Probably it is just the SD card problem, it having a major issue when an install is running whilst an SD card has been inserted.

If this ISO can be used as an 'upgrade' then yes it could be major.

Globally pulling it for the sd card issue seems OTT, but that possibly makes sense as lots of people could end up losing data if the upgrade fails.

I can't help thinking if it was just that, they would have just suspended the update rather than going back to old version. It can't be that difficult to check if an SD card is in place and push an update out to the iso surely?

Perhaps lots of computers have been bricked?

The option to upgrade came through today , so it took almost two weeks

Perhaps a Senior MS Exec's PC - LOL?

Really liking Windows 10 now, they seem to have tidied up the side bar, no longer is there two of every hard drive. The quick access is actually functional, I even added a videos folder to it noticing it was absent, still prefer clicking on the folders underneath the hard drives installed when opening This PC.

I still think the title bar should be larger and transparent, the colours are all very solid and bland.

At Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display there's a dropdown box where you can specify the text size of titles. A large size might make the title bar bigger, if that's what you want. Having said that, I tried changing 'Icons', which affects the text sizes in Explorer, so that the navigation pane (on the left) would be more compact, but using smaller text just adds more whitespace.

Here is MS's non explanation as to why TH2 has been pulled.

Here is an speculative extract from another forum that I think has hit the nail on the head.

................................... quote from another forum .......................

Been racking my brains as to the logic of this seemingly insane move and what forced it?

MS's explanation is just pure media crap. It says what they have done but not why?

So I asked 'what is the difference between upgrading using an iso and upgrading via the media creation tool, and, at first glance, one would say none ie all features are there etc.

However there is one subtle difference between an upgrade and an iso which is not a technical feature but a COMMERCIAL feature ie the ability to activate a clean iso using old keys.

10240 does not have this, but 10586 does.

The only logical explanation is that the new activation mechanism is has a loophole that enable people to activate multiple installs of Windows 10 using a single licence key.

Let me explain my logic:

When the new procedure was mentioned, the MS wording was unclear, but if you read it closely intent was not to allow unused 7/8 keys to activate but to allow 7/8 keys previously used on PCs to activate 10.

If you legitimately upgrade and activation goes wrong, it does not really matter what 7 or 8 key you use to reactivate.

However, if it is a clean install, and you use a 7/8 key used on PC, then again it is ok.

But what if using an unused key activates it (as 10586 does), but MS do not keep a record as such of unused key and its link to a 10 licence, only checking its validity as a key?

This would mean you could use same 7 key to activate 10 multiple times.

MS would certainly not want to publicly announce this as it would be a massive gift to pirates. By reverting to 10240 and forcing upgrades, the above (speculated) loophole goes away.

Just started work somewhere new, and my PC has Windows 10 Professional, and I noticed that unlike my Windows 10 Home which has just 2 Most Used programmes, it has 5 like I had when my hone PC was on Windows 7.

Do all Home users just have 2 items on the most used list? I find this really annoying as 2 is a ridiculously small number and is just not half as usable, it was a really useful feature in Windows 7

Also does anyone have the problem that I do with the sound settings? Basically I loved it when Windows 7 bought in individual app control of volume which meant I could set System sounds to around 17% so that I could listen to music at a good volume without system sounds blasting out ridiculously loud and hurting my ears. Windows 10 keeps resetting the volume of all sounds to 100%, sometimes it happens after a reboot and at other times it just suddenly resets the system sounds to 100%.

Mine has six programs on there, W10 Home. I don't use it (just turned it on to check for you). Anything I use regularly is on the start menu anyway.

People who exploit loopholes can probably also find how to defeat MS Anti-Piracy measures anyway.

I'll give that a try, colours are still too boring though, they appear on Chrome browser where the tabs are as well and not transparent like the task bar. Makes the browser look a bit rubbish too.

If that's the case, I'm glad I got the TH2 ISO downloaded early, and clean installed it onto my PC using the unused (presumably) key on the case.

Just hope they don't de-activate it at some point, if they've changed their minds about letting people do this.
When you go into settings it does say it's activated using a digital entitlement.

It won't deactivate as you already have been activated. Your key wäs ok as it was on same pc (used actually).

As I said it is speculation as to why the TH2 isos were withdrawn, but general feeling is it is related to activation as that is the only thing that really differs.

Some are speculating it is the PRO installation bug where it install home if PC has an embedded oem 8 core key, but that problem is easily solved, and removing isos just for that seems OTT, unless MS are in legal dung territory.

Windows Modules Installer. Don't know what that is but my nice clean side bar has suddenly gone back to the absolute mess of every drive and folder being listed twice.

Last update was on the 19th it says, what the heck. No mention of modules.

Here is a bit of info about it

Thank Christ for Linux Mint !

Are you using the Mail app or a browser? If so, which browser are you using? Edge, IE, Chrome?

Not exactly what he was thinking about up there on that mount. He must have invented it later and not publicised the fact......
Not really seeing any problems with W10 here, on any of my PC's/Laptops.

Not sure what youre referring to, I was just shouting that from my own POV,

Windows 10 might be ok if you have an i7 core processor but my i3 laptop cannot run it to my satisfaction at all, so Linux is a god send for me.

There's always one!

Then you must have something wrong.

Windows 10 runs fine on an i3 - it runs fine on an Atom processor.

It pretty much runs fine on any Windows 7 onward PCs. I am running it fine on an old VISTA laptop even.
