Windows 10 Build 14295 for PC and Mobile Available for Fast Ring Insiders

For the second time in nine days, Microsoft has released a double whammy to its Windows Insiders and no, I am not talking about leaving some handsets out of the pool for the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade.

Today, by releasing Windows 10 Build 14295 to its cadre of Windows Insiders for testing, Microsoft has shipped the same build for both PCs and Mobile at the same time on two consecutive ship days as it was just nine days ago that Build 14291 was available for testers on both platforms.

Interestingly, if you go back two more cycles of releases for Windows Insiders you will find that Microsoft has shipped PC and Mobile builds on the same day but different platform builds for each.

On 04 March 2016, Microsoft shipped 14283 for Mobile and 14279 for PCs and then on 24 February it was 14271 for PCs and 14267.1004 for Mobile

So technically, that is four ship dates in a row that Windows 10 builds have been released for both PCs and Mobile devices by Microsoft on the same day. One last observation - they missed doing the same thing with PC and Mobile Build 14267 on 18/19 February - just one day between those releases.

Thanks to our new PC and Mobile Windows 10 Insider Preview trackers we can easily keep on eye on trends like this which is kind of fun for a geek like me.

Anyway, check out the trackers for the highlights but bottom line is that there are no new features since this build is just a few steps away from the last one but there are quite a few fixes on each platform.

You can also expect to find the normal Fast Ring related bugs to be dealt with as well.

So with the release of this build on a Friday, which is no longer much of a unicorn since it has become quite the norm by the way, the big question is what about during BUILD 2016 next week?

Will we get a new build for Windows 10 as the conference begins or is 14295 the build to carry us through next week and all the announcements that are expected? I guess only time will tell but I am going to take my Windows 10 test device just in case.

Let us know if you run into any issues with this new build.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

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.
