Windows 10 Build 10586.338 hits the Release Preview ring

Microsoft has been very generous in build releases lately. The Windows Insider team pushed build 14352 for desktop systems to Fast Ring Insiders, build 14356 for mobile devices, and also the Windows 10 Mobile build 10586.338 to the Fast Ring.

This build flood confirms that Microsoft is thoroughly preparing for the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. The aforementioned builds do not bring many new features, as the company is focusing mainly on improving system performance and fixing the existing bugs. Microsoft is directing all its resources towards making Windows 10 a stable OS that will run smoothly when it will officially be released.

Shortly after the Windows 10 Mobile build 10586.338 was pushed to the Fast Ring, Microsoft also rolled it out to the Release Preview ring for PC and Mobile. This confirms that the build is reliable, stable enough and less prone to bugs. Of course, this build doesn’t bring any new features, but it offers performance improvements and bug fixes.
