14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just released the new RTM build of the upcoming Windows 10 Spring Creators Update, and Windows insiders in the Fast ring are the first getting it.
Windows 10 build 17134 doesn’t bring any substantial change as compared to its predecessor, but instead, it corrects a bug that’s believed to have caused the delay of the Spring Creators Update.
Microsoft was projected to begin the rollout of Windows 10 Spring Creators Update on April 10, after the company previously shipped build 17133 as RTM to all rings of the Windows Insider program. Due to a last-minute bug, however, Microsoft eventually took the decision to hold back the release of the new OS feature update until it corrects the problem.
In most of the cases, Microsoft can deal with such issues using cumulative updates, but the company decided to publish a completely new build this time in order to make sure that everything goes smoothly for all users.
Possible launch of Spring Creators Update early next month
At this point, there’s no ETA for the Spring Creators Update, but given that Microsoft has restarted the testing process of the RTM build with help from insiders, it should take approximately one week until 17134 is promoted to all rings. If everything goes according to the plan, Windows 10 build 17134 could become available to the Slow ring today, before being published to the Release Preview ring later this week.
A cumulative update that might include last-minute fixes and other improvements could also be shipped on day one, so expect the Spring Creators Update to see daylight early next week, possibly on Tuesday.
It’s believed Microsoft could no longer use the Spring Creators Update moniker for the new OS feature update, but without an official name announced just yet, it remains to be seen if this change is indeed going through or not.
