Windows Insider stuck at build 10162

Windows Insider won't updated

So my 10162 insider windows edition is now expired, keeps restarting, telling me it will stop working and yet Windows Update says there is no updates.

Search on the Internet found many with similar issues but none of the solutions worked, however the below did the trick for me

  • Download the Windows 10 ISO Installation
  • Mount the file by right clicking
  • Enter one of the following Product Keys - Windows 10 build 10240 keys:
    • Windows 10 Home build 10240 - TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99
    • Windows 10 Pro build 10240 - VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T
    • Windows 10 Enterprise build 10240 - NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
  • When the installation finishes ensure you are still part of the insider builds

If this has helped you drop me a comment or follow me on twitter @danielsokolows.

Softeher 'Error occurred. (Error code: 2)' sollution

Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from the destination server. The Softether server by default to run on port 443 , if you server also hosts normal https then 443 is already taken and so Softether can't bind to it. When you run `vpncmd` it attempts to connect, find an active port, but of course fails with 'Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from the destination server.' because it's not actually connecting to the vpn server. By default Softether also listens on 992 , 1194 , and 5555 so the sollution is to modify specify `localhost:5555` when executing the `vpncmnd`. If this has helped you feel free to comment or follow me on twitter @danielsokolows .
