Microsoft is not wasting time launching yet another build of Windows 10 on the PC to Windows Insiders on the Fast Ring. The company is now rolling out build 10162 to those members, which is the third build released on the Fast Ring in four days.
Microsoft Insider lead Gabriel Aul states:
"We just released Build 10159 with our new wallpaper and logon UI on Tuesday, but this is a holiday weekend in the US and we thought that some of you might want to get an even fresher build on your PCs to play with over the long weekend. Build 10162 is another great one. In fact, our testing and internal telemetry metrics show it has better reliability, performance, battery life, and compatibility than any Windows 10 Insider Preview build so far."
Aul adds that build 10162 is looking like it will be released to Slow ring members sometime next week, along with ISO files as well. Microsoft is set to launch Windows 10 starting on July 29 for Windows Insider members first, and will then expand that launch to other people who have reserved their Windows 7 and 8.1 PCs to get the free update.

Microsoft surprises us again with Windows 10 PC build 10162 release to Fast ring members
Pages
So when is Microsoft going to kill off the Control Panel?
Does anyone know how big the download is when you update using Windows Update? (Currently on 10159 with a limited data plan so..)
Nope doing it again, FPS is locked in my game again. Dont understand why it keeps doing this. If i logout or reboot my computer it seems to drop the FPS again to 60fps so it looks like its locking it somehow.
Pc builds are getting great and satisfactory, mobile builds are still buggy. I use latest 10149 build with my 1520 and it crashed few times and restarted while speaking on a phone, lumia camera didn't want to record video and was crashing constantly, tiles at start misteriously dissapear, I'm still unable to open pdf from mail, edge doesn't find the file even when I save it to documents.... A lot of work ahead on mobile front..
I really like Windows 10, and Microsoft in general, but I wonder if they are going to remove the keylogger from the RTM build that is installed in the preview builds. Would be nice if they confirm that.
I'm stuck on 10130 ( upgraded from genuine 8.1 pro ).
No previews in WU, all regular updates installed.
I believe I've tried everything i can find.
32 bit?
When through the upgrade (everything in user mode, no blue circle in system mode), but after restarting it sits on version 10159, with a message informing a problem in the upgrade, not providing any further info nor logs... :-/
Went through (typo, sorry)
It's awesome can't wait to see if i can install this on my device.
Gona give insider 1 more chance on next build but if sound issue still persists ill probably just wait till sometime next year when windows 10 gets sp 2, caus elets face it this really shouldnt be a issue 3 weeks before release, not when its never been a issue in the past.
There will not be service packs. Just updates as needed.
yippee i installed it for the 3rd time ive installed 3 different os then back to 8.1 after a format, thats dedication for you. Unfortunatly for me even though wee get closer to realese date the newer builds get worst for me. I have no sound whatso ever on 10158, 10159 and now 10162. But to add to that even xbmc or kodi as its known now doesnt even play the videos unless 1 frame a sec is good for you that is. I can understand kodi not working just yet, that could be a simple update that kodi might have to do but for a modern gigagyte motherboard to clearly show my drivers installed yet fail with later versions of 10 is just reminisant of all those teething problems oses have untill service pack 2. For me its a rollback now to windows 10 130 but i just hope it doesnt do the same messed up app problem like the other 2 times and then i have to spend another 2 hours formating and restoring everything.
Im just really sureprised i havent seen anyone else with sound and kodi issues, id have though it would be more prevelent. I only hope when we do upgrade to 10 properly on launch day edition that they will lett me go back to windows 8.1 if the soujnd is still a fail as i wont wana use a computer without sound. Fast build are great microsoft but disapointing results for me personally. Funny as 1030 there was very few a issues and no major ones for me. :(((
Can anyone remove sparten or endge off the tskbar cause none of the editions i used will let me?
Does it take long after first installing Windows 10 to start receiving fast ring updates? It cant find any update here even after changing to fast ring.
What build are you on?
Usually it's right away.
99%! almost done!!!
Upgraded but everytime i open Edge... Windows Dwfwnder page is opening... Dunno why... I have scanned my pc.. Set my home page to Start . But still getting that..anyone?
Don't have that issue. I'm running it on a mbp.
i definatly prefer the squares to the circles and dont like the live tiled look either of the peopel app(though love the inside). Maybe this is a apertunaty to add more customisation by leting people chose square or circle look. Now that would be awsome.
People app crashes..
People app crashes and I've never been able to get mail or calendar to work either. And those work on the phone's preview.
cant wait and wow builds coming thick and fast gj microsoft, i just hope my motherboard sound realtec drivers work this time round cause the 158-159 builds looked great but im on 130 at mo so heres hoping.
This build seems ton smoother than 10159. still poking around here.. its indeed very snappy. Even more polish to the UI. sweet!
I think windows team are really motivated to build faster than ever because of us the Insiders
If you are on WiFi try hooking into Ethernet, that worked for me.
Kind of hard to do with a low end tablet with no NIC.
My windows update says fbl_impressive Core 10162 downloading and from a half hour it still on 0% what should i do ?
Someone helped me with this but delete your windows update cache (bing how to do that) and then restart the windows update service.
Whoa... I just updated to 10159 a couple of hours ago...
Hopefully ill be able to get it, short story - reset pc to 8.1 will let me put 10130 on then not any more even with pc being set to fast build
Welcome to the club. Not sure why they're still offering that POS. Was your install a 32 bit version?
I installed 10158, 10159 and 10162 over the last few days. I had a problem with games which started with 10159 I was able to correct it however the same fix did not work for 10162.
World of Warcraft using fraps at the character menu I'm only getting 100-120fps and in game 60fps. When its working fine I get over 400fps in the character menu and 100-120fps in game. Tried 2 different drivers 352.84 and 353.30. All builds are updates.
I also have this problem. I think it's a vsync issue, locking frames to 60 fpa even when not enabled.
Yeah thats what I was thinking also.
I have tried a fresh reinstall and i get the same issue. Tried different drivers also. Back on 10159 now and get 700fps in the character menu again.
Just an update it happened again with 10159, I was lucky I had an image from when it was working so i just reimaged it. I can not see whats different that is causing it. Reinstalling the drivers didnt fix it this time.
I'm sticking with 10158. I don't have too many options. WU won't do it because 8.1 was a Home version. I even installed 10158 Pro over the 10130 Home version, and it still wouldn't update.
This prove that "without a deadline, we can't work" :D
Microsoft needs to restore the OneDrive app, same as the Windows 8.1 ! with offline / online files , it's crucial !
I definitely agree about the OneDrive needs to be restored
2 out of 3 aint bad. Envy 14 updated no problem, DV6748 updated no problem, gaming rig with PCIE SSD and R9 285 refuses to download. WTF?
So, this is what finally worked ignoring all the things that could have happened on the back end. ran network troubleshooter, made sure my network was set to private and joined my homegroup. None of the other "change to slow and then back to fast ring" with a check for updates and reboot in between worked. Now I'm 3 for 3 but still not installing on any of our 3 SP3's ... yet.
Damn... that build is good :)
At this point I think I'm perfectly happy having tried the TP's and hanging back till July 29 for the final release.
At this point after using it on a tablet, Im content to go back to 8.1 and wait till Christmas when they have it figured out...
Mine was stuck on 0% today for awhile until I plugged my Surface Pro 3 into Ethernet., started downloading right away after.
Update from 10159 stuck on 0% of downloading for 2 hours now
Do we know what's different in 10162 yet?
Posted via the Windows Phone Central App for Android
Sweet... I still can't even get 10158, let alone 10159, but the increased release pace is a good sign that July 29 is looking good :)
Can't get my HP Stream get past 130. Just tells me it is up to date. Gonna try by reinstalling via iso. Maybe that way it arrives at today...
I suspect if you're running 10130 on a tablet, you're running the Home edition. I was told that none of the newer builds were released in Home 32 bit.
Im on 10158 pro on a venue and stuck there..
That of course would explain it. It does run the home edition. Well, I'll have to wait. Build 130 is pretty much unusable.
I couldn't update from 10130, so I manually installed 10158. Why did I have to go from 8.1 to an old ass 10130? I just did it yesterday. Why didn't it go straight to 10158 or 10159? I'm trying to do it the right way and keep getting bit in the ass.
Maybe you had slow ring on
I didn't have any ring on when I initially got the upgrade via WU. I want to know why they're still pushing an old build, instead of 58 or 59.
This build seems like a major step back from 10159. I was pleasantly surprised with 10159 as it felt like the most mature OS yet. On 10162 I have encountered:
These issues may not occur on your machine but I would take caution installing this build until more data is available.
Have you ran disk cleanup and disk defragmenter?
OK, Got 10162 up and running! It didn't appear in updates so I found an ISO, did the Rufus thing, and installed it. First impression of 10162 was questionable as mail, store, and taskbar flyouts weren't working. I just kind of kept playing around it, rebooted once, and what do you know everything is working!!!
I did have to manually add the Elan touchpad driver by opening device manager, clicking on mouse, and telling it go on line and find the driver. Mail, store, news, sports, money, Edge, taskbar flyouts, all working better than any other version I have installed so far.
I encourage everyone to find an ISO and go that route. Seems to do much better than Windows Update.
Can't wait for extensions in Edge -- Roboform and Adblock Plus -- so I can kick FireFox to the curb (already ditched Chrome)
I'm running 10159 on my SP3 and it's not seeing the update for 10162. Anyone else get the update on SP3?
I see it on my SP1 but it won't start installing for some reason. Keeps giving me an error code
How did you get 10159?
Same here running 10159 and windows update is not finding 10162. SP3
Im running 10159 on my SP3 and currently downloading 10162 - Adam
My update was stuck on installing a Windows Defender update. I opened Windows Defender and installed it manually and that got it going again. Now installing the new build.
What about the x32 versions?
There you have some x32 versions im updating when ISO upaloded ^^
Why they don't think about people with bad connections? It was a pain to download the last 2 builds.. I have 3MB connection :')
It's even worse when you do have the right connection but all updates go wrong. Still stuck on 10130 after 3 attempts to 10158 and 1 attempt to 10159...
i know that feel.
I have sympathy but it's like saying why go to the moon when there are hungry people.
For all ppl having issues upgrading to last version 10162 i leave here ISO links for downalod: Updating....)

Should we trust this? Gabe said it would take a while for the ISOs to become available... :-/
You can, they are built using publically available Microsoft esd files. They can be packaged into an iso

Does this build fixed the issue of store not opening ?
My l730 is amazing and gorgeous in preview build
Now all they need to is remove the ugly circles that are inconsistent throughout the whole OS considering there are squares and rectangles everywhere else.
Circles aren't inconsistent, they are for people and only people. It's actually very consistent. You may not like them, but that's something different.
There is a video in YouTube which shows the new People tile animations with circles rather than square contact photos.. And it's really nice.. I think WC didn't notice it.. And windows 10 mobile build 10158 emulator also got released with some minor upgrades us well.. :)
Ok, the roll in animation is nice but then I'd like to see it expand out to a square.
What about a triangle ? .. Circle to square to a triangle.. :P
Ellipsis would also be an option.

Source : LovableLumia youtube
Was about to say this. I didn't like the circles at first, thinking they would start putting curved edges on windows, but as soon as they said they are for people only it totally made sense.
Exactly
Any way of rolling back to 8anymore?
Windows Phone 7 messaging hub omg.
I already installed it but i don't see any differences. Let me explore.... XD
Will I be able to actually update to this one? My SP3 has been stuck on 10130 and Windows Update keeps telling me I'm up to date on updates....
Probably not unless you update via media. Are you running 8.1 Home?
Are you on the slow ring?
Can we just get those ISOs already? There's so many people dealing with update issues connected with crap build 10130 that it would be really, really nice of them to throw us a bone here instead of making us suffer with '130 another week.
ESD to ISO google.
How would someone do that if you can't even get the ESD file?
I have identic problem on build 10159 now :/ I'd made ISO from ESD file and I did update few hours ago (becouse earlier I couldn't update from 10130 too). Yet I have 10159 but I dont see 10162 :/
i have same issue i odont see the newer builds or any builds anymore. Last time i cued it with a router reset. This time ive reinstalled 8 and then tried and still cant go past 130.
I ROLL BACK TO 130 CAUSE ON 162 NO SOUND at all, thats not good enough for me. 130 is very stable on my machine
Awesome installing now!!
Really resisting the installing on my main computer. Being held back by the inability to open or create .csv files on excel preview.
Do you mean the touch/mobile preview?
Dam it!! Just noticed I had the mobile isntalled. Went and installed the 2016 preview from Office 365. Looks like I'm goin to install 10 on to my SP3 this weekend.
Can't even open excel preview anymore unless you have an office 365 account. At least mine won't.
It opens just fine for me. Only thing is that it has to re-activate over the internet. After that's done..it opened just fine.
Are they going to change the icons? Cuz they look horrible even worst than OS X. If not im seeing myself as a loyal customer of stardock
Doubt it at this point. It's mainly stability fixes
im already gona be there just cause i like program files on the start menu but its a pc so we can do that if we want :).
Here is a equation for all of us unable to update from 10130. Are you running the Windows 10 Home version? I am running the x86 version, as my HP came with 8.1 w/ Bing. I am installing 10159 Pro which asked me for a key. Perhaps there isn't a Hone build after 10130? There has to be a reason why we are unable to get the newer builds via WU.
Yes I have Home.
Crap, I just finally got 10159 to install (issue where it would not install) about 2 hours ago. here we go again !
Oh, best compatablity ? A must try to see if it fixes some apps that wont run...
Cortana seems to respond faster to "hey cortana"
Very good work. Can't wait until they start doing this sort of thing for phone. Constant builds pushing out. Such good work.
Yes, but it takes so much longer to run an update on the phone too. We'd be done with the restore by the time the next one hit, lol.
Anyone else having a hard time getting the store app to download and install updates? They just sit there saying "pending" and at 0%. I need the new Xbox app to test streaming on my Xbox One console on the preview program. It is killing me !
Open Run and type wsreset and press enter. This clears the store cache and restarts any pending downloads.
Wsreset did not fix that problem for me on all builds up to 10130. The only way I got the store to work was by resetting my PC.
The Store app is nearly completely broken in this latest build on my machine. In fact, EVERYTHING runs a LOT slower and crashes freqently. Edge is a completely uselss mess in this build. Just trying to make this post was long and painful...frequent circle of death and retyping because letters are SKIPPED.
John, what wallpaper are you using here?
I came here to read people bitching about another 3GB download. Don't dissapoint!
HAHAHAHAHHAAH RIGHT?!?!?!
For those experiencing installer stuck issues..try disabling the wifi from device manager BEFORE 'PREPARING TO INSTALL' STEP . This did solve the issue for me
I can't get it to download :S
Installation failed. Im trying it again.
Don't get me wrong, I love new builds... but it takes about three hours for a build to download on my pc, and about an hour to install. Takes too much time, if you ask me...especially three in three days!
Wow, less than an hour total for me. I just kicked the download off a few minutes ago and it's already at 70% on a 60 Mbps connection.
Same problem here.. Must have rebooted 50 times, also did a pc reset. The new builds don't show up. I also cant install some June insider update.
Try clearing out the windows update cache. A restart of the service may be required after that.
lol now changed the setting from fast to slow
i have limited internet data spent 10 gb trying to install 10159 .
i will not update until i get the full copy
waiting for 29/july
Done downloading and 50% preparing.....
I...only just installed build 10159...
And I just booted setings and build 10162 is 99% downloaded...
*still dizzy from the last hit
I'm not getting these updates!! every time i select fast ring i get put back in the slow ring i'm still on build 10130!
damnit I am not getting this one either! Please release that ISO now MS, I want to get the updates damnit
Is there a list of changes? Might put this one on my desktop if I can find out what sort of state the Nvidia drivers Are in at the moment
I hope that the three tile limit is gone.
The three tile layout let's you fit 9 in total on a surface Pro 3. The four tile only allowed 8 and looked a bit rubbish (on the SP3 specifically)
The problem is you cannot put two large tiles horizontally in the same group
yeah, I wish I could just have a solid block of tiles to work with, no limits horizontally or vertically!
If they at least give us an option for high-density tiles Start screen. :(
Amen!
I'm not caring too much for that. How about... This is mind-blowing, I know... An option that lets us choose how many tiles we want!? They can keep the weak 3 as the default, and let us select anything from 2 up to 6.
IT WOULD BE A REVOLUTION!!
I have been stuck so I played with the service windows update .. .. so when stuck just stop the service it autostarts and keeps downloading
Every time I update, windows slows down
Use disk cleanup and disk defragmenter in that order. Should speed your system up.
If you have an SSD, NEVER use disk defragmentation.
Actually, you can skip disk defragmentation altogether. It doesn't do much on modern computers, anyway, as long as you use NTFS. It is a better idea to just clean up files and move over big media files such as purchased movies or your own movies, to an external hard drive or cloud service, etc. Also, that way, you protect your files from getting lost, in case the computer hard drive fails in any way.
Why shouldn't you use disk defragmenter on an ssd?
SSDs don`t suffer from fragmentation. So, the only thing they really do is use up write cycles.
I'll take a new WinMo 10 build along with a new Win10 Enterprise build as well!
I have been stuck on 6% download for the last 20 mins....why?
The battery drain on the latest phone build seems to be linked to the maps app and the offline maps trying to download all the time. I set mine to 2 USA states and now I'm fine.
downloading.........hope they get some gesture controls back from 8.1...............I would love to be able to control the taskbar with a swipe up and down similar to the charms menu in 8.1.
My laptop is stuck in 10130. It's a yoga 2 13 pro. It has the latest update. . MSA connected.
Same here :( SP3
Same here HP
Download the ESDs, decrypt, make ISO, mount and install. It's easy and saves a LOT of hassle.
Download ISO for 10130 and install over 10130. This fixed the issue of not seeing the latest update for me on my SP3.
We're finally hitting the "plaid" ring.
nice spaceballs reference, and appropriate considering 3 updates in a week :)
Ludicrous ring!
All Windows Update is telling me is "We ain't found shit!!!"
DWondering if that will solve the issue where I can't enable Hyper-V on a fresh 10159 install. A critical thing for me.
Downloading... and hoping.
Good news. I can now intall (and use) Hyper-V.
Cheers.
I'm was surprised as well. Surprised that I cannot update my HP X2 from 10130. It was updated from 8.1 w/ Bing. Hasn't found any builds since. I have tried registry hacks, and still nothing.
Suggestions?
10130 is junk. It's been a problem since 10158 the other day, and so far nothing of note has been said by Microsoft. They should just do the right thing and give us an ISO of a newer build so that we can get past this absurdity.
Gabe said they won't release ISO as they need to solve this first and by releasing ISO it will take them longer to resolve as many will update with that, but he did also say they will have 10162 ISO next week so I expect they will fix this before then.
Insane Ring
Downloading just started here
Error: "There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80244007)" when check update
Had this too. Shut down and rebooted. Worked on the second try.
How about a surprise DENIM update for the Lumia 830???????
Now you are asking for 3 much
Go away.
@JohnStrk - you dont want that. denim broke a alot of 930s mic. microsoft has not issued any official response yet
I just checked and nothing showing yet
It's live. Downloading.....
Downloading now UK
the wait is almost over all update should be release to fast ring members this month.
OMG, this is getting awesome. I bet people now will complain they're releasing builds way too fast LOL
Lol not complaining but I've spent more time updating than checking the builds that's for sure
Maybe I will actually get this build. Frustrating few days.
You stuck on 10130 too?
I am stuck on 10130 too.
I really hope they have fixed battery draining issue.
Me too!!
This last build removed the images for Settings & Spartan from my task bar, but left the programs links there. Weird. Also can't open IE. It's more responsive and smooth, but apps won't open, as if the OS can't find them. Going to go for the next build cuz I'm a glutton for punishment.
just need to reload the apps that will not open.
I am now receiving 10162
Not seeing it yet. Hopefully it's available before I head to the airport. It'll give me something to play with on a long,boring flight. Edit: Spoke to soon. Showed up like 2 minutes after I posted this. Yeah booyeeee!
Wow! another build. Someone at microsoft is working overtime
Then they release another one tomorrow and insiders start dropping dead from adrenaline overload.
LMAO xD
Great!! Now shut up and release a new build for Mobile.
Hillary doesn't look too happy about the new build.
It has email "issues".
you win this post sir, you win.
Hillary never looks happy. Poor Bill
Release the iso now. Stuck on 10130 also because the update to allow further updates will not install. Kb 3070677 is the bad one. Tried to downplay the newer ISO's twice from different sources but didn't work for me. I'm on the home insider preview and don't want to switch to the pro edition and possibly screw up my free upgrade later on.
I don't any new update .... When that will be available?
That was fast...
...ring.
Segataaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
It usually take me 3 days to complete an build installation on my laptop (due to slow network connection) . Due to back to back release I have not been able to complete one. :D its rainy season here in India by all mean. ;-)
I could install any of the past 2 builds n another waiting.. It just doesn't seem to download.. How is this build??
