Fast, Slow & Release Preview Rings for Windows 10 Current Branch Get Build 14393.67

Just a few hours ago Microsoft released the first public cumulative update for the Windows 10 Anniversary Update which bumped it from Build 14393.10 to 14393.51.

Now the Redmond company is giving its army of Windows Insiders an opportunity to do a little testing on another cumulative update if they are in the Fast, Slow or Release Preview Ring.

Cumulative Update (KB3176931) can be downloaded from Windows Update on those testing systems that are members of the Windows Insider Program and enrolled in any of the rings.

According to Microsoft it delivers the following two fixes:

  • Addressed issue that causes significantly reduced battery life on Windows Phone when using Bluetooth with “Hey Cortana” feature enabled.

  • Addressed issue that prevents users from completing the out-of-box experience (OOBE) with a local account using Korean characters.

Certainly does not seem like very much at all but Insiders will be able to install this and provide telemetry to Microsoft to evaluate the effectiveness of the two fixes.

Microsoft must also feel pretty good about the quality of this cumulative update because they released it to all of their testers at the same time.

If testing of this update goes well I suspect Microsoft may release it well before next month's Patch Tuesday on 13 September 2016.

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.
