Hello Windows Insiders! Today we are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16296 for PC to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring only (not Skip Ahead). IMPORTANT NOTE: You will be unable to install *new*/additional language packs on this build. Pre-existing language packs (language packs you’ve installed previously) will carry over and work just fine. As we mentioned previously, we are now at the point of the development cycle for the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update where our focus is now on stabilization for release to the world. This means that we are releasing new builds to Insiders more quickly and that these builds will include mostly bug fixes. You’ll notice that this build continues to include a bunch of good bug fixes Insiders will enjoy. General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC We fixed an issue where Hyper-V couldn’t create a VM on 3rd party network storage. We fixed an issue where for the first few minutes after clean installing a non-English build many inbox app names might unexpectedly appear with English app names. We fixed an issue where gaming apps using WebView with heavy use of HTML canvas might have unexpectedly had very low FPS in recent flights. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsex...r-preview-build-16296-pc/#H1zBQo2mLrGzhDDc.97
Watermark and visible expiration date this time, this one is not RTM either it seems. Gonna have to be next week then. (Expires February 7th 2018 if I read correctly.)
iirc that usually means they found a showstopper in the last build without the watermark etc, and had to move to another branch
I wish they would release a new iso too. It's at 16278 on their site :-/ I hope my RS2 issues with start/shellexperiencehost are fixed.
I don't know what the hell is going on, but this build was fine for like a day, now all of a sudden its sluggish as hell. Internet, general performance, everything is awful. Choppy and slow. Its a fresh install. Only odd thing I've noticed is Defender constantly trying and failing to install a certain update. KB2267602. But I have no idea if its related. Nothing in the task manager is popping out as a possible offender either. Its since corrected itself...still don't know what the heck that was though.
