Finally after a long wait, Microsoft has started rolling out the expected RTM version of Windows 10 Mobile with build no 10586(.11), to insiders,  which matches with the Windows 10 PC version that was rolled out last week.

Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL have already started getting delivered to customers in US, and they are coming with the same update pre-installed.That said, We have been covering a lot about Windows 10 Mobile, and if you want to check all of them in one place, check out this link.

Here are some things that are fixed:

  • Fixed the issue that caused the Start experience to become corrupted (garbled) after upgrading and restoring a backup from a phone that had a different resolution.
  • You can now  set your default save locations via Settings > System > Storage and it will correctly reflect the current storage settings. Your SD card should no longer show up as a garbled name in Storage settings either.
  • Moving apps to a SD card should no longer cause those apps to crash.
  • Improvements to the Messaging + Skype app – through both app updates via the Store and also on the server side.
  • This should be seeing less resuming/loading text when switching apps.
  • The physical camera button should be working again if it wasn’t working for you before.
  • Apps and games should download from the Store more reliably.

Known issues:

  • After we released Build 10581 to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring, another bug was idscovered that will cause the filesystem to become partially corrupted after doing a factory reset. For those of you who did a factory reset of your phone, you most likely did not notice this issue on Build 10581. Due to this bug however, upgrading to Build 10586 will cause your phone to go into a reboot loop after the upgrade completes – rebooting at the Windows or operator logo. To recover your phone, you can use the hardware key combination to reset your phone which will then put it at the OOBE experience on Build 10586. We highly recommend that you make sure you do a backup your phone *before* upgrading to Build 10586 due to this bug. Additionally, you can also recover your phone by using the Windows Device Recovery Tool to go back to Windows Phone 8.1 and then upgrade to Build 10586.
  • Deploying Silverlight apps through Visual Studio to your phone still won’t work in this build. This issue will be fixed with the release of Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 on Nov. 30th. You can deploy UWP apps to your phone without any issues.
  • There is a known issue where the tile for Insider Hub still remains under All apps but doesn’t open. Insider Hub isn’t included in this build. There isn’t a way to get it back unfortunately. However, it’ll return in a future flight! In the meantime, use Insider Hub on the PC as a workaround.

Those who have never tried out the Windows 10 Mobile yet, this is a major upgrade from Windows Phone 8.1 and things have fundamentally changed from being in-built into the system to stand alone apps which work together.  Microsoft will be rolling out the upgrade in phases, so make sue to check the software upgrade page for your phone’s status.
