Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 10166 finally arrives on the Slow ring
It’s taken two weeks to get there, but finally Microsoft has deemed the latest build of Windows 10 Mobile stable enough for Slow ring Insiders.
While the mobile version of the OS isn’t likely to launch until the fall, Microsoft is now mostly working on improving stability and squashing bugs along with some small changes and feature tweaks.
The majority of the known issues listed in Build 10149 have been addressed in this new release. Microsoft has also fixed the problem with the missing post-upgrade migration status screen. To anyone updating to Build 10149 it looked as if the process had frozen, when it fact it hadn’t. Another bug that has been resolved in the new build is the problem some Insiders encountered whereby they were unable to unlock their phones despite entering the correct PIN.
Problems with incorrect app colors have been resolved and the reliability of app downloads and updates from the Store have also been improved.
The tiny battery icon has been enlarged as well.
Microsoft suggests that once you’ve updated to the new build you go to the Store and grab the latest app updates, as there have been lots of improvements made to those in recent weeks.
