Windows 10 July 29th Build

[giantsteen]

Microsoft is releasing this build to those who signed up for the free upgrade:

10240.16405.150725-1815.th1

This means the plain 16384 build can go on the FTP I suppose? This will be the Day 01 build that starts support.

I would say, no. It looks like that is a GA update that is put on top of 10240.16384. There is no new full build per se. ISOs will probably be 10240.16384 + this GA update.

Well, if it is a newer build, I'd say yes.

We don't know for sure if this update changes each and every file in 10240.16384 (I doubt it). There will be parts of the original 10240.16384 still left in the system after the update is applied. See this.

This is just a patch, not a whole new build.

EDIT: 10.0.10240.16405 will most likely be the version of the kernel after the patch is applied.

Nope, as the upgraders actually get 10240.16384. 10240.16405 is the day-one patch/update for the general public.

Has anyone noticed that Windows 10 is already being loaded on to some machines?

.16384 won't go on the FTP until it's abandonware since it's the final RTM and has been put on USB sticks, and most likely also the one ending up on MSDN.

Yeah, but there are files missing. Boot.wim is not there. Manually starting the installer returns with error. :)

[skywalker06]

i got a 'boot' folder but no boot.wim, also the install is in .esd format, and finally i can launch setup but can't go pass the 'install now' screen

EDIT1: ok install launched but error'd out on missing boot.wim
EDIT2: after using 10166 boot.wim setup error'd out on 'windows was unable to create required installation folder'

[Goldfish64]

Mine is downloading as well (except the Modern Setup Host disappeared from Task Manager and it looks to have stopped for now):

This is on a domain-joined system, so even though the tray app won't launch, whatever started the download doesn't care about domains.

EDIT: Something is definitely downloading (I have Hyper-V installed, this is not a VM):

Can you open an admin cmd and run "bitsadmin /list /allusers /verbose > bitslog.txt" and upload the contents of bitslog.txt to pastebin?

Here you go: http://pastebin.com/m7ZnzL0H. It looks like the download is complete, though. I do have 3 other machines this can be tried on that have not started downloading.

I know its a staged roll out but both my 8.1 machines have the same login account that was registered as an insider and neither has started downloading anything yet. (It's 3.33pm on the 29th here as I'm in GMT 12+ for my timezone). I am curious whether anyone around here has actually got any bits who isn't actively using a previous 10 build as it only seems to be appearing in North America and that area from what I see on twitter.

Edit: the win7 machine in the other room has it downloaded but its not "ready".

I haven't got anything yet , and it is already morning in my timezone....
