Things I've noticed so far in 16125.1000 re_prerelease

[NoM]

Launch Task Manager
Either by using Ctrl + Alt + Delete key combination or by right clicking the task bar and selecting it from the context menu.
In Task Manager use the menu bar -> File -> Run new task ->
Type "cmd" into the text box and check the box underneath that says "Creat this task with administrative privleges"

Also, if you have the time, while you're at it, you might want to test to see if your current issue is unique to your profile or if it is a global Windows problem by creating a new user as a member of the local administrators group for testing purposes.

Go to
C:\Windows\System32
Find
Cmd.exe (if you are hiding file extensions of known types, it might just say "cmd")
Right click it and choose run as administrator
At the admin command prompt type
net user JohnSmith /add
hit enter
then type
net localgroup administrators JohnSmith /add
hit enter
type
exit
hit enter
Restart and log in as JohnSmith

Obviously it doesn't have to be "JohnSmith". Any Tom, Dick or Sally should work fine (dealers choice).
You can delete the account later, whenever you wish.

Unfortunately it was system wide. I had to reinstall Windows stable, as I'm studying for an exam. I just can't help but feel the state of the Windows frameworks are a mess compared to Android.

The irony is that the taskbar is the only thing I feel they nailed in Windows 10.

I too are having non-stop crashing of the taskbar, making my desktop rather unusable. I can't do anything without it crashing. It's affecting my mouse input, but mostly anything to do with the bottom bar, start menu and switching between windows.

Honestly, opening CMD as administrator has taken me 10 minutes thus far. For anyone else, is there an easy way to launch cmd using run with admin? In Linux it could be sudo/gksudo terminal

Mines not my mouse it's the keyboard when i have more than a couple of Tabs open the whole thing slows down the task bar has come back so i can type in it again but it's unusable if I want to do my usual surf with 20+ tabs open and it changes depending on what browser you have open like in Cyberfox it faults the Cyberfox.exe and the things like glue and it crashes and loads ebery 10 - 15 seconds

It don't matter now as it's died completely with a unable to find the boot device halfway thru booting. Maybe somethng to do with the power failure we had the other day. Now where can I d/load a copy of 16225 in anyformat to make a bootable usb drive.

The only official / legitimate source for Insider ISOs is here

AND
Unfortunately the latest available is 16193
I would expect to see 16215 sooner or later after they release it to the Slow Ring..... if they actually do.

I backed out of the Insider program, due to my poor download speed. However, I keep in touch through other paths.

No offence but, this extremely helpful forum will get you through some difficulties, however, the contributions go no further than this site. I do hope you are all providing feedback to the insider site, it can be extremely helpful, particularly to those users of Windows 10 in the future, for those who continue to assess the program.

Yes every thing goes top the feedback hub first and my system is designed to keep all diagnostic files after (a rare) crash
