1392945 2015-06-21 07:38:00 Microsoft is not leaking these builds

at the end of the day the internal builds that Microsoft are testing are all coming out thru the Windows Insiders program, so you just need some patience

You can imagine the uproar if Microsoft released builds that are not ready for wide scale usage testing

Last line, wont be much of an uproar at all. Why ? Simple -- These "leaks" are unofficial releases and who ever has them knows this.

But even saying that -- the last "official" offering is full of faults, Its dead easy to break the start menu completely by simply selecting one setting that is available.

As for the unofficial release:


Windows 10 build 10147 is now available for download if you know where to look, but keep in mind that, since it is an unofficial release, Microsoft won’t provide any kind of support or assistance in case you come across bugs or performance issues.

This build got leaked from China and appears to come from a Microsoft partner. It is only available in 64-bit version for the time being.

Windows 10 Build 10147 has the build string of 10147.0.150613-1600, indicating it’s compiled on June 13th, 2015, barely a week ago, making it the fastest leak after a build was signed off by Microsoft.

1392946 2015-06-21 07:42:00 and why would I want it? :) In case you wanted to reserve it. Personally I wont be upgrading ANY of the day to day usage PC's for at least 3 months. There will still be faults on the 29th.

One in particular I'll be looking for -- How easy it is to break the start menu -- When it breaks its totally useless, wont open at all.( only right clicking does as per 8.1)

There will still be faults on the 29th.You can still reserve it via the windows update window. Like you I won't be upgrading my main machine on July 29 - just the version I've been using for evaluation. Tony (4941)
1392948 2015-06-21 11:29:00 Further relating to the Leaked 10147 build, it obviously has the making of how MS will be handling activation and fresh installing from a ISO.

1392949 2015-06-21 19:50:00 yay finally an answer of sorts to the main question gary67 (56)
1392950 2015-06-25 19:37:00 The "Get Windows 10" icon in the notification area is back - and also the Windows update page has changed to push it more prominently as well. Tony (4941)
1392951 2015-06-25 21:31:00 MS is still in the 'experimenting' stage! LOL bk T (215)
1392952 2015-06-25 21:48:00 MS is still in the 'experimenting' stage! LOLI don't think they ever stop. What I'm talking about is on Win7 of course. Tony (4941)
1392953 2015-06-25 22:00:00 Windows 10 so some are saying is basically ready, just sorting out some bugs etc .

At the end of the day, I'll be putting it on a workshop PC right away, but not on any office computers till at least a month or three . First thing I'll be doing is checking to see if the start menu breakage is still there or been fixed .

Nathan posted it will all come together by the RTM Hmmmmmmm

W10 so we are told is ongoing, meaning there will be new or currently disabled functions activated as time goes on, so that's where the insider program for testing any new additions will be handy . cant run the latest "Official" build on a laptop, it causes it to overheat and shut down . The leaked build 147 runs much better and stable .

Somethings in the wind for sure, to quote from the insider program: (I've just had the message as well)



One of the MS Support Engineers mentioned that a new build was to be out next week .

On the 27th there is going to be a big maintenance deal all day and that may be when they are getting ready .



The "Get Windows 10" icon in the notification area is back On two of my computers, one minute its there, then its gone again the following day . comes and goes at its own free will by the looks ;) Ones a fresh install, nothing on it but Windows 8 . 1 .

1392954 2015-06-25 22:21:00 So what do you have to do to break the start menu? I'd like to give it a go to see if it applies here as well.
Like you I won't be updating my main environment for a while, but I will upgrade the Preview I have running as a dual boot on the same hardware.
