October 21, 201411 yr Microsoft is releasing it's first major new build for the Windows 10 Technical Preview (Build 9860) today, and will push it out via Windows Update during the next few days (nights). Or it can be downloaded and installed manually via PC Settings > Update and Recovery > Preview Builds. Microsoft says the download size will vary from 2 Gb to 2.7 Gb. I think I'm downloading it now, but there's no indicator of progress other than the spinning-circle-of-dots thingy. Oops, the circle-of-dots thingy just stopped spinning, and has been replaced by an "Install now" button. Wish me luck. Edited October 21, 201411 yr by CompUser
October 22, 201411 yr Oh well, StartIsBack didn't work after installing the new build, so I was going to uninstall and reinstall it. Of course, it uninstalled with no problem, but the installation program won't run so I can't reinstall it. I've tried troubleshooting compatibility, telling it to run as Windows 8, but no go. I just can't get past the "This version of StartIsBack is not intended for this Windows version" error. (Even downloading a fresh copy of the installer didn't work like it did with the first build.)

October 23, 201411 yr I have a question for anyone who is able to run StartIsBack on Windows Technical Preview Build 9860. How? I had it installed and (sort of) working on the first release, but when I try to install it on Build 9860, I can't get past the error "This version of StartIsBack is not intended for this Windows version". I've tried everything I can think of, with both versions 1.6.2 and 1.7 Beta, but it just won't install. Thanks.
October 23, 201411 yr OK, I tried again, and for some reason I can't figure out, it installed this time. However, there are three problems. First, I have no Shut Down button in the Start Menu. Second, I have no access to the Start Screen because none of the hot corners work, and none of the options for launching it in combination with the Windows key work either. Third, on the Start Menu, All Programs Menu, everything is sort of faded out and hard to read. Any help with these would be greatly appreciated, and sorry for the multiple posts.
October 24, 201411 yr MSFN is not responsible for StartIsBack Cut it out. The developers choose what they want to do and how they do it.

November 9, 201411 yr Author StartIsBack +1.7 RC What's new since beta:- Pinned items are stored in Windows 10 compatible format- Minor fixes for old quirks (like Windows Update wrong icon; start button opening start screen while Charms is open) Need some feedback if conversion process goes smoothly for all.
November 14, 201411 yr install went fine here, wonder if there is anything we can do about windows displaying EVERYTHING in the start menu > all programs? cant delete folders there either, all i get is a expand on right-click O.o
November 14, 201411 yr Author If you mean Windows 10, so far partition wipe and Windows 8.1 reinstall may help.
November 14, 201411 yr HELLO ! Tihiy you can do as a menu option startisback be disabled? I refer only to the menu and not all options ...
