Fix for the "Stop Insider builds" message

Nope. That's what you get if you click on "Fix me." It's been that way for me for the last two builds. I was hoping this last build would fix it, but no. . . -- SC Tom |

What do you get when you click "Stop Insider Builds"? When I click "Fix Me" I get a popup of the same size with "Hey! Are you an Insider?" in large print followed by "You need to connect a Microsoft account to your device to get Insider builds.". There are 2 buttons labeled "Sign in with a Microsoft account" and "cancel". -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/ " God... 1) The emperor has no clothes. 2) There is no emperor." |

Perhaps the intention is to invent a kind of "activation" scheme, where a user "proves" their Microsoft Account details on each installation/repair attempt ? They want to verify your email address still works, with the "code thing". Paul |

Well, for some unknown reason, the "Fix me" button is gone, replaced with the line "You are all set to receive Insider builds." I have not bothered to click on the "Stop Insider builds" button; let sleeping dogs lie and all that good stuff :-) I haven't installed any updates since I first got the "Fix me" button.

I have not bothered to click on the "Stop Insider builds" button; let sleeping dogs lie and all that good stuff :-) I haven't installed any updates since I first got the "Fix me" button. Don't know why it fixed itself, it just did. But this speaks volumes about how "reliable" an OS it is. If the behavior of the OS is not reproducible from day to day, if the "earth moves under your feet", how will you make any progress ? Say, for example, you're the IT guy, and the problem fixes itself while you're applying triage. I would expect you to be pretty angry. Part of problem fixing, is learning from the experience, and just having the sand shifting under your feet all the time, is going to teach you nothing about fixing problems faster. One of the reasons the Win10 test volume is not powered up right now, is waiting for stuff like this to stop :-) OK, fired it up again, it checked for Windows Update all by itself (could see Trusted Installer in Task Manager), and it reports no updates have been installed. And my flapper isn't flapping. So has mine always been working, or did it flap twice and fix itself ? Windows 10 is a lot like my aquarium back home. Where you could look at the fish inside the tank. Pretty boring. But occasionally, the goldfish would leap out of the thing, and onto the bedroom floor. You won't as much working on that new computer, as "watching it in wonderment". Now that Windows 10 will be receiving a copy of Minecraft, will the computer play all by itself for amusement ? Will Minecraft be one of the "maintenance tasks" ? Oh - I see the NIC LED is at it again... Time to go over and figure out what it's chewing on this time. I think I'd rather be running a BitCoin mining rig instead. Paul |
