Windows 10 Anniversary Update for Mobile Devices Now Available

Just two weeks after releasing the PC version of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update Microsoft has now made the second major update for the year old operating system available to eligible mobile devices running Windows 10 Mobile Build 10586.545.

The final build for mobile devices is 14393.67 and any Windows Insiders on Fast, Slow or Release Preview Rings should already have this build as the .67 cumulative update was released to those testers on 09 August 2016.

That means the final build has been in the hands of avid Windows 10 Mobile testers for the past week.

You can check for the update by going to Settings>Update & security>Phone update>Check for updates to start your handset looking for the update. Remember, as with all roll outs by Microsoft, this is a staged push so the update may not be immediately available on your hardware.

Of course, your manufacturer, phone model, country, region, carrier, hardware limitations (i.e. an eligible handset) could impact your updates availability.

I have checked two different handsets that are tied to AT&T and as of this posting, 5 PM Eastern in the US, I have not seen the update.

Have you already received the update for your device?

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.
