    I just installed it and same build number here.

    No standout bugs so far, so that's nice.

    My last CU install from WU did something b0rky, and my windows install wouldn't pass SFC, no matter what. So instead of installing from WU, I updated using the Updater Tool. I noticed it took longer than normal for the process, but when it was done, SFC was pleased. Ergo, I am pleased. :)

    That was my intention, which is why I chose the Updater option vs. WU.

    I did have a similar issue where updates got into a mucked up state, but only in a VM where i hadn't been keeping 19041 up to date.

    CBS and DISM were adamant that there was a fault in the downloaded patch files, eventually i found it was a serving stack signing change that required 19041.267 as an intermediary to get to the 19041.3xx patches - since this was a preview cumulative, it was not obtainable online once it had been replaced.

    In the end i was required to find the next package including a servicing stack update and loading it via DISM - that was 19041.421.

    Haven't had any further issues with patch installation since 19041 left preview in that regards.

    Just downloading to install it. It's about time for a clean installation. Thank you, mate.

    By the way, I wish Microsoft would give us 1 version in 6 months with all their new features they keep adding and for the next 6 months only fixes. Keep adding features every time and even in-between causes clutter/mess. It sounds cliche and then some, but we truly became the beta testers ( I know, none is forcing me to install the latest and someone will point out the LTSC version ).

    sometimes you just need to kill the searchapp.exe for that.

    no.

    I can type anything in to the "metro ui" same for file explorer, nothing types and which guess is why start menu search dont work either , every thing has been reset

    looks like the busted compactos i mentioned previously is preventing WU from working, i can't wait till 21h1 is closer to completion and i can rebuild it.


    Confirmed: set compactos back to never and the WU's went through fine, i will dig into the registry and see if the wof service is working.
