Now, however, those builds have made it out of the early stages and to more stable forms. Windows 10 Build 16299 is now available to the Slow Ring, and it comes with several important fixes.

At this point, Microsoft’s focus is stability, so there’s nothing exciting here. If you’re after new features, Skip Ahead should be your primary focus. That said, here are the fixes coming to users this week:
“We fixed an issue some Insiders were experiencing where after upgrading to recent flights their optical drive wouldn’t be listed under This PC. We fixed an issue where Microsoft Edge might crash when scrolling embedded PDFs. We fixed an issue resulting in some Insiders seeing 0x80070005 when trying to upgrade to the last few flights. We fixed an issue where using the Automatic File Download notification to block an app from downloading files wasn’t working for UWP apps. We fixed an issue resulting in Windows Defender potentially downloading files selected to be online-only after using the file picker dialog and viewing their thumbnails.”
For those who missed it, Insider head Dona Sarkar has also taken time to thanks Insiders for everything they do. “For the FIRST TIME EVER, the entire Windows Insider Team is at a conference to meet all of you. We are all at Ignite in Orlando this week. It’s been such an honor and a privilege to have gotten a chance to meet you all online all these years and this week it’s been simply magical to meet face-to-face. SO MANY of you have come by our booth, our round-table and our sessions to say hi and to talk to us about the program,” she wrote on Tuesday. “Thank you for everything you do—even getting on planes to come see us. We love you.”
