Today, however, Microsoft released Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16179.


This one offered just a single minor functional change-the Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta) can now access Windows COM ports-but was otherwise also about under-the-hood changes. Last Friday, Microsoft delivered build 16176. It didn’t offer any noticeable changes or new features, but instead focused on OneCore refinements and some code refactoring and other engineering work.

The “Redstone 3” train has left the station, and it’s picking up speed: For the third time in less than two weeks, Microsoft has released an Insider Preview build for “Redstone 3,” the next major version of Windows 10.Īs you may recall, Microsoft issued 16170 on April 7.
