18, compared to build 10240, the “RTM” build released on July 29: Here's what's coming down the pike for Windows 10, based on beta build 10547, released Sept. If you have a Windows 7 or 8.1 system, and it’s trying to put Windows 10 on your machine - in some cases, it may take control of Windows Update - there’s a way to remove the problems, using GWX Control Panel. Rolling back to a previous version of Windows - an option for 30 days - usually goes well, but for some, all sorts of odd problems appear. We'll update it as Microsoft fleshes out more of Windows 10.īuild 10240 isn’t as stable as I would hope, the built-in apps are woefully underpowered, and upgrading can be a monumental pain, especially if you don’t follow Microsoft’s largely unwritten rules about transferring licenses. If you don't have the time - or the interest - to keep up with the details, this report will keep you posted on how things stand. Here’s an overview of Windows 10 as it sits right now, incorporating what we found in build 10240, what’s been updated since then, what we’ve seen in the beta builds, and the confusion that still surrounds so many problems, including update licensing, snooping, and forced updates.

(Remember, this is the team that gave us Windows 8.1 Update 1 - not Service Pack 1.) That said, the TH2 November update sure sounds to me like a Service Pack 1, and the next planned round of releases, code-named Redstone 2016, compares to a point-level bump.

We've been assured that Windows 10 updates will roll out continuously, and there will no longer be any Service Packs or new point-level releases.
