As part of Patch Tuesday, Microsoft generally releases builds for its older versions of Windows 10. But as a surprise Microsoft today released a new Windows 10 Insider Build 17738 for Fast Ring insiders along with builds for its older versions.
Since Redstone 5 is now in the final leg of development and is expected to be released to all Windows 10 users in couple of months time, Microsoft has not introduced any new features in the latest insider build but has made sure to push out fixes and improvements.
Below is the full changelog of what’s fixed and broken in Windows 10 build 17738.
