AudiophileOptimizer - Windows 10 Beta Thread (BETA PHASE CLOSED!)

Recommended Posts

Hi Phil,

 

same issue happened to me. I missed b16 so come from b15 and tried today to update to b17.

 

My AudioPC runs in core mode. Running the setup shows the loading bar, next clicking C the window closes by itself, that's it. Doesn't matter if a reset by ST was done before... same result.

 

Right now did not try on my control PC, since I'm afraid to break my system by getting on system updated and one not.

 

I still run WS2012R2 on both machines.

 

Is there a way to get WS2016 without paying too much money? Is it worth to jump from WS2012R2 to WS2016?

 

Thanks

 

I'm also coming from beta 15 to beta 17 and have just installed it on my single pc running Windows Server 2012 R2 on core mode without any issues...

...

You've asked if it is worth to jump from WS2012R2 to WS2016. The thing is that from what I know WS2016 will not offer core mode anymore.

Thanks for your response AudioAdvanced. I was worried that I had messed things up somehow. Let's hope Phil will be able to provide a solution

Hi

 

Is it possible that you clicked into the Windows with your mouse? This would cause a "freeze", so avoid using the Mouse inside the command window. The Setup routine is the same ever since, no changes there.

 

Did anyone else experience any issues during the update from b16 to b17?

Windows 10 and 2012R2 Essen running here. No issues updating from B16 - B17

it does offer core mode, but only through direct installation. No more switching between modes :-( Minimal-Server has been removed entirely, very bad story.

Did you click the mouse inside the window or not? There's definitely nothing wrong with the installer, sorry. The only thing causing a "freeze" is when you click inside the command window.

When trying to install the upgrade I don't use the mouse at all Phil. I enter the run commands from a command prompt and hit the Enter key. I can't understand why Beta 17 won't install. Beta 16 installs without any problems.

Yes this is very weird. There where no changes inside the installer for a long time. B15/16/17 all the same. I'll have a look via TeamViewer on your machine later on.

A wild stab: Did you try running st -r before the new beta install?

 

I didn't ... What does that do? (Excuse my lack of knowledge on technical aspects of computer audio!)

 

Thanks for the suggestion

 

UPDATE: Just tried it and I now see what it does. I usually choose option A in Service Tool for this. Yes I did try that before installing the new beta

Oh boy... MEA CULPA! :-) i think i found what is causing this in certain cases.

 

@JazzDoc: i will send you a link (probably tonight) with a hopefully fixed version.

Hi Phil

 

I was having the same problem setting up beta 17.

I have now run beta 18 and all is well.

Possibly your Kernel Streaming tweak upped focus and definition a tad.

As always, nice work, Phil. I'm glad you found the issue quickly :)

What Kernel Streaming tweak is it?

Hello,

 

Can someone advise please :-) is there a different activation portal url for the Bata versions? as opposed to released version AO 1.30

 

I'm having an activation problem with the Beta after changing to a new network adapter and I'm wondering if I'm on the right portal.

 

I've seen mention of beta activation porta,l however I have not sighted the url. I must have used it the first time I activated the beta but it eludes me now.

 

Any help appreciated

 

Thanks

Hi

 

yes the current AO beta needs a dedicated activation portal. As Jd7745 said you will find the URL in the Text file "ActivationPortal.txt" inside the ZIP file.

 

Best,

Phil

Phil,

 

Are there gonna be an upgrade path for 1.40 AO (Win 2012) users, or do you plan to sell separate, full price licences to those that already bought the AO ?

Hi Adam

 

New full licenses for current AO customers? No, there will be two upgrade paths available.

 

One for those on 1.30/1.40 and a second one for those few still on 1.26 or older.

 

If one buys AO 1.40 (meaning May 2016 or later) via our homepage, the upgrade for AO 2.00 will be free of charge.

 

Best,

Phil
