The RTM build of the Fall Creators Update is now rolling out to Insiders in the Fast ring. Get updating!
Microsoft is rolling out the final build of the Fall Creators Update to Insiders in the Fast ring today, which is packing new bug fixes and changes. This is the final build, also known as the Release To Manufacturing (RTM) build, which means from here on out Microsoft will be servicing build 16299 with cumulative updates and patches.
The Fall Creators Update is pretty much done at this point. From here on out, Microsoft will be fixing any last minute bugs via patches installed through Windows Update, rather than using full new builds. 16299.15 is the last full build Insiders will receive for the Fall Creators Update.
With build 16299.15, you can clean install or leave the Insider Program without worry of your install eventually expiring under the Insider Preview. This is the official, non-preview release of the Fall Creators Update.

Windows 10 build 16299.15 is rolling out to Insiders in the Fast ring
So can we directly go to this build from RS2?
Edit: Confirmed :)
Mail app under latest release seems as 100% more flaky than previous release. Runs for 2 minutes then closes. Repeatedly.
I Have NOT Received it ?? What Up ??
ISO?
Works great on my Lumia 950 XL.
Yeah, right.
Realtek HD Audio is gone after update, how do i fix it? Instead a high Definition Audio Controller PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8D20&CC_0403 Shows "cannot be started"
Tried reinstalling the Realtek drivers?
Finally! We can comment again from the UWP app!
..and now I'm getting “Unknown layout specified in manifest” when I launch Store.. :(
Change your Region settings.
is this for pc? or for windows phone
PC
Major upgrades always make me happy, even if the features aren't awe inspiring Desktop Windows needs polish to really shine.
since 16299, 6 GSOD, none with previous versions (slow ring)
Huh,finally I can exhale.Fall creators update is complete.
Finally I can post comments from the Windows 10 app again
Test. Indeed
Yes, very nice indeed ;)
Not from the phone :(
I comment from my Lumia 950
Update your app and login.
Why does this need a full build download? surely to go from .0 to .15 is the same as a cumulative update? MS could have changed the 16299 Insider build to RTM with just a patch
I guess the developers know. How about Insdiers who had opted out of the fast ring recently and want to jump on this latest release?
Anyway, what's your problem with downloading a full build? Time? Money?
No reason, just seems strange. I have fast 100Mb/sec unlimited broadband. Normally minor build revisions are done with cumulative updates rather than full builds
A clean install or reset of 16299.0 is stuck in the Insiders Program and has an expiry date. The base image has to be redone to remove these restrictions. The actual UUP download was only 1GB. The rest of the upgrade is assembled from the existing 16299.0 files. Most prior recent build downloads were 3GB.
16299.15 will become the base build number that a clean install will apply, prior to any further zero day patches and Cumulative Updates that may be released by the October 17th official launch.
I hope they release the ISO for this soon. The laptop I normally install new builds on is down. I'm hoping after I get it fixed I can download it and do a clean install. I have more than one laptop and the other one was running the anniversary edition but has started getting the patches for the creators update.
I reckon Slow ring tomorrow or Thursday, Release preview next Monday and then ISOs available. Hopefully ISOs will be available before then though
Anyone have the download link of the ISO?
Official MS ISOs are not out yet but soon probably
Groove still included for the suckers, i mean free beta testers?
With Windows 10, the apps are installed seperately and can be updated seperately too (unlike macOS (photos anyone?)
The app itself will continue to work (possibly be updated) just fine. The streaming services are being shut down.
We need ISO files now.
Wow, I just listed my Xbox on Ebay. Cancelled all my subscriptions and have no confidence after the Groove thing. So, this thing just doesn't interest me anymore. **** MS and its poor service.
To be honest, the groove music subscription wasn't very popular or successful.
Most people use YouTube, Spotify or other means to get music.
The Groove music app still works fine, it's just the subscription and music streaming is gone.
Actually you can't even buy and download music anymore from the Store, so theres that. Groove Music app will be just a local music app, eventually be renamed just a Music app. What I'm afraid of is the improvements may go to halt eventually, that is not even guranteed to even on-par with WMP in terms of music library management capabilities. Groove Music was forgiven a bit for lacking such capability since its primarily a music stream service. I didn't even expect that they even discontinue to actually buy music from Microsoft Store.
Yes it is.
who cares (anymore)
Why are here then?
Glutton for punishment am I
The half billion or so Windows 10 PC users might?
Is this RTM?
RTM refers to Release To Manufacturing build. In simple words, creators builds were prototypes and RTM is prettymuch the finished product. All the bugs and cons of the creative builds are probably solved and MS concluded all of their insider previevs into a final RTM build. RTM would have no bugs will serve as a updated replacement for existing OS for daily use and would be reliable..(hope fully)
or... the current build is as close to the published release date as possible, they liked the build number and decided to stick with this. All the bugs would be taken care of with patches rather than rebuilds.
I agree with ypu on all, except the "no bugs" part. I am yet to see windows 10 without bugs. No matter what version and for what device, windows 10 is the most unstable system from Microsoft. Well, at least is not so bad as windows Millennium or vista.
Nice!
It looks like it didn't get to 163x
heheh .. i also noticed it. Loks like im not the only prodigal son around here... Cheers Mate !..........
I was expected it also to be 163xxx...well maybe they have something in mind.
Why didn't they do 16300 for a nice number is unknown to me.
