Did you purchase a pre-assembled Pi? If not, 'running in minutes' might have been a bit of an over statement :D The OP said his system doesn't boot since the Windows fall 2018 update - I assume he's referencing Windows 10. This doesn't mean the hardware is bad. Why not just reuse it? A thumbs up for Vortexbox, which is another USB bootable solution to try, albeit not Squeeze ecosystem specific. My personal preference is always to keep it simple. *Player: *1 x Transporter w/Trans-knob, 2 x Touch (Active, 3 x Spares), 4 x Boom (Active, 9 x Spares) *Server: *1 x Win Server (ESXi 6.x) w/LMS, 1 x HP 24" Touch Screen PC w/LMS & SqueezePlay *Control: *4 x w/iPeng, 1 x Samsung Note 4, 3ea x Fire 7", 8 tablets, 1 x 10" all w/SqueezeCtrl & Player (Angry Goat) *Audio: *Mark Levinson 23.5 Amp, 380s Pre, 390s CD, B&W 801 II, Acoustic Energy AE-2 signature, SOTA Sapphire table Computer geek/tech hoarder(!), and DAMN I love the LMS/Squeeze infrastructure! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ markm9999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65015 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109816
