As we predicted last week, Windows 10 PC and tablet users who are not part of the Windows Insider program are now able to download the 10586.63 build of the OS via Windows Update.
The update has the KB3124263 demarcation. Microsoft has not yet published the KB page for this release.
The release is another cumulative update for Windows 10 PC users. It is not expected to include any new features, but it will have some minor improvements and bug fixes.
Windows Insiders are currently on build 11082, which was released on December 16 and is part of the forthcoming Redstone line. Those users will not see any update, but may have patches available too.
