What is technical preview release means ?

Before j dev 11, I know beta, release cendidate type releases.
But oracle give the name technical preview.
What is technical preview release means ?
what support level can we expect fro tech preview?
what can we expect technical previews?
also what is tech preview 2. is it release candidate release or beta.
Thanks.

I think that all it means is that this version still has bugs that we know of and also some features that will probably be added/changed before production.
As far as support - this forum is the support you'll get for the technology preview release.
Technology preview 2 is a new release with more features and better stability compared to the previous release.

  • Technical Preview Release Notes

    Hello! When will be release notes for DPM TP published? I couldn't find any changes in the product by myself. Does anybody know what improvements to expect?
    http://exchange12rocks.org/ | http://about.me/exchange12rocks

    JavaFX doc is currently not included in the jdk doc and is only available as part of an JavaFX ask install. So you get the latest doc when you install the preview sdk.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/devpreview-1429449.html
    I think the plan is to put the 2.2 javadoc as a download on the jdk download page when jdk7u6 is released.
    If you find mismatched or incorrect doc in the preview release you can file a Jira issue to get it fixed or update the open source to submit a javadoc patch.

  • [Forum FAQ] How to show Windows Update in Control Panel in Clean Installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

    Scenario
    If you performed a clean installation of the new Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926, you would find Windows Update is only available in
    Settings and is hidden in Control Panel by default. However, Windows Update is still available in Control Panel if it is an upgrade version of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926.
    Solution
    After the comparison of the two different version, the differences is the following registry:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled
    In clean installation version:
    In upgrade version:
    The method to make Windows Update show in Control Panel in the clean installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926:
    Edit the REG_DWORD value of IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled from 1 to 0.

    We’ve seen a few forum posts talking about changing registry keys to alter the update experience we shipped in Technical Preview build 9926. There are a couple of reasons that we don’t recommend doing things like that.
    First, the default experience is what we’ve tested across not just the Windows 10 team, but across all of Microsoft before we released it to you. That doesn’t mean that you won’t still find bugs, but it’s definitely the code that’s been most thoroughly
    tested. Changing things back to older versions is risky because the combination of those old settings with the rest of Windows 10 is not something that’s been validated or supported, so we can’t predict the side effects. It’s possible that changing registry
    settings related to update could cause a machine to no longer be able to get new updates or Technical Preview builds.
    The other reason to avoid changing the default update experience is that a lot of update-related code is actually being re-written in order to scale across the variety of different device types Windows 10 will support. Since Technical Previews are
    a work-in-progress, some code that may still be in build 9926 won’t actually ship in the final version of Windows 10 that we provide to all our customers, so trying to re-enable that code temporarily won’t provide a way to accurately assess Windows 10’s update
    capabilities.
    We want to hear your feedback! We’re sharing Technical Preview releases early so we can understand exactly how customers are using our software and make sure we are designing our experiences to address those scenarios. The more
    specific the feedback, the more helpful it is for us – saying “I hate the new Windows Update UI” isn’t very useful, but when we see “I need to be able to tell Windows Update to grab updates from WU itself and not from my internal corporate server, so the new
    Windows Update UI is painful for me”, we can actually understand what changes we could make to solve those specific problems. We can’t promise to fix everything that everyone asks for – and sometimes what one customer wants is exactly what another customer
    doesn’t want – but the more you can help us understand why you want something changed, the better we can try to meet those needs.
    Thanks for listening, and we look forward to hearing your responses.

  • What are you doing to fix the printing problem in Win 10 Technical Preview?

    I am beta testing the new Microsoft Windows 10 Technical Preview. I and many others are experiencing a problem with Firefox in this operating system. Web pages will not print from Firefox. When you send a page to the printer, it comes out blank, even though it displays properly in the the preview window. This problem exists on both 32 and 64 bit systems and only with Windows 10.
    Some information related to this can be seen at: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_tp-performance/anyone-having-a-problem-printing-from-firefox-in/b05be085-d36f-426f-9224-fe36f8f55af0
    I hope you can help with this problem.

    There is a bug on file for this but it's still in the early stages of investigation, as you can see:
    [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1089188 1089188 – Printing blank pages on Windows 10]
    I think someone with knowledge of Windows printing will need to step up and examine what has changed on the Windows print API side, or it could be a while before this gets addressed.
    As long as you are experimenting, do you want to try:
    (1) The Print pages to PDF extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/print-pages-to-pdf/ - this does not use Firefox's print code, but extracts the page to an embedded Webkit-based renderer.
    (2) Waterfox: https://www.waterfoxproject.org/ - this unofficial third party build of the Firefox code is recompiled for 64-bit Windows. If this works correctly with your printers, it might be a useful data point.

  • Error adding Win Server Technical Preview host to Virtual Machine Manager Technical Preview

    I've built Win Server Preview (latest build 9888).Also build System Center Technical Preview, on another server (VM), and now trying to add Server Tech Preview hosts to VMM.
    However VMMService is crashing, with error below.
    Note I have tried multiple scenarios, including upgrade hosts from 2012 R2, install fresh as server Core, install fresh full-GUI hosts, enable Hyper-V before adding to VMM, allow VMM to enable Hyper-V...
    also RunAs user is administrator of hosts and VMM, computer accounts have been added to all administrator groups, WinRM quickconfig has been run, firewall is off..
    ..however VMM vNext refuses to add Server vNext hosts. (however - I can add Server 2012 R2 hosts to VMM vNext with no problem)
    NOTE - also, when Server Manager starts, I get "Error occurred while loading the plug-in for 481. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation". After this the File and Storage Services node in Server Manager is missing. Not sure if
    this is related to the error below; but I get this issue in all servers built with latest .9888 build.
    Error from VMM server when trying to add Tech Preview host is as follows -
    VMM encountered a critical exception and created an exception report at c:\programdata\VMMLogs\abcdefg...etc.

    @Paul Adare, Your replies have zero value. An apology or retraction for your accusation of piracy would have been more appropriate.
    If you don't have any insight to add on the topic of this post, please stop spamming it.
    I did not accuse you of anything. The build in question has been pirated
    and is floating around the Internet and Microsoft has not, in fact released
    the build to the general pubic. Those are facts. I have also been involved
    in various TAP programs over the years and I know that there are dedicated
    support channels for those programs and that you are to use those dedicated
    support channels, not the support channels made available to the public
    releases. Also a fact.
    If you want support for your issues, the only way you're going to get
    that support is what I told you. Whether you choose to avail yourself of
    that support is up to you.

  • 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.

  • Update Operation Fatal Error when installing Technical Preview Build 10041 Upgrade

    I posted this in the Microsoft Community forums and was redirected here.
    Below is the original post (URL: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/update-operation-fatal-error-when-installing/6eaff1b9-0223-4357-afc8-884382590e82 )
    Hello,
    In trying to perform an upgrade install of the Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041 (as is the latest available for direct download as of my writing), I am running into a problem I cannot find mention of anywhere else on the web.
    I fall into two categories with regards to this build: A) Product tester who actually needs to test application performance under Windows 10 on bare metal, B) Semi-crazy techie who loves using (usable) beta software as his primary environment ;)
    so it is rather important to me that I get this working on my machine in some non-virtualized respect. I am reluctant to do a full/fresh install if installation problems are happening, because my Windows 8 product key has been f***ed up from the
    start (likely some random database corruption) and I've had to utilize phone support to get around an "unknown error" the last two times I've had to use it. So, for fear of that key completely crapping out on me, I don't want to move to Win10 unless
    I'm confident it will install and I can stick with it (for better or worse) through the end. Problems within the Preview after I install it I can deal with.
    So, I first tried to install the Preview through the standard Windows Update method. The installer took about 7 hours (but from reading lots of internet discussions, stupidly long install times in that range seem to be a common problem with
    this builds separate from it actually failing). During the reboot between the "Setting up Devices" (Or is it Setting up Drivers? I forget) and "Taking Care of a Few More Things" (Again, possibly paraphrased), for about a split second, underneath
    the Windows logo and throbber, some error like this appeared:
    Fatal Error Performing Update Operation # of ##: ERROR CODE
    It only appeared for a fraction of a second, and I had no chance of reading the precise numbers or error.
    However, the installer then seemed to continue, and went until the main circle was at 100%. As soon as 100% hit, however, the screen went black for something like 30min. Then, I briefly saw "Attempting to recover installation" before "Restoring
    your previous version of Windows." And I was, quite impressively considering how far along that installer was, back in Windows 8.1 completely unharmed.
    I tried again by burning an ISO and doing a disc upgrade install. I let that one run overnight and was asleep for the error, but I was back in Win8.1 in the morning, so I can only assume a similar thing happened there.
    As for my system specs, I'm running on a MacBook Pro 9,1 under Boot Camp. I am upgrading from Windows 8.1.2 Pro with Media Center. I have found other online accounts of people quite successfully installing Windows 10 on Macs, so that isn't the issue.
    Does anyone have any clue as to what this error might have been/be, and how I might fix it? Or at least have it on good authority that a fresh installation would be unaffected (meaning it's software-related)? If not, I can try installing to a VHD,
    which would at least let me product test on bare metal, but wouldn't have the harddrive space to be my daily driver and would probably only get used occasionally.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
    So far, I have the yet-to-be-tried idea of a clean boot prior to installation.
    If anyone here has any more specific ideas, lemme hear 'em.
    Thanks!

    To the individual who proposed this as an answer to my problem: It's not even applicable. I specifically stated that I was trying to avoid doing a clean installation (at least without knowing more about the problem at hand). An answer saying to do the thing
    you're trying to avoid doing is not an answer. You can see my last reply for the current status of this issue. 6-8 hour blocks of time in which I can't use my computer (as is required to install build 10041) aren't super common for me, but I haven't abandoned
    this thread. There have simply been no more updates. If your motivation as a mod was that you simply don't like there being unanswered threads on this forum, then perhaps you could attempt to contribute rather than arbitrarily marking the first reply as an
    answer.
    I will continue to update this thread as I try new things and get more information.
    Thank you.

  • Windows 10 Technical Preview 9926 activation

    I just upgraded my Windows 10 Techincal Preview 9879 to the new 9926 build, and it seems needs to be activated.
    I tried to use the product key displayed on the ISO download page (NKJFK-GPHP7-G8C3J-P6JXR-HQRJR), but it doesn't work.
    Also if I try to just activate the Windows with the older key, it says: "Windows can't activate. Try again later."
    So, the problem is with me or the OS? What should I do?

    I had the same problem. This has happened to me on every in-place upgrade in the Technical Preview. I don't understand why it's not activated automatically. I noticed that the time service is not running (why, I don't know), so I cannot sync my time automatically
    with time.windows.com under Internet Time Settings. My time setting is correct however.
    Regardless, since it would not accept automatic activation, I found the correct product key to enter in this thread:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/default-product-key-for-windows-10-technical/fda85fbc-4f4e-47ec-ae84-3b6759723450
    For Enterprise edition use this product key: PBHCJ-Q2NYD-2PX34-T2TD6-233PK
    It worked for me.
    Note: there are also some updates available for this build, so install those and maybe that will help.
    I've had problems with activation after the in-place upgrade from 9879 to 9926. Upgraded Windows showed it wasn't activated. Any attempts to activate it failed.
    I tried to force activation by typing
    slui 3
    and used the well-known PBHCJ-Q2NYD-2PX34-T2TD6-233PK key. No luck. Windows reported that it cannot be activated with this key.
    Resorted to do a clean install of 9926. I am highly surprised with what I saw regarding the update from 9879 to 9926. Even now when I write these lines, I can't: use ENTER (doesn't create a new line in the post text box), use DEL, only
    BackSpace works. I mean, even Microsoft forums don't work flawless with new IE. That is to say that I wasn't surprised Windows didn't update and activate properly; seems like MSFT did many changes to this build since 9879. The 9926 seems to
    be a completely new Windows in many parts, not only the UI/UX. 
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

  • Windows 10 technical preview BSOD when running Lightroom

    I have been running Lightroom on a PC with the Windows 10 Technical Preview.  I have been experiencing frequent crashed (BSOD) but they're primarily when I'm running Lightroom.  I've never had any problems with Lightroom on Windows 7,8, or 8.1, but now with Windows 10 something is wrong.  I also rarely see any problems with Windows 10 when I'm NOT running Lightroom.  It really seems like some issue with Lightroom and Windows 10.
    I'm just curious if anyone else evaluating Windows 10 has run into problems with Lightroom.

    I don't think you understand...
    I'm not expressing frustration with either Lightroom or Windows 10... 
    I'm not using Windows 10 for anything critical.  People like me sign up for things like Windows Insider and technical previews to help test the product in day-to-day situations to help make sure they work prior to final release. It's also an opportunity to evaluate the look and feel for the product. I realize that perhaps not all software companies do that, but thankfully, Microsoft does.  The more people out there testing things like this, the better the chances that software will work as expected when it's released.
    Of course, I have submitted feedback to Microsoft on what I have encountered, but I was also wondering if there are other Lightroom users who may have encountered similar problems or if I'm the only one.

  • Wireless mouse issues with technical preview

    I installed the technical preview with no problem on my laptop running windows 7 - except now the wireless mouse (Microsoft 4000) does not work and is not found when I try to trouble shoot. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Michael,
    Regarding current information, I recommend to check the setupapi.dev.log under %windir%\inf, locate the device (wireless mouse) and find the line under this device name as below:
    dvi:             Rank         - 0x00000000
    Then, corresponds the score in this link:
    Identifier Score
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff546297(v=vs.85).aspx
    The value 0x00003000 is the best identifier score and the value 0x00003FFF is the worst identifier score.
    The score near 0x00003FFF means that the driver and device may not compatible with current system.
    Since Windows 10 tech preview is the newest released version and still in test, we may need to wait for the menufacturer’s driver update to compatible with Windows 10.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Does SB Audigy 2 ZS with daniel_k's Support Pack 5.0 work fine on Windows 10 Technical Preview?

    So the newest build was released which is the official Technical Preview, would love to try it on my own, but last time I did - which was several build ago - I couldn't save my sound settings, which sucked. Something to do with the lack of hibernation option probably, no idea how that works.
    I would love if someone with a working Audigy 2 ZS on latest W10 would share his experience, I'm especially interested if the settings changes actually do anything.

    I think you should put the card in another PC and see if it installs fine there, just to isolate the problem a bit.

    I am using Windows 8.1 Update 1, the driver will be bug and no longer want to install? Already cleaned the registry with CCleaner removed the folders creative, and even already tried uninstalling with the fusion driver, already tried using KillDrv.exe however says that no driver is installed that not in the photo above, and to the driver that windows try to install the windows update is giving error while installing that "creative processor driver"! I do not know what to do, my last option would be to format the windows, however I think I'll buy a Samsung SSD 120gb when buying'll format the windows!

  • X-Fi Titanium on Windows 10 Technical Preview 2 (build 9926) - anyone made it work?

    As in title - was anyone able to make this soundcard work on latest build of windows 10? Installing windows 8.1 driver on previous technical preview was making the card work, installing on current build is close to pointless as card is not working properly and creative control panel can't start as it can't find device.

I just do not think that would happen. It is simply not economically feasible, regardless of any "good will" that it may create. Good will does not keep the lights on if you know what I mean.
    That had better not be an official response from this company, because the backlash may well be more than they can bear.
    Yea, we'll update our cards if we have to, but it won't be to another creative product.
    In their case, "good will" is the only **** thing that will keep the lights on...

    Windows 10 Technical Preview
    installed windows 10 tech preview for PC ( UK )
    after installing the tech preview for PC in the latest VM Workstation I was liking what I was seeing However I had to Uninstall as Most of the time it was either to slow or unresponsive to use even giving it 2 gig ram 60 gig of hard drive space nothing else
    installed just what it came with and it was hammering the CPU and Memory was surprised really Considering I have used beta's and tech previews before and they were all ok apart from Windows 10 I still believe it was the VM's fault for the Performance issues,
    Never Mind Here's to the stable Release Sometime this Year.
    P. W

    Hi P.W,
    Thank you for your feedback.
    I am also testing Windows 10 using VMs, and it works good, or we may say most of the times.
    Sometimes it responds slowly, and after the upgrade to a newer version or some Windows Update, it will get back to normal.
    There are also some known issues listed on Windows Blog when new versions are released, you may check the information at hte site below:

  • [Forum FAQ]Tips on Upgrading Windows 10 Technical Preview from Build 9841 to 9860

    The new Build 9860 for Windows 10 Technical Preview has been released recently. Here, I would like to share some experience on upgrading Windows 10 Technical Preview from Build 9841 to 9860.
    Tip 1: How to use Refresh option to upgrade.
    Scenario
    In order to upgrade to Build 9860, the new preview build should be downloaded firstly:
    PC settings-> Upgrade and recovery->
    Preview builds, which is as shown below.
    If there are multiples PCs which are running Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9841 need to be upgraded, you may just want to use one copy of downloaded preview build to upgrade all of them instead of downloading the new build on each PC.
    Solution
    If you have upgraded one PC from Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9841 to 9860, the downloaded preview build (install.esd) can be used to upgrade other PCs. Here we can use install.esd to export the install.wim, then this intall.wim can be used as a recovery
    image.
    Step 1: Understand the basic information about install.esd.
    Install.esd file is located at C:\ $WINDOWS.~BT\sources folder at first. When the upgrade is finished, it would be copied to
    C:\RecoveryImage folder. Here is the information in setupact.log which contains information about setup actions during installation:
    2014-10-28 19:03:38, Info SP Moving file D:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Install.esd to D:\RecoveryImage\Install.esd
    What’s more, the command Dism /Get-Wiminfo /Wimfile:<path_to_install.esd> is used to display the information about the file install.esd:
    Step 2: Export the file install.wim.
    The following command is used to export Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9860 image:
    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:<path_to_install.esd>
    /SourceIndex:4 /DestinationImageFile:<path_to_install.wim> /Compress:recovery
    Step 3: Copy exported install.wim to other Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9841 computers, and set the recovery image.
    For example, the install.wim has been copied to C:\image folder, the following command is used to set the recovery image:
    Reagentc /setosimage /path C:\image /index 1 /target C:\Windows.
    Step 4: Use Refresh option to upgrade your PC.
    Go to
    Update and recovery setting under PC settings, choose
    Refresh your PC without affecting your files:
    Note:
    Applications needed to be reinstalled.
    System would use the exported install.wim to refresh Windows 10 Technical Preview from Build 9841 to 9860:
    Note: If you use install.esd to refresh directly, just need point the index location as 4:
    Reagentc /setosimage /path C:\image /index 4 /target C:\Windows. However, install.wim is easier for deployment, such as creating bootable USB, WDS and SCCM deployment.
    Tip 2: Workground to upgrade native boot VHD.
    Scenario
    Many users use the method native boot into VHD to test Windows 10 Technical Preview. However, there is a limitation on native boot when using VHDs:
    If you boot from a VHD, you cannot upgrade the Windows version in the VHD to a newer version. This article describes how to upgrade VHD system Windows 10 Technical Preview from Build 9841 to 9860.
    Solution
    Step 1: Upgrade in Hyper-V.
    Use Hyper-v to create a new virtual machine, and use your native boot VHD
    as an existing virtual hard disk:
    If booting from this virtual disk directly, it would fail to start due to lacking of boot files. You can use Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9841 ISO file to repair the startup issue:     
    You can boot intosystem successfully in Hyper-v, then the upgrade process would be supported.
    Step 2: Create Native Boot to VHD.
    When the upgrade is finished, shut down the virtual machine, use the same way to create Native Boot to VHD:
    Mount the 9860 native boot VHD file.
    Use the following command to create boot entry for VHD system: Bcdboot
    v:\windows (v: represents the mounted virtual disk drive letter).

    Hi Arman mohseni,
    From my observation, if I click download now, it would create a BITS task:
    We can use following command to check:
    Import-module bitstransfer
    Get-bitstransfer –allusers
    From the output, we can see the system account created a BITS job for transferring, under the C:\Windows\Software Distribution\download, we can get the temporary downloaded file, which is approximately about 2.5G.
    After we restart, and go to C:\Windows\Software Distribution\download, the temporary file is gone.
    If I click the download again, the BITS would create a new task, a new temporary file, if we compare the JobIds of the two times downloading, they are totally different.
    On the other hand, if we download a windows update, the JobId would be kept, and the temporary files would be kept, too.
