Windows 10 Mobile receives its first cumulative update to fix a number of bugs and other issues with the operating system. As we’re still waiting for Microsoft to officially release Windows 10 Mobile, the company dropped the first cumulative update for the mobile operating system.
However, unlike the desktop version, instead of describing the update as another Knowledge Base (KB), the software giant notes that the Windows 10 Mobile build number will now appear as 10586.29.
The company explains that users will only see a minor version difference because it’s only a cumulative update that contain fixes for the current build available for Insiders in the Fast and Slow ring.

- LG Lancet

- Microsoft Lumia 950
- Microsoft Lumia 950 XL
Windows Devices Recovery Tool gets updated as well to resolve detection issues on the new devices.
