The Release Preview ring will focus on Insiders that want to stay on the Current Branch (currently builds based off of 10586), but continue to receive early access to updates, application updates, and driver updates. Today we are introducing a new ring named the Windows Insider Release Preview ring for both PC and mobile. Improvements to the device reset experience when BitLocker\Device Encryption is enabled by enterprise policy or by the user.
This update includes some additional fixes:
Today we are sending out another Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 10586 which we are releasing today to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring, Build 10586.107. Upon reboot, the update seems to get applied but when it reaches 100, it says the update was not applied and that all the changes are getting undone. If you would like to try the latest update experience out on your device – you can use Windows Device Recovery Tool to go back to Windows Phone 8.1 and then re-enroll your device into receive Windows Insider Preview Builds. The update gets downloaded, then, windows update would ask for a reboot. Over the past few Cumulative Updates for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 10586, we have addressed feedback we have received from Windows Insiders on the upgrade experience from Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows 10 mobile.

PS: This update will increase the version number of Windows 10 from version 10.0 to version 1511 (i.e. Not necessarily ecstatic about the numbers, but the numbers say that Windows 10 is more relevant than OSX if you want to talk about by usage. The ISO files and Media Creation Tool will also come handy for people who want to perform clean installation of Windows 10 November Update build. Over 5 times as many use Windows 7, and still more people use XP than any version of windows except 7. A hair more use Windows 10 than OSX currently.
