Microsoft Releases a Windows 10 Mobile Build That Nobody Cares About

Microsoft rolled out a major Windows 10 build for PCs a few hours ago, once again providing insiders with a plethora of new features and improvements, but at the same time, the company also published another yawn-inducing Windows 10 Mobile build that's boring to say the least for the Slow ring.

Windows 10 Mobile build 15223 was originally released to the Fast ring on June 13, and 8 days later, the company decided to publish it for the Slow ring as well, but once again, there is nothing to be excited about because there are no new features in here.

Three fixes, one known issue

In fact, build 15223 comes with only three bug fixes and one known issue and there's a good chance that none of them concerns your device.

For example, this build addresses a bug where only the first VPN profile was displayed in the VPN settings page in Settings > Network & wireless > VPN, as well as as an issue causing a meeting time zone to be garbled in Chinese or Japanese. And last but not least, Microsoft has renamed Phone Update to Windows Update to be aligned with PCs running Windows 10.

There is also one known issue in this Windows 10 Mobile, with Microsoft explaining that in some cases, the WeChat app may crash on launch, with no workaround available for the time being.

As far as a more important release is concerned, there are no details available just yet, but people close to the matter said Microsoft is already preparing a reboot for Windows 10 Mobile based on CShell.

Work on this project advances behind the closed doors, but there's still no ETA as to when the go-ahead would be given for insiders. For the time being, these boring builds are all we get on Windows phones and expect more of them to land in the coming weeks and months as well.
