Windows 10 build 14376 is out for Fast Ring Insiders

Microsoft today released Windows 10 build 14376 for Fast Ring Insiders. This build is from the Redstone branch which identifies itself as "version 1607". Microsoft is focused on bugs so this new release comes with no major changes or features. Instead, it comes with a huge list of bugfixes. Windows 10 version 1607, also known as Anniversary Update, will be released on 2 August, 2016, so Microsoft is polishing the existing functionality.

This new build comes with a very minor changes from the recently released build 14372, so you will not find many new features:

We have been testing with Windows Insiders a preview of the “Messaging everywhere” feature that allows you to receive and send text messages from your Windows 10 phone directly to and from your Windows 10 PC. The experience was well-received by Insiders however we believe we can deliver an even better experience through the Skype app. Because of this, we decided not to release this feature as part of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update this summer. Starting with Build 14376 and going forward, Insiders will no longer have the ability to reply to text messages from their phone via the Messaging app on their PCs. The ability to reply to text messages on your PC using Cortana is unaffected. Going forward, we will be working with the Skype Team on delivering a great “messaging everywhere” experience on your Windows 10 devices through the Skype app. We will share more details about this experience in the months ahead.

We also fixed an issue where the “For developers” settings page would be blank while checking for an optional package, and an issue resulting in no handwriting, speech and other optional components being listed for languages that do support them.
• We fixed an issue that could result in not being able to turn on “set time zone automatically”.

• We have improved the consistency in scrolling and zooming speeds between monitors when using a precision touchpad on a multiple-monitor setup.
