Microsoft today released Windows 10 build 17035 Insider Preview for Fast Ring Insiders and "Skip Ahead". This build is from the "Redstone 4" branch, which represents the upcoming Windows 10 version 1803. Windows 10 Build 17035 includes several bug fixes and minor improvements.

General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC

• ATTENTION DEVELOPERS: We fixed an issue from the previous flight where launching an app with a debugger attached caused it hang at the splash screen. Debugging UWPs now works again.

• We’ve updated Cortana Collections to now support light theme.
• We’re making some changes to the Data Usage settings page under Settings > Network & Internet — you’ll notice some differences in this build. Not everything is working so stay tuned for an announcement in a later flight when everything is up and running.
• We fixed an issue where some Store download errors were unexpectedly displaying on the Windows Update history page.
• We’ve updated the Action Center to now use Fluent Design’s Reveal. You’ll also notice we’ve updated “Clear all” to now say “Clear all notifications” to improve discoverability.
