A new version of Windows 10 is up for grabs

Windows 10 build 10056 is now available for download from a number of file-sharing websites, so in case you know where to look, you can now see what's new in this particular version. This is probably a sign that we're very close to the release of the full ISO as well.

As we've reported to you earlier today, build 10056 comes with a number of improvements, including Spartan browser set as default and small changes to the Start menu, with the power button placed just above the All Apps shortcut for easier access.

But the most important change for many users is the introduction of a new Recycle Bin icon that's living proof that Microsoft is indeed hearing feedback and is working to include a new icon pack in the final version of Windows 10.

Interestingly, the new Recycle Bin icon looks a lot like the one in Windows 98, obviously with a few refinements, so modern is not exactly the right word this time.

Keep in mind that this is an unofficial release, so if you decide to install it and you come across any bug or issues, you won't receive any kind of support or advice from Microsoft.

The latest supported version is 10049 and Microsoft does not recommend insiders to download and install leaked builds.
