We reported earlier today that Microsoft confirmed it would push another Windows 10 Mobile build to Insiders in the next 24 hours.

True to its promise, the Redmond-based company launched Windows 10 Mobile Preview build 10572, which it said it's much better than any of the previous versions, though it comes with a bug.

It's the same bug that affected the previous build (10549) and required Windows Insiders to go back to Windows Phone 8.1 in order to flash the new Windows 10 Mobile preview build.

The good news is Microsoft announced the issue has been fixed in Windows 10 Mobile build 10575, which is likely to be rolled out next week.

If you're wondering what Windows 10 Mobile preview build contains, here are some of the changes confirmed by Microsoft.

It might be one of the best builds rolled out by Microsoft

First of all, this comes with lots of major fixes and some very nice new feature additions. If you don't want to go back to Windows Phone 8.1 and flash this build, Microsoft promises that you will have no issues upgrading to build 10575 (or newer) when it gets released next week.

Also, in build 10572, Microsoft added Skype integration via Messaging, Phone and Skype video universal Windows apps.

Lots of Cortana improvements have been implemented as well, along with enhancements to Photo app. Windows Insiders will now be able to save offline maps to an SD card and there are also some storage settings improvements too.

Last but not least, with this build, Cortana will notify users on their PC when they have a missed call. Also, users will be able to reply with a text to the person who called them directly from the PC.

If you decide this build is worth your time, then you will have to go back to Windows Phone 8.1 using the Windows Device Recovery Tool, then install the Windows Insider app and choose Fast ring.
