Differences between Windows builds

The latest build compiled by Microsoft (may become a possible insider candidate)
Current Insider:
The latest build that is a possible insider release under testing / review by Microsoft Internally (may be released for insiders or not)
Current Release:
The latest build for Current Branch that contains the latest security and bug patches (may be released to Current Branch users, but will be released for Release Preview users)
Insider Previews
Fast Ring:
Every build that Microsoft has declared stable enough for insiders to test (released to insiders 1-3 times per 2 weeks)
Slow Ring:
Builds that contains latest features that are complete and stable enough for testing. (released about every 6 weeks)
Release Preview:
Stays on current official branch but contains bug and security fixes (as of writing it is 10.0.14393.xxx)
Branch:
Current Branch:
a stable enough build that is released for everyone, but might not be stable enough for business purposes
Current Business Branch:
A build that is stable enough for long term support for businesses. Everything is tested to be working as it should.

Everybody's a bit right :)
@Fafhrd Yes something like that. You manually install it if you have issues, if not, just ignore it. At some point all the bug fixes will be force pushed to every machine online.
EDIT: Server 2016 and Workstation 10 share a lot of code, and all those things will be eventually pushed to everybody on a workstation.
These sort of patches arrive for Release Preview ring only, when the current branch gets a little bit behind regarding issues that have been fixed in the Fast and Slow ring builds, especially to test cumulative update candidates for the current branch before they go live.
Thanks for all additional info's about the builds and releases. Do you agree that when my Windows Update stays silence, I don't need to take any further actions like manually downloading patches?
Cheers
