Well that was uneventful

The new expiration date likely reflects more accurately the release date of Redstone 3, which I'm expecting some time later this year, hopefully around October.
AS April and October seems to blow their skirts up over there at Redmond.

I am getting "Error code: (0x80070003)" message. Have tried a couple of times now. Should I delete download folder and run repair?

I installed it twice on two different machines and got that error once on one of them. I simply clicked "Retry" and it went through the second time.
If after a couple "Retry" attempts if it continued to fail, I'd probably delete the $WINDOWS.~BT folder and stop the Windows Update Service and empty out C:\Windows\Software Distribution folder and reboot and see what happens

Trying now for several days to have it installed. It never finishes, not sure it went beyond the starting point as it always says [Downloading updates 2%] and no action on the HDD happening. even restarts result in the same. Maybe I need to wait til the next one is out......

Finally I was able to upgrade to the build 16179. All it took was to reinstall the 15063 preview built and after a little detour to 15063.138 it even let me back in the Insider program. It downloaded the 16179 twice (thankful for unlimited data) before it started to install. after it went to 100% it told me that " something went wrong ". After a restart it actually installed the new version and now I am on the latest Insider build as well....

go figure......

For some reason I just don't think it should be that hard.
I wonder what's going on.
I had one failure (first time in recent memory) but the second try went OK.
I hope they get something figured out soon or at least release an ISO so we don't have to go back to go forward.

Hi Trouble,

I just ran Windows Update Tool but it found no new software, am I doing something wrong?. I currently have version 1703 and build 15063.138 installed and the updater tells me that I am fully up-to-date. :D

Your new build shows 16179.1000?.

Wolfie build 16179.1000 is an insider build while 15063.138 is the current Creators Update build. You will need to add your login to the Insider preview settings menu to get those.

Hi all,

I just checked out their website, I don't think I will bother with dev software because I only have 1 version of W10 of each PC I own, or....... can I download it and install it on a second partition and do I get to keep it as a freebie after testing is complete or is it an on-going thing?. :D (I mean; is the Windows key free for the dev version?).

(Completely unrelated story) I tried to use the on-board E-Mail app from Windows but it only download a few messages from the last few days, I assume that the app still hasn't got all the bugs out of it, I use Thunderbird anyway so not a problem. :)

Thanks for the info Data, I tried VBox with Kubuntu (Linux) recently, I might try your idea and see what happens, I have enough space on my main PC!. :D
