The Windows Insider Program might still be fun for some members, but for others, it is getting to be a confusing chore. Don’t get me wrong, it is cool that Microsoft lets fans try these pre-release builds of Windows 10, but lately, there have been too many builds, requiring too much user effort, with little to no payoff. Remember folks, the operating system should never be the star of the show — it should fade into the background as you do things with it.
Today, Microsoft releases yet another Windows 10 Insider Preview Build — 16278 for PC. Sorry Windows 10 Mobile users — you are being left out of this party. Unfortunately for PC users, this new build is quite boring, once again focusing on fixes. This shouldn’t be surprising, however, as the company is now focusing on making things stable for an upcoming gold version of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. To make things worse, the company has also removed yet another feature from the upcoming version of the OS — taking HDR screenshots with the Xbox app.
“Today we are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16278 for PC to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring only (not Skip Ahead) . As we mentioned in last week, we are now at the point of the development cycle for the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update where our focus is now on stabilization for release to the world. This means that we intend to release new builds to Insiders more quickly and that these builds will include mostly bug fixes. You’ ll notice that this build continues to include a bunch of good bug fixes Insiders will enjoy, ” says Dona Sarkar, Insider Program, Microsoft.
