Microsoft made available Windows 10 build 10130 for the first time in May 29th, but Windows Insiders were only able to download the new preview through the Fast ring of updates. Later on, because of an error many users were left out of the upgrade; to temporary resolve the issue, the company released the ISO files even though the build wasn’t available through the Slow ring. Today, June 12, Microsoft has announced that build 10130 is finally ready for the Slow ring.
The announcement was made by Gabriel Aul, head of the Windows Insider program, and he noted that Windows 10 build 10130 “has proven to be stable enough to publish the build for Insiders in the Slow ring”. The company also says that various top issues have been fixed in this new release, including:
Issue that prevented icons on the taskbar (Start, Cortana, Network, Battery, and Action Center) to open the fly-out menu (KB3070365).
There is also a fix for an issue that caused audio playback to stop working in some hardware configurations. Microsoft also notes that some sound cards may fail to open in multichannel mode. The workaround is to set the default audio to stereo (KB3069069).
Microsoft also fixed a problem where Insiders could get new builds detected by Windows Update in the Core edition of Windows 10 (KB3070677).
Dynamic update that could result in the loss of audio when the upgrade is completed has also been fixed (KB3070987).
The new build will download and install automatically for Windows Insiders. Those in the Fast ring of updates will simply need to check for new updates and the new updates will take the build to the to the same code level as the one in the Slow ring.
Microsoft warns that if users hit an error code of 0x802246017 trying to install this build using Windows Update, then you’ll have to download the ISO files to perform the upgrade.
