Windows 10 Insider cumulative update released to Fast Ring before tomorrow’s Anniversary Update, brings us to 14393.10

[tomm]

 

It looks like there’s a final Windows 10 build rolling out that we imagine will become tomorrow’s Anniversary Update (or perhaps an update that will roll out to non-Insiders soon after the Anniversary Update goes live). It’s Insider Preview build 14393.10, and it’s rolling out right now to the Fast Ring via Cumulative Update KB3176929.

 

Windows Insider chief Dona Sarkar let us know if the update via her Twitter account, as usual:

#WindowsInsiders: we have now released cummulative update 14393.10 to the Fast Ring via Windows Update

8:18 AM - 2 Aug 2016 · Seattle, WA, United States

 

 

We don’t have any details yet on what the update provides, other than our best guess that it’s some final polish before the Anniversary Update starts releasing to all Windows 10 users tomorrow. Let us know in the comments if you notice anything special in this last build before the penultimate update so far starts heading to the masses.

Im not a insider ether,  I'm  just using the sign off version build, this time it was on auto updates already downloaded and ready to install via local account, i didn't need to install .cab update via powershell

 

So in windows 10 version  1607 the auto update gate is open to the public

The best thing about the AU will be the end of the guessing games for which version it will be.

 

That said, my Windows Update service is disabled and will stay that way until *I* am convinced the AU won't break something.

It'll break drivers some day for sure. That is the only thing MS should not push forcibly on user's PCs. Updates for Windows and Office is okay. I also keep AU off and manually install it via cab or msu.

Keeps me safe and never had driver issues.

[steven36]

I dont really  care,  that's what back ups are for  in case something goes wrong.. Windows updates for Windows 10 are cumulative . You take one you took them all and it dont matter if you use autoupdates are do them via powershell..  if its going to break something it will ,,It makes no difference how you do them.  I been doing Windows updates for many years with little or no regression ...Every patch Tuesday like clockwork. Microsoft can put what ever they want in there updates there telemetry and bing want get by my firewall  I block everything but windows updates in windows 10 .

@steven36 As I said, Windows and Office updates are okay. I take them manually. The main reason to keep automatic updates off is the forcing of driver updates by MS. I like to update my drivers directly from the manufacturer's site not by MS. MS drivers break some things like my graphics and touchpad.

you can turn driver  updates off  they give you choice on this i dont have them on ether because i like too use the latest drivers .And in some machines it can cause regression . I can turn all updates off via my firewall  but i would only do that if i ran into regression i would uninstall the update and wait .

@steven36

Yeah, I know but it doesn't work for me. I've tried, it still shows those updates so I've manually hidden them and disabled AU so in future if those updates of drivers have newer versions they don't slip in, LOL.

The policy in this tutorial will only work starting with build 14328, or with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update on Aug. 2nd.

After this update installed, windows old folder is gone. So the released cummulative update 14393.10 to the Fast Ring via Windows Update was only a fix for cleaning up after all insider updates even this folder $WINDOWS.~BT folder is gone.

A rather silly way to go about things. Back up. Upgrade. Try it. If need be revert. But I'd put money on it nothing "breaks", you're just being a nana.
The way you rationalize it makes it sound like the millions of users in the slow and fast rings don't even exist..

Not silly for me mate... decades in commercial IT environments taught me to treat every software update with caution. The continued working of my PC is infinitely more important than having the latest and greatest. Some may be happy being Microsoft guinea pigs, but I'm not.

How many past Windows 10 "bullet proof, heavily rings tested, perfect" updates weren't? And this Anniversary Update isn't just a pissy little update, it's the Mother of All Updates.

I treat big updates with some degree of caution too, haven't had an issue yet.

A few, I do pay attention to these things. Looks like there are a few issues, the freezing seems of some concern but hey, I've already updated one PC without any issues.. so what the hey.. I got all three of mine on the go right now.
Zombies? Nah. Just eager for the best and this update is pretty spiffy.

Two machines done and the last one is finishing up. no issues cept for inability to pin to taskbar at first after removing an icon that wasn't displaying quite right  but could pin after reboot? with using Start++ 

Really liking the UI improvements. Looks like after removing the old install most setups with gain half a gig or so of space. The OS itself doesn't benchmark any quicker unfortunately.. guess if there's kernel speed improvements they'll come in the next update.. (I hope)
