Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14393 for PC and Mobile

14393....only seven builds away from the heavily rumored RTM build of 14400....will we actually see 14400 as the RTM? Everyday without a build being finalized lends itself to making this rumor true. Only time will tell if 14400 is the signoff build for Anniversary Update.

 

All done and dusted *Smile





Getting a bit late here in the UK so I'll give it a good looking at tomorrow.

 

Downloading on both my insider computers. Took me most of yesterday to get 14390 but almost through with 14393.

 

Not like they couldn't just jump to 14400 from any build they wanted to. In fact, the frequency of builds lends itself to the idea that it might be a number larger than 14400

 

+1, there might be one or two more builds. One more for this week and one next week and then we hit 14400.

 

Why are people putting any mystic significance on 14400 other than it is 120*120?

The build number is purely arbitrary.

 

I don't know but MS tends to try and follow some consistent pattern and that would be the number they most likely will use.

 

In fact the TH2 version 1511 was the first build to break a rule in build numbering of stable releases since Vista: until last November's update, all stable RTMs have been divisible with 16, on purpose:

OS Name Version Build Windows Vista RTM 6.0 6000 Windows 7 RTM 6.1 7600 Windows 8 RTM 6.2 9200 Windows 8.1 6.3 9200 Windows 8.1 Update 1 6.3 9600 Windows 10 RTM 10 10240
Build number of TH2 version 1511 (build 10586) was surprisingly not divisible with 16, but I wouldn't be surprised if they went back to that now with Anniversary Update. You know, 14400 is divisible with 16 *Smile

Or, why not 14416?

A quote from Windows Confidential: Numerology of the build | TechNet Magazine:

 

Well...
... the Build number is new...
... that's about it! *Confused
No bugs here.

 

Anyone notice the Startup sound plays when the Lock Screen loads, and not when you land on the Desktop?

 

Here's a first. Build 14393 is released to the Fast Ring and it is the highest build number on buildfeed.net (NT Builds). I would think that if nobody comes up with a showstopper than 14393 will be the the RTM build. After installing 14390 I'm back to getting stuck at 25% of install completed and it bombs. I'm going back to a previous image of 14390 before 14393 made an appearance.

 

Build 14393 downloaded and installed as an update in 23 minutes. ISO Created and all install files cleaned. System Restore turned off again and has been re-implemented. This build seems solid and I have not yet even rebooted.

Looking good so far. Stable as usual on my end.

Night all..
