14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just re-released Windows 10 Mobile 10586.29 after pulling it on Monday due to a bug that caused installation issues on a number of Lumia 950 and 950 XL devices.
In a statement released this morning for ZDNet, the company confirms that all problems have been fixed, and the update is now available for new Lumia users via the phone update section.
“After momentarily pausing the Windows 10 Mobile update due to an issue with the update server that impacted the installation of the update on a limited number of phones, we have addressed the issue and will begin rolling out the 10586.29 update again,” a company spokesperson is quoted as saying.
This means that if you have a Lumia 950 or 950 XL that’s not yet upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile 10586.29, the new version should show up in the phone update section and be available for download just like any other OS update.
Known bugs
Microsoft admitted earlier this week that, on a number of devices, the new Windows 10 Mobile version didn’t show up, while others could not install it due to a bug that prevented the process from starting.
“We are aware of issues related to the recently published Windows 10 Mobile update, including: update not being offered, update appearing to get stuck at 0%, and pesky low storage notifications,” the company said in a statement when deciding to pull the update completely.
Windows 10 Mobile 10586.29 is available for Lumia 950 and 950 XL devices that aren’t enrolled in the Windows Insider program, so it’s critical to both users and Microsoft to make the process run smoothly on both models, especially because we’re talking about the company’s new flagships.
The update should already be available for all devices that are yet to update, so go over to the phone update section to see if it’s there for you too.
