A better performing build

Windows 10 Mobile

Just a little less than two weeks ago, Microsoft ended the work week by making Windows 10 Mobile Build 10166 available to Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview members signed up for Fast ring access. Now it's available to Slow ring subscribers, too.

Microsoft's Gabe Aul made the announcement on Twitter. Microsoft also updated its blog post from July 10 announcing the availability to Fast ring users.

If you're unfamiliar with what Fast ring and Slow ring means, those on the Fast ring receive new test builds at a faster clip than Slow ring users. While generally stable, releases to the Fast ring might not be as polished or stable, and could be missing certain features. Once they've been tested a little more extensively, they roll out to Slow ring users.

With Build 10166, Microsoft "lots of small changes and feature tweaks." As for changes that were implemented since being released to Fast ring users, the Store in Windows 10 Mobile no longer carries a beta tag.

One of the more annoying bugs that was fixed in Build 10166 is one that affected the lock screen. Some users were having trouble accessing their phones for several minutes after an initial boot, and Build 10166 addresses that issue.

There's still no official release date for Windows 10 Mobile. Once Microsoft launches Windows 10 for desktop users, it will focus on bigger updates to Windows 10 Mobile, allowing for more significant changes and tweaks when new builds roll out.
