Preview Build Section gone from Windows Tech Preview

So, I noticed that after updating to Windows Tech Preview Build 9860, the preview build section is gone from my settings in zPC settings. Is this a glitch or did Microsoft temporally remove it? Thanks.

It's there, you're just not looking in the right place.
There are two settings Apps - PC Settings and zPC Settings.
Look in PC Settings, under
Update and recovery. The Preview builds section is there in build 9860.

Preview icon was gone from dock

Hi everyone
I have a problem with Mountain Lion. When I opened a pdf documents with Preview, it worked fine. After I closed the document (without quitting Preview) then I clicked on desktop, the Preview icon was gone from the dock. But when I opened Force quit menu, the Preview app was still on.
What should I do? It didn't happen before
Thanks

Right. This is how Applications are supposed to work. So you want Preview to behave the same, but in your situation it is disappearing from the Dock even though its clearly still running in the background (ie, as is evident when you open the force-quit window)?
This could be a problem with the Dock's settings, or those for the Preview application itself.
If you create a new user account for testing purposes (in the Users & Groups system preferences) and log into that account, does the same problem happen when running Preview?

Hyper-V Not Enabling on Build 10041 of the Windows Technical Preview

So I am running build 10041 of the Windows technical preview. I am not able to enable the Hyper-V Platform. Here are the steps:
Go to Control Panel -> Program and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off - > Select Hyper-V Platform Checkbox.
Windows will perform the install and request a restart.
While restarting, I will get the updating windows message and at about 95 % it gives me a message to the tune of "Unable to update windows" and it roll backs the changes and restarts. No Hyper-V.
Note that I can install the Hyper-V tools with out any issues just the Hyper-V Hypervisor and Hyper-V services will not install.
Anyone have any ideas?

Can't provide an answer, but I have the same problem. I'd originally let my 9926 build, with Hyper-V installed and working, upgrade to the 10041 build. After installation things seemed OK, until I noticed I had no network connections working. They were all
still there, but I had no network access and trying to view the properties of either my physical NIC or the Hyper-V switches just gave me an error.
I tried uninstalling Hyper-V, but after doing that Windows wouldn't boot at all. It'd begin to start up, get almost to the login screen, but then die and reboot. I decided a rebuild would probably be best anyway, so I chose to do a Refresh when it offered
me the advanced repair options.
The Refresh mostly went well, the PC is running better now with a clean install, but I'm now stuck in the same situation where the Hyper-V server won't install. It installs, reboots, gets part way through configuring, then claims to fail and backs it all
out again. No real diagnostic info presented as to why.

Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

Hello,
I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
What could be the problem?
Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
in task category Windows Update Agent..
I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
registry key as suggested in Windows
Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
"BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
"ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
"ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.
Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
Thank you in advance.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Hi,
According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.

Always-on-top preview of section of another window?

Is there any way I can get a preview of a section of another window, that will always stay on top in the top right-hand corner of my screen (except when I switch to that window)?
Specifically, I'm playing Runescape on a single monitor (laptop) and I frequently alt-tab out to do other things in the meantime. It would be awesome if I could get a window that's a preview of the 200x200 pixel square around my character so that I can see what he's doing (and when he's finished, so I can make him do something else).
Does anyone know of something that can get me this functionality?

karol wrote:dwm uses tags, so one tag can be e.g. mpv playing a movie fullscreen, another tag will have a bunch of terminals and the same mpv playing the movie in a small window.
I don't know if it woks with Runescape.
Will it let me preview only a certain subsection of the window? Scaling a 1920x1080 window down to an unobtrusive size would probably not let me see my character anymore =\. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'm looking into dwm right now.
Also, this is what I'm ideally trying to get (notice the preview in the bottom-right):

Installing Windows 10 Tech Preview on Yoga 13 as dual boot

Hi guys,
I'm new here, but have the Yoga 13 for almost 2 years now.
But that's not the case though
I'm having problems installing the Windows 10 Technical Preview on my machine on a new partition. I have lowered the storage on my Windows8_OS drive with around 40GB. Got everything ready for install and got the Bios to boot from the USB. But when i'm about to choose the partition to install the Tech Preview, the button NEXT won't show. All I get is the message: "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style".
As this is the Lenovo Forums, I though you guys might know what causing the problem here.
Hope you guys know what I want and hopefully you have the answer.
Thanks in advance.
Details about my machine:
Processor: Intel i7
RAM: 8GB
Type system: 64-bits
SDD: 256GB
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Bro,
I had the same problem, I am using lenovo ideapad yoga 13 with 128GB only. So you have more space.
Anyway, you have to follow the procedure by step by step.
1. Check your system properties about windows x86 or x64 and download the proper iso file in to your local directory.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/preview-download?ocid=tp_site_downloadpage
Mine is a 64 bit version. So I downloaded x64.
2. Download rufus at below link
http://rufus.akeo.ie/
3. Then insert a thumb drive (at least 16GB) then choose GPT partition scheme and locate the disc image file.
4. Once you are done, restart the computer, go to bios (pressing F2), just check USB is set 1st boot device.
Then you will be able to install on your secondary partition.
Now I am posting this reply from W10-tech preview only. Wish you good luck. If still need more details, please feel to ask me. Thanks

Windows 8.1 bad updates, it updates to look like Win Tech Preview!

Windows 8.1 without last updates has a some features that are different to Windows 8.1 with last updates, here are some:
1) Windows 8.1 WU ( Without updates ) has a bottom actionbar track when you right click it, and Windows 8.1 WTU ( With last updates ) have white panel like Windows Tech Preview! It have shut down button, that didnt exist, new ALL APPS screen
and other changed functions!
Why Microsoft do that? Some peoples love our Windows 8.1 with its features, and they dont want features that are in Win Tech Preview!

Hi,
First, I would like to confirm what the "bottom actionbar track" stands for. Would you please post back the screenshot of your issue?
Considering that the issue can be caused by corrupted update installation or configuration. Please list out the updates you have installed before this issue.
I suggest you perform a system restore before these updates and then try to install them one by one manually to see if there is one of them cause your issue, then post back for our research.

(Current Build: 9841) PC Settings - Preview Builds - Download Now - Failed to download new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246017

Hey ,
I hope someone can help.. been trying to upgrade from 9841 to 9860 for the last few days.. and I cant seem to get the preview build download part to work..
Seems like "80246017 Flight Settings Failure Content Download Error: Download failed" is the main error (more logs below)
And it doesn't seem like(from other blog posts) there are any manual downloads (ISO, .EXE's) so I'm stuck.
I know I could possibly do a full "clean" re-install of 9841 and then upgrade to 9860 but I really want to find out why its not working..
Cheers

Hi,
I had this same issue and tried many things to fix it. I finally found a fix with a small registry edit.
Open command prompt under admin and follow these steps (which I found here:

reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdInternal" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdOptedIn" /f
After you have done that open regedit and navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
If there is a folder called "recovered from" delete it. Then open up Windows Update in PC settings and go to preview builds and click Check Now
This worked for me. Hopes it works for you to.

Windows 10 Tech Preview Will Not Run On Oracle VM - Newest Build 2015

I've been quite pumped to install the new Tech Preview for W10 on my VB.
I DL'ed the new ISO and tried to boot it up but it game me this error:

I gave it 4096MB of RAM, with 256MB of VRAM allocated to it. 3D Acceleration is also enabled. I'm not too sure if this is an Oracle VM problem, or an ISO problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I am trying to install Windows 10 in Virtual Box on my HP Pavilion DV6 running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I set up the Win10 virtual machine following these instructions: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/how-to-install-windows-10-developers-preview-in/e98dd450-02d2-4519-b6a3-6743bedcf777
However, I am receiving the following error: 'VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it.' When I click continue, the VM provides the following
message: 'Your PC needs to restart. Please hold down the power button. Error Code: 0x0000000A Parameters: 0xFFD00000 0x000000FF 0x0000000A 0x8192F5E3'
After some further research, I found that I need to enable virtualization and hyperthreading. I downloaded Speccy and determined that my PC is capable of virtualization, and it was already enabled; however, hyperthreading is not supported. I have been hearing
good things about Windows 10, and I should really like to give it a test run. Is the error with Virtual Box or Windows 10 or Windows 10 running in Virtual Box? Is there anything I can do to make it work? Thanks for any help.
Any reason why you would not consider dual boot Win 7 and Win 10 TP ?
I had an Acer Aspire laptop running Win 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit. I dual booted with Win 10 TP. That's starting from build 9841 to 9926. I dual booted twice and I had no problem doing it.

About the error: "The account is not authorized to login from this station" when you access NAS devices from Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926)

Scenario:
With the release of Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926), some users may encounter an error message of “The account is not authorized to login from this station” when trying to access remote files saved in NAS storage. In
addition, the following error log may also be found via Event Viewer:
Rejected an insecure guest logon.
This event indicates that the server attempted to log the user on as an unauthenticated guest but was denied by the client. Guest logons do not support standard security features such as signing and encryption. As a result,
guest logons are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks that can expose sensitive data on the network. Windows disables insecure guest logons by default. Microsoft does not recommend enabling insecure guest logons.
Background:
The error message is due to a change we made in Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926) which is related to security and remote file access that may affect you.
Previously, remote file access includes a way of connecting to a file server without a username and password, which was termed as “guest access”.
With guest access authentication, the user does not need to send a user name or password.
The security change is intended to address a weakness when using guest access. While the server may be fine not distinguishing among clients for files (and, you can imagine in the home scenario that it doesn’t
matter to you which of your family members is looking at the shared folder of pictures from your last vacation), this can actually put you at risk elsewhere. Without an account and password, the client doesn’t end up with a secure connection to the server.
A malicious server can put itself in the middle (also known as the Man-In-The-Middle attack), and trick the client into sending files or accepting malicious data. This is not necessarily a big concern in your home, but can be an issue when you take your
laptop to your local coffee shop and someone there is lurking, ready to compromise your automatic connections to a server that you can’t verify. Or when your child goes back to the dorm at the university. The change we made removes the ability to connect
to NAS devices with guest access, but the error message which is shown in build 9926 does not clearly explain what happened. We are working on a better experience for the final product which will help people who are in this situation.
As a Windows Insider you’re seeing our work in progress; we’re sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused.
Suggestion:
You may see some workarounds (eg. making a registry change restores your ability to connect with guest access).
We do NOT recommend making that change as it leaves you vulnerable to the kinds of attacks this change was meant to protect you from.
The recommended solution is to add an explicit account and password on your NAS device, and use that for the connections. It is a one-time inconvenience,
but the long term benefits are worthwhile. If you are having trouble configuring your system, send us your feedback via the Feedback App and post your information here so we can document additional affected scenarios.

Windows Preview Build Settings Missing/Unavailable from Build 10049

The Preview Build settings has been missing from 10049. I have tried doing Windows Update registry change to enable that option in the Windows Update through settings and also through the control panel but still no success. Please tell me how can i look
upto that?

The Windows Registry version trick doesnt work in build 10049 and after runnning the registry script also there is no windows update option available. You cant just manually select updates to install. Its really a tough job updating your computer.
Moreover, the concept of fast rings and slow rings when a product is under development is useless as the latest updates should be processed simultaneously for everyone and the users should be allowed to download the ISO of the latest builds released on fast
rings via windows update. The windows update mechanisms should be changed.
