Another week, another Windows 10 build, and more bug fixes

Here is everything that's new and fixed in the Windows 10 Mobile Redstone 14267.1004.

The Windows 10 PC build is now the sixth new testing build in as many weeks and this release cadence is proving to be habitual instead of just a hopeful pattern of weekly releases/ Let me tell you Windows Insiders love getting these regular updates.

The Elite x3 is a powerful Windows 10 smartphone and the specs show.

"If you have Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Internet Security, or the Kaspersky Total Security Suite installed on your PC there is a known driver bug that prevents these programs from working as expected in builds from the Development Branch", Aul explained, emphasizing that this is the kind of bug that has to be expected in an early build that's only available to insiders opting for the fastest release.

The HP Envy x3, revealed this week at the annual Mobile World Congress convention in Barcelona on Monday, could provide a promising new use case for Microsoft's Continuum technology and perhaps create a new niche for Windows 10 mobile among business users. The company's flagship devices, Lumia 950 and 950 XL come with Windows 10 out-of-the-box.

Neither build has any new features; however, there are a number of important fixes.

Surface phone, a product of Microsoft is also supposed to be a business-orientated device.

The phone features dual front speakers powered by Bang & Olufsen; there's also an Iris Scanner and a Fingerprint scanner.

Also, the Elite x3 supports several encryption standards, such as FIPS 140-2 cryptography, SecureBoot, 128-bit key Unified Image Encryption, Anti roll back, fTPM 2.0 security, Enterprise grade VPN, 256-bit Full Disk Encryption and the Windows 10 128 Key Bitlocker. Organizations will be able to use Citrix XenApp or Microsoft Azure RemoteApp to provide virtual app experiences on the Elite x3 clients, the company said.

The display on the Microsoft Lumia 950 is 5.2-inches of Quad HD AMOLED at 2560 x 1440 with 564ppi. If you're not already part of the Windows Insider Program, you can sign up here. The fact that a player like HP is making a push with a new twist could at least help move the dial in the other direction, even if it only finds niche uses. "This is for large businesses and organizations, not consumers", wrote Patrick Moorhead, president of Moor Insights & Technology, who is over at MWC in Barcelona. HP is spot-on that mobile-compute power is skyrocketing, enabling PC-like capabilities. It's got the latest Snapdragon 820 processor as well, so it's in no way, slow.

There were a lot of talk about how little app the Windows store has to offer which is true but the fact is that most of the apps that you will need are there.
