Windows 10 Build 14393.5 Update Now Available for the Fast Ring

The new insider build improves the reliability and performance of Edge when being used with extensions, and fixed battery drain issues, search bugs and more. The update is identified as KB3176927.

-

Last week, we speculated on whether build 14393 would be the RTM for the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. Though the build was close to perfect, we noted a few issues that were yet to be resolved.

Today pushed out a cumulative update that puts the build number at 14393.5. Though the original build's problems have been fixed via a Surface Book driver update, more issues have been discovered since.

The official Feedback Hub changelog goes into detail about some of these fixes:

“Improved reliability and performance of Microsoft Edge with AdBlock and LastPass extensions enabled. These extensions should continue to work after installing other extension updates from the Store.

We fixed an issue causing battery to drain due to runaway CPU processes while a device is idle. We also fixed a battery life issue due to the proximity sensor always running on some devices.

We fixed an issue causing Store apps to stop launching due to a licensing issue.

We have fixed an issue that results in Windows Updates being delayed on systems with Connected Standby.

We fixed an issue where the Korean IME would not have the correct composition on some custom TSF3 edit controls on PC.

We fixed an issue where you might not be able to type in text into Search or some Store apps without having to restart the process.

We have fixed an issue where keyboard input on some Windows tablet devices would not rotate to landscape normally.”

The build is available to those in the fast ring immediately, and can be can be accessed via Windows Update as KB3176927.

Build 14393.3

Earlier this week, Microsoft pushed out update 14393.3, which also fixed some problems:

“We have fixed an issue where keyboard input on some Windows tablet devices would not rotate to landscape normally.We have fixed an issue that results in Windows Updates being delayed on systems with Connected Standby.

We have fixed a problem with text input with Korean Input Method Editor (IME) in some Store apps.

We fixed an issue causing Store apps to stop launching due to a licensing issue.

We have fixed an issue with apps that synchronize using DDE for inter-process communication.”

As we draw ever closer to the August 2nd release, Microsoft will only be rolling out incremental updates rather than full builds. Some of the Windows 10 Mobile issues still exist, so we could see changes there within the next few days.
