Microsoft has released Insider Preview Build 14361 for Windows 10 on PC and Mobile with a huge boost for building microservices and cloud.
You can now run Docker natively on Windows 10 with Hyper-V containers, to build, ship and run containers using nano server in technical preview five of Windows Sever 2016, thats due in the third quarter.
Nano Server is a remotely administered server operating system for cloud and data centre lacking local log-on and that only works for 64-bit.
A new version of the Docker engine for Windows has been built, too, which improves DockerFile syntax.
Elsewhere, the Windows 10 build features a plethora of fixes and updates, including a fix for both PC and Mobile addressing the issue of the "strange grey bar" spotted in the Microsoft Edge browser window (third bullet under "Other Improvements and Fixes for PC").
An extension of LastPass has been added for the Edge browser while the inability for YouTube to render properly in Edge and IE because of TCP Fast Open has been fixed.
Windows 10 Update Edition is due next month.
I had an issue where even that (or manual registry changes) would not get the updates to move.
To solve it, I had to use a utility called WSUS Offline Update:
http://download.wsusoffline.net/
That will analyze your system, download the updates you need and forcibly install them even if Windows doesn’t want to cooperate :)
I may have to do this with my wife’s Vista computer.
CPU usage often goes to 100% when windows update is running and makes it nearly impossible to do much of anything else on the computer. It’s an older laptop with a single-core Sempron.
Sometimes I use Belarc Advisor to see which updates are critical, and just download them manually.
I may have to give that a look. Thanks!
That utility is basically going to do the same thing that Belarc does, but you can let it figure out the updates you need and just install them all instead of manually choosing them.
One thing I noticed though, if you are running WSUS and Windows says it needs to restart to finish installing updates, you need to do that. WSUS will still show like it is installing the updates, but it won’t continue until you do the restart and then start the installer again.
If you do not mind being spied on and software that worked perfecting on Windows 7 stops working then Windows 10 is great.
