Microsoft Hustles Ahead of Next Windows 10 Release – Third Preview Build Out This Week

Rafia Shaikh
Windows 10 Creators Update

Microsoft is rolling out third Windows 10 Creators Update Preview build to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring this week. Calm down, Redmond? Nope, it can't. The company is expected to release the upcoming major upgrade to Windows 10 users on April 11. And since we are less than a month away from that release date, Microsoft should be preparing the RTM build before it could start rolling out Windows 10 Creators Update to the public.

Since this is the third build this week, even the list of bug fixes is shorter than what we are used to. Remember those beautiful days that brought us massive feature experiments? Well, no more. Hopefully, we will get to experience many of those features without any "known issues" once the version is out for the public. Here's the complete changelog:

  • Some apps and games may crash due to a misconfiguration of advertising ID that happened in a prior build. Specifically, this issue affects new user accounts that were created on Build 15031.

The ACL on the registry key incorrectly denies access to the user and you can delete the following registry key to get out of this state: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AdvertisingInfo
  • There is a bug where if you need to restart your PC due to a pending update like with the latest Surface firmware updates, the restart reminder dialog doesn’t pop up. You should check Settings > Update & security > Windows Update to see if a restart is required.
