    Have you updated your VirtualBox version? It seems this error might have been fixed already. Lookie here: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=62615

    Take a look at the thumbnail of the video on that page. You see all the sorts of devices that are to be within that 1 billion devices including phones, tablets, notebooks, AIO, Xbox and TV. Notice that the Desktop PC is not shown there!

    You'll need to get to the setuperr.log to find which item it had a problem with. But I want to understand how you are using this XML. Are you using it with Windows Setup and a DVD install? The CopyProfile object is only to be used with Sysprep, not for Setup unattend.

    Its a good point. I don't actually plan on using this installation for any sort of normal operation. Even if I were to use Windows 10 at some point in the future, I wouldn't be using IE/Spartan for anything besides MS websites anyways.

    I reinstalled again, and I see that it does say exactly what happens if you choose Express settings. Even the part about sending your browsing history to MS.

    Windows 10 is obviously designed (or intended) to be used in a "connected" world. I do all my work in an isolated network, and during OOBE, Windows puts up an error! It says "Something went wrong" when it tries to find the MS server login/create an account. It is the same behavior as Win 8.x, where if you have no network access, you can just skip to the local account screen. IIRC Windows 8 did not consider no network access to be an error.

    I'm not certain what it specifically means by "color profiles." Is that something you set on the monitor itself, or something you set in the OS? The people reviewing the monitor on that link seem to be overly picky regarding the capabilities of the display. It is likely due to them using monitors in a profession where I can see the need for that. But I think if you are not that demanding of how your monitor looks, then I would disregard most of that. Basically if you can change the settings to make it look good to you, then that is all that is important. Either way, I doubt it is possible to "break" the color settings... Most panel displays I've seen have the ability to reset settings to default.

    I hope they change the use of the words "Windows browsers" to "Internet Explorer" or "Microsoft browsers" or whatever... I think the big one of those options is the one saying your browsing history will be sent to MS. As that could be a privacy violation, a user who is setting up Windows for the first time would not know what they would be getting into by choosing Express Settings. I don't think that it is mentioned on that screen, but I will reinstall tomorrow to take another look. The "automatically connect to networks shared by my contacts" is a weird one. I wonder what that actually means. Since it follows the one about "open networks," (which I'm presuming it means wireless ones) I can't see how Windows would know what wireless networks your "contacts" are connected to. So far Windows 10 looks to be one of these: or or or

    I downloaded the Windows 10 IP x64 build 10074 and decided to choose Customize Settings rather than the Express Settings I normally pick. I'm kinda glad because all of these are enabled by default. The ones switched off are my own choices and I don't feel they should ever be enabled. The ones I left on don't seem to be a big deal to me.

    I also validated your (fixed) answer file against a windows 8.1 image. Those items the validator says are deprecated should be removed. CustomDefaultThemeFile ShowWindowsLive SkipMachineOOBE SkipUserOOBE And of course, get that Theme section out of the Specialize pass and try it again.

    I merged and edited your posts because it is unnecessary to post to nearly identical XML files when you could just post what is different. In the future, use the CODE tags as Dosprobie asked, or attach the XML to the post rather than pasting it into a reply. The forum software makes it difficult to take what you posted and make an XML with it. Your TimeZone in OOBE is invalid. You can try Central Standard Time. Why do you have Themes in both Specialize and oobeSystem passes? The one in specialize is missing its opening tag object.

    Posting your XML may help, if someone were to see something "wrong" off the bat. Did you validate your answer file vs your install.wim using WSIM as asked on Technet? There are times where a completely valid XML works fine on a stock image, yet will generate an error on a customized image.

    Concerning what is downloaded for say... ADK5 DISM... how was it tested or determined which files were needed for DISM to work properly? In my experience, you only need two files from ADK for 8.1 to run that DISM on Windows 7: dism.exe dismapi.dll Or is it just "to play it safe" to grab all the DISM related files?

    Phones seem to becoming larger than they need to be. I saw someone take one of those out of his pocket in line at a restaurant. He looked silly. Anyways, new phones (like cars) often work really great in the first two days. Report back in 3 months if it is still the same.

    Good to know you found a ThinkPad that has a good enough screen to play games on!

    See oma1942's post here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2301203 Other things I've found was people disable the browser protection and/or the error is related to cookies.

    Hmmm an idea is you can use a scheduled task to map the drive using the /persistant:no option. When creating a task with an "at startup" or "at logon" trigger you have an option to delay the task from executing See here for more on triggers: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc748841.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

    This probably won't work. The recovery environment in Windows 8.1 is edition locked, at least when concerning the desktop editions. Did your tablet originally come with Windows 8 with Bing or Windows 8.1 with Bing? Can you still boot into Windows?

    Welcome to the MSFN!

    We can presume that is an option... but since it appears they have removed the "download but let me choose what to install" option, we can't guess at what the final product will look like.

    You can now use your old DEC RL02 on your modern PC via USB!

    Well, stopping your PC from being automagically updated to Windows 10 sounds fairly simple at this point. Build a cheapo-pc or a VM, install a Server OS on it. Make a DC, join your clients to the domain.

    It isn't. KB2990214 is an update to the Windows Update Client. It is a pre-requisite (for now) in order to be able to "update" to Windows 10 when it becomes available. From my understanding (so far) is that KB3035583 is the program that will show the notifications that Windows 10 is available. KB2990214 makes it possible to install it from Windows Update. It also may be that KB2990214 is required for it to show up in the update list? We'll see I guess. PS: KB3035583 was able to be removed with DISM. Since the other one did not show up, I did not know what/how to remove it.

    I'm working on a Windows 7 SP1 x86 image and found it has KB3035583 and KB2990214 in it when looking at installed updates. When I mount the image and /GET-PACKAGES, only the KB3035583 on shows up. Is KB2990214 contained inside another update?
