Update is only available for PCs in the Insider program

Microsoft has just rolled out a new cumulative update for PCs running Windows 10 preview builds, so if you’re not part of the Insider program, you’re not going to see it.

What’s odd with this update is that it takes the version number to Windows 10 14393.82, which the exact same version that another cumulative update released by the company earlier this week brought. In fact, Microsoft even says that if you have the old update running on your computer, you’re not going to see the new one, which is kind of weird, given the fact that it also includes an exclusive change.

Microsoft explains that this new update brings the same fixes as the previous one, with just one exception, but because you can’t see it, you’re not going be able to get this improvement - the chances are that it’ll be part of another cumulative update planned for the next weeks, so you should receive it anyway at some point in the near future.

“We have released Cumulative Update (KB3176934) to Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14393 on PCs which will bring the build number to 14393.82. This Cumulative Update includes the same fixes as KB3176932 but with an additional fix: Improved download size optimization of updates,” Microsoft explains.

Could be released to retail users soon

What’s also interesting is that these cumulative updates are currently available for insiders only, so retailer users are very likely to get them in the coming weeks when all the testing is completed.

Windows 10 build 14393 is the Anniversary Update that Microsoft released on August 2, so these cumulative updates are expected to be eventually received by all users who are running the stable build.

We’ll keep an eye out for more changes that Microsoft makes to its cumulative updates and will let you know when new ones are available for download for both insiders and retail users. In the meantime, insiders should get KB3176934 as soon as possible, if they can see it in Windows Update.
