The feedback you provide on Insider Preview builds goes directly to our engineers to help develop Windows. To provide feedback, simply visit the Feedback Hub app in your Start menu. The Feedback Hub also connects you to Insider news, quests, community, and other resources. You can also use the Language Community App to help us make Windows better in your language. Find out how to provide actionable feedback.
Working with rings
Definition of rings
The options for the frequency of Windows 10 Insider Preview builds are called “rings.” Each ring presents a different level of stability and will be delivered on a different build cadence.
Rings are used to evaluate the quality of our software as it is released to progressively larger audiences. If the build passes all required automated testing in the lab, we will flight (release a build) with a new feature update, application, etc. to the first, most frequent, ring. The build will continue to be evaluated against a set of criteria to ensure it is ready to progress to the next ring. To get builds to Insiders faster, we changed the ordering of how we promote builds between rings, the ring progression criteria, and added a new ring.
Note: When enrolling a new device into the program, the default ring selection is Fast. Please verify below which ring fits your preferences and set on your device accordingly.
Fast Ring
The benefit of being in the Fast ring is that you will be among the first to use and provide feedback on new and improved features. If you have devices in the Fast ring, you should be prepared for more issues that might block key activities or might require significant workarounds. Because we are also validating a build on a smaller set of devices before releasing, there is also a chance that some features might fail in some device configurations. If significantly blocked, report the issue to us in the Feedback Hub app or the Windows Insider forums and be ready to reinstall Windows using the Media Creation Tool, see instructions at Download Windows 10.
Slow Ring
The benefit of being in the Slow ring is that you’ll still receive new updates and features on the Development Branch, but the builds will be more stable. Builds are sent to the Slow ring after feedback has been received from Insiders on the Fast ring and analyzed by our Engineering teams. These builds are serviced using the same tools and processes as our production builds, including our weekly security fixes, and address key issues that prevent many Windows Insiders from being able to use Fast ring builds on a daily basis. Note: Slow ring builds are still from the Development Branch and could have issues that might be addressed in a future flight. Learn how to Install.
Release Preview Ring
If you want to be on the current public release of Windows 10 but still get early access to updates, applications, and drivers without taking the risk of moving to the Development Branch, the Release Preview ring is your best option. The Release Preview ring is only visible when your Windows build version is the same as the current Production Branch. The easiest way to go between the Development Branch to the current Production Branch is to reinstall Windows using the Media Creation Tool, see instructions at Download Windows 10.
Skip Ahead
This is a unique version of the Fast ring that allows Insiders to “skip ahead” to Windows 10 Insider Preview builds in the next release while we are finishing up a current release. Enrollment in Skip Ahead is offered for a limited time to a small subset of Insiders.
Switching between rings
Changing rings is a simple process. Launch Settings, select Updates & Security, select Windows Insider Program. Under Choose Your Level, select between the following rings: Fast, Slow or Release Preview.
Working with updates
After registering in the Windows Insider Program and installing your first Windows 10 Insider Preview build, you will begin to receive updates to the device(s) you have enrolled. During the development process, the build number will change with each update. There are two different types of builds being delivered to your device(s):
Major builds
When a major build is released, is will include any combination of new features, updates to existing features, bug fixes, application changes, or other changes. For a major build, you will see the build number increment by 1 or more. Build numbers may or may not be consecutive based upon passing internal ring promotion criteria. For example, 14361 -> 14365.
Minor/servicing Builds
Also known as “Servicing” or “Cumulative” updates, these builds represent a smaller set of changes to a currently released Major Build. Servicing Builds often include bug fixes, minor operating system updates, or other smaller changes as needed. For example, 14361 -> 14361.1002 -> 14361.1003.
What to expect in each ring
While there is no set requirement for how build numbers are delivered to each ring, you will in general find the following to be true:
Fast ring: Major Build releases, very few servicing builds.
Slow ring: Major Build with minor build fixes attached.
Release Preview ring: Major Build change at a release milestone and then a continued series of Servicing Builds until the next release milestone is reached.
Find information about your PC
Below is a set of quick references for key information you may find useful as you participate in the program. This information will also be helpful when submitting feedback for build issues or feature suggestions, as well as reaching out for assistance.
How to find the build number
Go to Start, type winver, click “winver - run command.”
How to verify which flight ring I have selected
Open Settings, select Update & Security, select Windows Insider Program. The flight ring you have selected will appear under “Pick your Insider settings”.
How do I check which Microsoft Account (MSA) or Azure Active Directory (AAD) account I am using for getting builds?
Open Settings, select Update & Security, select Windows Insider Program and view the Windows Insider account information as displayed.
How do I verify my copy of Windows 10 is activated?
Open Settings, select Update & Security and select Activation. View the data as displayed.
Not receiving updates
While participating in the Windows Insider Program, you may find that your PC is not updating to the latest update as expected. This is rare, however, there are a few key items to review should you end up in this state.
Perform a manual check for updates
Open Settings, open Update & Security and review available updates or select Check for Updates. If you have set Active Hours, ensure your device is left turned on and signed in during the off-hours so the install process can complete.
Is your copy of Windows activated?
Open Settings, select Update & Security and select Activation. View the data as displayed.
Is the MSA or AAD account connected to your PC registered for receiving builds?
Click here to sign in with your MSA or AAD account. You will land on the page “Already a member,” if your MSA or AAD account is registered with the Windows Insider Program.
Have you selected a ring?
Open Settings, select Update & Security, select Windows Insider Program, and view the Choose your Insider level drop-down.
Have you recently done a roll-back?
Check your Windows Insider Preview settings, including ring-selection, Microsoft Account, and branch-selection.
Did you do a clean install?
After a clean-install and initial setup of a Microsoft Account, even one that has been used previously for receiving Insider builds, the appropriate targeting needs to take place for your PC. This background process is known as Compatibility Checker and will run during idle time on your PC. This may take up to 24 hours. Please leave your PC turned on to ensure this occurs in timely manner.
Are there any known issues for your current build?
There may be an issue with a build that could lead to issues with updates being received. Please check the most recent Windows Insider Blog Post or reach out to us @WindowsInsider.
Recovering a PC
If you are in a situation where you are unable to use your PC as expected, we want you to know how to recover your PC to a good state.
Assess the impact
What is the impact of the issue? Single app? Minor functionality?
Can you continue using your device or is key functionality not working?
Are you able to work around the issue? Would an alternate app suffice?
Is a newer build available that may have a fix for any known bugs being faced?
Troubleshoot & Discover
Troubleshoot the issue. There may be a workaround available. Reach out to us via the Windows Insider Forums or @WindowsInsider on Twitter. If important functionality is unusable, you may want to reinstall your current OS version. Prior to doing any reinstall or rollback, ensure you have backed up important files. While it is rare to lose data during this process, it is best to back up key data.
OS Reinstall
You will have several options to choose from, including an operating system-only reinstall or a clean wipe of your device: Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery and click Get Started under Reset this PC. Follow the on-screen directions to refresh or clean install the OS.
Roll-back to Prior Build
If your PC was working as expected on the prior build and you’d like to roll back without losing any data, you may try this option: Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery, and select Get Started under Go Back to an Earlier Build.
Note: After installing an update to your PC, you will have seven (7) days to roll back if necessary. If required afterward, you will need to take a future update or you may clean install an older build via bootable media.
Clean Install Insider Build via Bootable Media
One of the questions that comes up from time to time is how to create a bootable USB with a Windows Installation (from an ISO file). Having this can be helpful in various scenarios, from recovering a machine from a bad build, to bypassing various types of bugs, or even joining a new PC into the Windows Insider program.
Should you want (or need) to create a bootable USB drive from a Windows Insider ISO file, please see these directions.
Stop receiving Insider builds
To opt a device out of the Insider program, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows insider Program and turn on the Stop getting preview builds setting.
If the device is currently running a public release of Windows, opting out will happen immediately. Your device will require a reboot to complete the process.
If the device is currently running a prerelease version of Windows, it will continue getting updates until the next public release is installed. At that time we will take care of the opt out for you, without any action on your part (please note that depending on development timelines this could take some time). We do this to ensure your device does not get stranded on an unsupported version of Windows that may contain security vulnerabilities.
If you do not want to wait for the next public release to opt out of Insider builds, you can clean install Windows immediately. Please see instructions at Download Windows 10 or choose from the following, depending on which previous version you are recovering to: Windows 7 Recovery Image, Windows 8 Recovery Image or Windows 10 Recovery Image.
Support resources
Even though Insiders are self-sufficient people, the Microsoft team is ready to help you use Windows 10 Insider Preview builds. Along with the information provided in the User guide, the following options are available for support.
Windows Insider Blog
With each new build, we publish a Windows Blog post that outlines key feature changes as well as known issues that Insiders may encounter while using the build. Review the blog to stay up-to-date with news and information. Read the Windows Insider Blog today.
Feedback
Share feedback via the Feedback Hub. Other Insiders can add on to your feedback (or vice versa) and will allow you to create links to feedback that you can share for others to reference. Find out how to submit actionable feedback.

I need to develop an app for a Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.
I start looking for some tutorials or documentation for a 'Getting Started'.
After all I think I got the main facts but something still wonders me.
I look everywhere for an SDK or DTK but found nothing.
I found a small 'Tutorial': URL HERE
Empire symbol star wars. But everything refers to Windows mobile 6.5 SDK and DTK.
So is there really a difference between them? Or why do I need Windows Mobile 6.5 to develop for Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5?
Or am I totally wrong?

For me Windows Mobile 6.5 and Windows Embedded Handheld are just two names for the same.
MS often did re-brand products to make you think it is something different or better. Especially with the Windows Mobile Pocket PC series.
You need the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK to develop fur such devices: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5389
Although the DTK is OK so far it does NOT reflect the changed Screen Layout, for example if you design a form using it, Visual Studio shows a standard form with a large caption (Windows Mobile apps do not have a caption bar) and a normal menu bar (WM 6.5.3 devices show a larger menu bar).
Further on MS dropped some API functionality (SHFullScreen) without any notice. That's life.

Microsoft has renamed the Windows Mobile Platform to Windows Embedded Handheld.
There where releases in the following order:
Best mods in dead island riptide. Increased DoF! No Stamina Drain! Rainy Weather! + More!-Hey guys!
- Pocket Pc 2000
- Blue desktop theme as a default. Coloured windows logo inside the start button.
- Pocket Pc 2002
- Blue desktop theme as a default. Coloured windows logo inside the start button.
- Pocket Pc 2003
- Blue desktop theme as a default. Coloured windows logo inside the start button.
- Pocket Pc 2003 SE
- Blue desktop theme as a default. Coloured windows logo inside the start button.
- Windows Mobile 5.0
- Blue desktop theme as a default.
- Windows Mobile 6.0
- Green desktop theme as a default.
- Windows Mobile 6.1
- More optimized than 6.0.
- Windows Mobile 6.5
- Change: New dark blue desktop theme as a default.
- Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3
- Change: Like Windows Mobile 6.5 but with the Start-Button on the bottom
- Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5
- Change: Just renamed 6.5.3 back to Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 to add confusion.
From Windows Mobile 5.0 or later they come with a Windows CE 5 kernel and have the 32 MB of virtual RAM per process limit, so they didn't benefit form new Windows CE releases, which naming is as fucked up like the Windows Mobile naming.
On Windows CE you got:
- Windows CE 5
- Windows Embedded CE 6
- Windows Embedded CE 6 R2
- Windows Embedded CE 6 R3
- Windows Embedded Compact 7
- Windows Embedded 8
- Windows Embedded 8 Industry
- Windows Embedded Compact 2013
But wait, there is more. The Windows Mobile Platform died is no longer supplied with features/improvements, since the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework Team was moved to develop the Windows Phone Plattform. So these are the bastard childs and the spiritual continuation of Windows Mobile based on Windows Phone with some framework additions for datacapturing. Which include:
- Windows Embedded Handheld 8 (also named Windows Embedded 8 Handheld)
- Based on Windows Phone 8
- Windows Embedded Handheld 8.1 (also named Windows Embedded 8.1 Handheld)
- Based on Windows Phone 8.1
- Windows 10 IoT Mobile Enterprise
- Based on Windows 10 Mobile, which is based on the Windows Phone platform. We got a new rename, yay.

Windows Embedded 6.5 is backward compatible with legacy Windows Mobile applications.
As per Microsoft:
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5
Built on Windows Mobile 6.5 to power line-of-business applications in field mobility, transportation, retail and more.
Application compatibility with Windows Mobile 6.5, and a consistent SDK and set of APIs.
So I think you just should use Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK.

If you want to Sync your Windows Mobile with Windows 10 operating system, then you can do it by using Windows Mobile Device Center.
Before the launch of Windows 10, most of us were using Windows mobile device center in Windows 7. And I remember it saved me a lot of time.
With the new latest Windows OS version i.e. Windows 10, the Windows mobile device center is replaced with the Sync Center and trust me it is very useful.
With the help of Sync Center, you can easily Sync your contacts, calendar, tasks, etc. in real time if both the devices are ON.
