This is one of the last builds ahead of the public rollout

The development of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update is approaching the final stage, and the most recent build release as part of the Windows Insider program is living proof.

The change log in Windows 10 build 17763 has been reduced substantially, and while the focus is entirely on refining the performance ahead of the big launch, there are only a few changes from build to build.

Now available for users in the Fast ring, build 17763 comes with seven different improvements and six of them are bug fixes. The seventh is the typical mention that the desktop watermark is gone, with Microsoft emphasizing that this doesn’t mean the build is RTM by any means.

Few changes and two known issues

The full changelog is embedded into the box at the end of the article. Microsoft, however, says that it fixed issues with touch input on a Flash element in Microsoft Edge, as well as display scaling glitches that were discovered in the previous builds.

“We fixed an issue resulting in display scaling factors not being applied correctly (so the UI was smaller than expected) when viewing a full screen remote desktop window on a monitor set to certain display scalings,” the company explains.

In terms of known issues, there are the same two bugs that were included in the Skip Ahead ring published earlier today as well, namely Task Manager not reporting accurate CPU usage and arrows to expand background processes blinking constantly.

Windows 10 October 2018 Update is projected to be finalized in just a few days, and insiders are expected to receive the RTM build by the end of the month. If you no major bug is discovered, the rollout to all systems should begin in early October, with a day-one patch likely to be shipped in order to address all issues found in the meantime.
