Microsoft develops future updates for Windows 10 across three development channels (Dev, Beta, and Release Preview). 

This build tracker will provide enterprise and business customers a chronological reference list of all pre-release advanced quality cumulative updates in the Release Preview Channel for Windows 10.

According to Microsoft, the key considerations for Release Preview Channel builds are:

  • For users who want stability and release validation for hardware and software compatibility.

  • Provides access to advanced quality updates (cumulative updates) for Windows 10.

  • Builds are the most stable in development and are fully supported by Microsoft.

About the Author(s)

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
