Microsoft Releases Windows 10 Build 14905 for PCs and Mobile Devices

It has been a busy couple of weeks for Microsoft and specifically the Windows team.

Back on 02 August they released the Windows 10 Anniversary Update for PCs, Build 14393.67, after eight months of development and the release of 26 builds for testers.

Then on the 11th of August the first build of Redstone 2 for PCs, 14901, was pushed out to Fast Ring testers in the Windows Insider Program to begin the development of the next major release of Windows 10 on the PC/tablet side.

That was followed this week with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update for mobile devices and the release of build 14393.67 for those with eligible handsets.

Then, less than 24 hours later, the team released the first Redstone 2 build for mobile devices to begin that development cycle which will lead up to that next major release for Windows 10 which is expected sometime in early 2017.

Build 14905 was also made available for PCs today.

Now that the first builds for Redstone 2 are out and being tested we have cranked up our new Redstone 2 Build Trackers.  There is one for PC builds and another for the mobile releases and you can use them to stay abreast of what is happening in each build plus we track how many days are elapsing between build releases.

Redstone 1, aka the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, saw a total of 50 unique builds released for PCs and mobile devices over an eight month period.

Any thoughts about how many we might see for Redstone 2?

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.
