New update KB3140768 just arrived

[Tim Locke]

Perhaps this fixes last weeks effort

Installed and rebooted... nothing obvious broken.

Yup,nothing to write home about..interesting though as it did get stuck at 6% for almost 15 minutes with nothing appearing to happen.I left it, made a cup of coffee and came back and it was done.
It's listed as a "technical preview" which I also found interesting.

IT is listed as an update for Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview. A somewhat different thing as Windows Server 2016 is not yet officially released I think.

Thanks but that did not work either. I am done with Build 10586. I am deleting every image I have of it except one build that is on a WD Hard Drive and it will not update either.

After Installing KB3140768 I get the spinning circle of dots prior to logon screen. Rebooting to safe mode and using selective start I found problem appears to be caused by credential manager service. Disabling this allows PC to boot normally. Re enabling causes return of spinning dots.

I have tried for the final and last time on this BS. I have spent way to much time. I formatted the HD that had 10586 on it so all I have now is 14279. The only thing I miss with 10586 is the ability to play windows 7 games off line. I even tried an in place repair and it failed. The next clean install I do will be with Windows 7. I rue the day that I lost that back up. I wish I never heard of 10. I guess you get what you pay for. MS should at least release ISO's for every build.

Signed up for the forums just to post here.
I was forced to upgrade to this build, and when my computer booted back up the Wi-Fi refused to detect any routers or networks. I had to use System Restore to revert the issue.

i still haven't been able to solve all the problems i received with this update.
i tried rolling back but i'm still experiencing problems.
i'm able to connect to the internet, but several programs as well as windows update can't connect anymore.
my headset also keeps detecting the wrong driver and only the mic functions.
i'm manually downloading this update again to try running it again to see if the same nonsense reoccurs or if it will magically work this time.
