trying to update to Dev channel build 26080(Enterprise) using the ISO, but the ISO keeps closing suddenly at making sure you're ready to install. Have tried restarting the services and deleting SoftwareDistribution. Some posts have suggested to use older setup.exe, and point it to the newer install.wim, but I'm not sure which version of the executable file I should be using to upgrade. Any help would be appreciated
This issue has now persisted for about half a year. And while the translation is technically correct, it does not take into account how bad it looks in the interface. I have filed a couple of reports on different occasions of such mishaps in the feedback hub, but they're getting next to no attention for months now, and it doesn't seem like it's going to change.
I would obviously advocate for a different systematic approach towards translating products such as not taking the strings in the language files literally (which happens quite often and makes you try and trace the original English term back in your head) or at least trying to match the English's string lenght.
For now it seems to me Windows interface in English is still #1 in terms of how clean it looks and feels which is generally true for naming and notation in other domains like programming and math. But is it as bad in other languages? And is there an official Microsoft stance on this? Who is responsible for Windows translation as a whole?
(if the picture doesn't look as bad on your device then just believe me it does on a big monitor)
I don't know what magic Microsoft has done with this build but on my system it is very fluid. Animations are fine, even virtual desktop switcher. At last Microsoft. Let's keep that way.
I can't figure this out. In the time I've had iPhones, copying photos and videos off of them using File Explorer to local disk, network share or external storage has been unreliable. I have filed feedback in Feedback Hub.
I get errors like "catastrophic failure" or what amounts to the iPhone disconnecting and I'd have to disconnect the USB cable and connect it again.
Why is copying off of iPhones so bad in 2024? I am not sure if it's a Windows, File Explorer and/or iPhone issue.
Just curious if anybody else came across this problem
On trying to install the latest cumulative update for the 24H2 inside build (Release Preview Channel), I get a bluescreen (ok, green screen) at around 92 percent of the installation process, with different error codes each time; I will share one sample here, but it is really not consistent which error code it will display
This is the update

I have a very old Windows 10 PC that does not come close to being able to support Windows 11. Somehow Microsoft thinks this PC is part of the Insider Program, I have no idea how that happened to this PC. I do have some Windows 11 PCs that are part of the Insider program but no Windows 10 PCs.
Using Window Update results in this old PC downloading Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.26120.961 (ge_release) and trying to install it.
I looked online at the devices connected to my Microsoft Account and the old PC is not listed. When I click the link that says, "Go to Windows Insider Program settings to change your Insider level” I get a dialog box that asks me to "Link a Windows Insider account". I am also sure that I never signed in with Microsoft Account on this old PC.
How do I get this old PC out of the Insider Program?
What’s going to happen if I let the installation complete?
One of the devices here is on Insider Preview and stuck in 22H2 version. If I leave the program immediately, will I get the stable latest version of 23H2? Any problem would occur when I am updating? Thanks a lot.
Hi, since I get to install KB5038285 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 22H2 I can't do that. Every time I retry to install I get error 0x80070057. I think I tried everything to delete this error, but I still have problem.
There's no "Repair your computer" option in the new Setup screens, so you can't go to Startup Repair.
A Saturday release? There's no post on the Insiders blog with change notes yet.
Please feel free to delete this when the official announcement arrives.
Hello!
I just did a clean install of Windows 24H2 (build 26100) using the official ISO.
Signed up to the Insider Program, chose the Release Preview channel, restarted… and instead of the Release Preview channel, I’m in the Dev one. And apparently I cannot change channels or exit the program, I would need to do another clean install.
Anybody knows what’s going on here? And how can I fix this?
I don’t want to be on unstable builds (that’s why I chose Release Preview) and I don’t want to do another Clean Install after spending the whole day reinstalling stuff.
Thanks!
My start menu was working perfectly until build 10.0.22635.3785 got installed. Now when I press start, there is no start menu displayed and the apps do not respond.
I don't see an easy way to uninstall this update... any suggestions or known hacks? I updated my nvidia drivers as well but didn't help.
I can still normally connect to 5ghz networks but it just does not work
I am a security researcher trying to test Windows Recall for my company. I have spun up a virtual machine in Azure with the necessary requirements:
Running Windows 11 Pro
Source image win11-24h2-pro
Arm 64 Architecture
8 vcpus
16 Gigs of Ram
After setting up the VM the current build is 26100.512. Per @_JohnHammond 's Twitter thread from June 7th, I tried to install the necessary updates - KB5037850 - to upgrade the build to 26100.712. This did not work.
I then tried to install the updates manually from uupdumps.net. Following the website's instructions I downloaded the files for installing the updates here: Select language for Windows 11, version 24H2 (26100.712) arm64 - UUP dump
However, upon running the script, I received the error:
"Unable to retrieve data from Windows Update servers. Reason: EMPTY_FILELIST
If this problem persists, most likely the set you are attempting to download was removed from Windows Update servers."
It appears that Twitter user @_JohnHammond also noticed this problem starting from June 8th. User Tom Plant (@_pl4nty) confirms this. So now I do not know if there is another way to install this. I am sure I am not the only one here interested in testing Windows Recall, can anyone help with this?
I'm one of the lucky people who has been stuck on 23620, and I saw the suggestion for a clean install with the ISO and since I was having trouble getting my AMD drivers to update, decided I might as well.
I followed the directions and everything seemed to go ok, but once Windows booted the Taskbar just entered a loop of constantly restarting. I tried a fresh ISO on a different USB drive and a new clean install with the same results, so I wound up going back to a production build 22631.3593.
Every time Windows Update pushes a new build, I try to update it, and near the end of the update on a restart it Greenscreens and reverts.
I wanted to post this because I haven't seen anyone else post about a similar experience, so I hope it is helpful.
Being on Canary
for a long time and in the program since 2015, I've gotta say, this is one bad hiccup. Almost as bad as the time it screwed up my master boot record and I had to rebuild it from scratch.
I am now trying to move to Development, so wish me luck.
Is the "repair version" my hope? I seemed to get it once I toggled to `Development`.
This is strange. I joined the newly relaunched Insider dev channel on my Surface Pro 3 (i5-4300U, 4GB of Ram) which I nowadays mainly use as an external wireless display when I need some more (ok, a bit more) real estate.
It was running Windows 10 Pro. After joining insider and restarting the device it started downloading an update. I let it be and hit install and shut down afterwards as I was not planning on using it for a couple of days. Today I restarted the device and it is running Windows 11 Build 26120.770.
All this even though Microsoft kept telling me in Windows Update that my device wasn't compatible with Windows 11. Is Microsoft rethinking its strategy and planning on making Win11 more broadly available even on older devices or is this an error on their side?
I didn't do any registry hacks or other shenanigans. It did it all on itself. I was expecting some kind of dev channel version of Windows 10. Not saying I'm sad about this change. I quite fancy Windows 11.
My PC auto updated today and a whole bunch of bugs that were fixed sre now back i want to undo the last update immediately please help
Widnows insider website (The Windows Insider Program (microsoft.com)) is not working for me.
It works alright if I'm not logged in, but once logged in - it just shows a spinning/loading animation.
Due to this, I'm unable to enter/leave the insider program.
Is there any other way to enter/leave the program?
Thanks in advance!
