Hands On: Windows 10 Redstone 3 Build 16273

Yesterday Microsoft pushed out Windows 10 Build 16273 to its cadre of Fast Ring testers which was the first new build in three weeks.

As I wrote yesterday, that resulted in a lot of fixes for various bugs throughout the operating system which is entering a critical phase of its development as Microsoft begins focusing on stabilizing the update for its likely release expected release in the September/October timeframe.

That also means no new features will be added over these final weeks either although we could find some tweaks to wording, labels and other various system items. Microsoft expects to push out builds at a much more rapid pace for both fast and slow ring testers during this phase.

One of the key spots for some of these changes to show up are in the extensive Windows Settings app. So I poked around in that yesterday after Build 16273 was installed and did find a few new things that look to be coming our way in the Fall Creators Update.

What have you noticed in these last couple of builds that is new in the operating system?

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.
