Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14390 for PC and Mobile Insider

I clean installed 14390. It took about 20 minutes. Another 10 for drivers it didn't install.

I have a Samsung PCIe x4 NVMe 256GB SSD. Booting from the POST to Screen about 5 seconds.

I'm using the UK English version. Edge tabs don't close together.


EDIT: It does now.

Well rumours are spreading that 14390 is it (and by posting this I am spreading the rumour - LOL).

Windows 10 Insider Preview build 14390 is RTM of Anniversary Update

I don't think they're right, Cereberus. Right now, it's two weeks and three days until August 2, and if memory serves, we had updates almost down to the wire with the November Release.

Besides, there are too many niggling issues to be solved for this to be "it".

My computer is having problems waking from sleep. Gonna have to fix that issue.

My bet is that next Thursday/Friday we'll get the final update and that'll be the RTM.

I'll believe it on August 3rd.

They might just wait till the last week of July to compile the last build for the RTM.

Actually I agree - I did an interesting test. I thought that if it was the RTM version, you would be able to leave the Program, and it would not let me even when pressing the link below the defer upgrade selection.

I then changed pc date to 3rd August, and suddenly it let me leave. I thought hey - this is it.

I then tried same on 14388 and it did the same, so my conclusion is MS could designate any version as the official version now, but will carry on bug fixing to as close to Aug 2nd as they can.

EDIT 1: I must have made an error - the date is not relevant. So any you can now leave on any non-watermarked version 14383 (I think) onwards - my conclusion is still the same.

EDIT 2: I believe the great goddess Dona has tweeted there are still more builds to come. My guess is last one will be Friday 29th July, and we all go live on Aug 2nd (assuming we get iso). I do not think will get the actual official release early - just a series of ever converging builds

I've never heard of anyone trying to leave the Program and being unsuccessful. That's a new one on me.

I have seen somewhere that if you leave the Insider Program you will eventually be forced to go back to the last RTM. Can't remember where I saw that, though, so I guess it has to be put down as rumor until someone says yeah, that's true and you can find it here. :)
