Windows 10 build 16353

Hello Windows Insiders!

Today we are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16353 for PC to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring who have opted in to Skip Ahead only. As we mentioned in last week, Insiders who joined Skip Ahead will continue to receive builds from the RS_PRERELEASE branch which has transitioned to RS4 which is the release that will come after the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (RS3). Insiders will notice that the build numbers have jumped ahead to 1635x. Previously, we jumped ahead with build numbers at the beginning of development for RS3. Because we are just beginning development for RS4, Insiders shouldn’t expect to see a lot of big changes or new features just yet. Our focus remains getting the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update ready for release!

More on Skip Ahead

We have had some Insiders ask us some questions about Skip Ahead and to clarify what it is. Back in July, we announced Windows Insiders in the Fast ring could opt-in and “skip ahead” to builds that would be part of the next feature update for Windows 10. There was a limit on how many Insiders in the Fast ring we would allow to skip ahead and that limit had been reached several weeks ago. Insiders can no longer opt-in their PCs to Skip Ahead.

Up until last week, we had been releasing identical builds to Insiders who didn’t opt in to Skip Ahead and to those who did. As of today, the builds are no longer the same as mentioned above.

The following graphic breaks down the essentials of Skip Ahead:

To summarize:

• If you DIDN’T opt in to Skip Ahead, you’re receiving the latest builds of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (RS3). You will eventually start receiving builds for the next feature update of Windows 10 (RS4) once we release the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
• If you DID opt in to Skip Ahead, you’re receiving early builds for the next feature update of Windows 10 (RS4).

We recognize this might seem a bit confusing to some Insiders but with Skip Ahead, we are able to test our ability to release builds from two different branches at the same time. Once the Windows 10 Fall Creators, Skip Ahead goes away and everyone in the Fast ring will be on RS4 builds.

General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC

• When the Action Center is black (the default option) the “clear all”, “expand”/”collapse”, and “see more” link text will now all use your accent color – making them pop more and improving discoverability.
• We’ve updated the Action Center to now support a two finger touch gesture to dismiss all notifications. Place two fingers vertically within the Action Center near the edge opposite to the side of your screen. Then slide these fingers towards the side of the screen. You will notice all notification groups following your fingers and then dismissing as you slide your fingers off the side of the screen.
• We fixed an issue in XAML resulting in text animations appearing slightly blurry in the last flight until the animation had stopped (for example, when loading the main page of Settings).
• We fixed an issue resulting in the taskbar being unexpectedly thick if you booted up the PC while plugged in to an external monitor with a different DPI.
• We fixed an issue that caused minimized per-monitor DPI aware windows to miss DPI changes and end up with a mix of DPI scaling upon restoring.
• We fixed an issue from recent flights where when Slideshow was enabled resuming from sleep a second time might place the Lock screen in a state where it couldn’t be dismissed without pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del.
• We fixed an issue resulting in an unexpected change in mouse sensitivity in the last flight for PCs using non-default display scaling.
• We fixed an issue resulting in Asphalt 8 not accepting input in recent flights.
• We fixed an issue resulting in progress wheels on certain websites in Microsoft Edge unexpectedly moving out of place during their rotation.
• We fixed an issue where the Windows Hello strings would appear on top of the page when performing a pin reset from the login screen.

Microsoft is now rolling out Windows 10 16353 for PCs enrolled in the Fast ring using the Skip Ahead option in the Windows Insider Program. You’ll notice that the build number has jumped ahead to 163xx, and this is because this test version of Windows 10 is available through the RS_PRERELEASE branch, and it’s part of the Redstone 4 update that comes after the Fall Creators Update.

If you didn’t change your settings to start testing the Redstone 4 update before the Fall Creators Update is release, then you’ll not be getting this build. However, once the upcoming fall update becomes available, anyone who is part of the Windows Insider Program will be able to download builds for the Redstone 4 update coming in 2018 as usual.

On Windows 10 build 16353, according to Microsoft, doesn’t include new features or big improvements, instead it only includes a handful of fixes and small changes.

What’s new on Windows 10 build 16353

Some of these new changes and fixes include:

• Action Center using dark option the “clear all”, “expand”/”collapse”, and “see more” link text will now all use your accent color.
• Action Center to now support a two-finger touch gesture to dismiss all notifications. (Place two fingers vertically within the Action Center near the edge opposite to the side of your screen. Then slide these fingers towards the side of the screen.)
• Fixed an issue in XAML resulting in text animations appearing slightly blurry.
• Addressed problem that caused minimized per-monitor DPI aware windows to miss DPI changes and end up with a mix of DPI scaling upon restoring.
• Fixed an issue resulting in progress wheels on certain websites in Microsoft Edge unexpectedly moving out of place during their rotation.
• Addressed problem resulting in the taskbar being unexpectedly thick if you booted up the PC while plugged in to an external monitor with a different DPI.
• Fixed an issue where when Slideshow was enabled resuming from sleep a second time might place the Lock screen in a state where it couldn’t be dismissed without pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del.

Microsoft releases a new Redstone 4 build to Insiders in the Fast ring. «Redstone 4»  is the next feature update for Windows 10 after Fall Creators Update.  Insiders who joined Skip Ahead are getting Windows 10 Build 16353.

Development of Redstone 3 is nearly at an end, so for Insiders who want to remain on the cutting edge of developer builds, new builds from the Redstone 3 branch are literally boring. A new Skip Ahead option gives them a chance to ‘skip ahead’ and go directly to the future Redstone 4 branch right now. See how to enable the Skip Ahead option.

The following image shows how Skip Ahead works.
