Hey M$...Release the gigabytes please !
:)
For those who don't know, Microsoft has been distributing a number of their Windows 10 builds via the "fbl_impressive" development branch, a branch created solely for Insiders and allows Microsoft to control what features are sent to the public for testing. There are many development branches which all focus on different things, however none of them are accessible by Windows Insiders.
Microsoft announced yesterday that they were suspending Windows Update and Windows 10 Insider builds as they prepare for the Windows 10 RTM. The next build offered to Windows Insiders will be using production servers, which means the next build we receive could very well be the Windows 10 RTM, or at the very least an RTM candidate, depending on when Microsoft plans to push another build out.
Microsoft has silently switched all Windows Insiders away from the fbl_impressive branch, and moved them over to the TH1 branch. The TH1 branch is where Microsoft is compiling RTM candidates, which means the next build delivered to Insiders can be nothing but an RTM candidate or the RTM itself. You can check to see if Microsoft has moved you over to TH1 by opening Regedit and navigating to HKLM>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>WindowsSelfHost>Applicability and double clicking "BranchName". If you see "TH1" you are ready for the next build.

All set here as well. Getting very close to the time for Gabe to push the button again. :)
I'm not computer savvy. I can't figure out how to navigate to that file to find out the branch of my build.
Rocky, if you choose to follow me into the Registry, I must caution you . . . do not change anything there!
OK, right click on Start and select "Run". Type "regedit" without the quotes in the box that appears. This will take you to the Windows Registry.
HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, so click on that. Now, just follow down the list to
SOFTWARE>Microsoft>WindowsSelfHost>Applicability and click on the down arrow as you come to each one. When you finally arrive at Applicability and click that you will see "BranchName" along with a bunch of other things. So now, double click BranchName and If you see "TH1" you are ready for the next build.
Hope this is plain enough for you.
