Windows 10: New build confirms Redstone 5 update is Windows 10 version 1809

Microsoft is committed to Windows 10 update cycle with two different releases every year, in April and October. So the Redstone 5 update is likely to be finalized in September and it’ll be rolled out to the general public in early October. Obviously, the insiders already have access to new features.

Today, Microsoft has released a new update for the Windows Insiders and it advances the system enrolled in the Fast Ring to Build 17741. Windows 10 Build 17741 has confirmed that the Redstone 5 update could be labelled as version 1809.

Windows 10 version 1809 naming suggests that Microsoft might wrap up its development in September with an October release likely to follow. For those unfamiliar, the first two digits represent the year and the last two are an indicator for the month – for Redstone 5 it’s September.

Windows 10 Redstone 5 (version 1809) is in the final development phase and it will hit the RTM status in September.



Microsoft has already started thinking of names that could be used when Windows 10 version 1809 is ready.

By the looks of things, Redstone 5 (version 1809) could launch as “Windows 10 October 2018 Update.” It’s not a fancy name like Creators Update, but it makes more sense considering the update cycle. For example, the current release is called Windows 10 April 2018 Update so it certainly makes sense for the Redmond-based tech giant to consider “October 2018 Update” as the final name.

Windows 10 October 2018 Update and version 1809 naming scheme help both Microsoft and users easily determine the OS version they are running.

While it’s almost confirmed that the next version of Windows 10 is 1809, but the company hasn’t confirmed the official name of the Redstone 5 update yet. October 2018 Update is a placeholder and further changes can be made overnight at any point.

Given that we are getting closer to the public release of next Windows 10 update, the first references to the OS name in the official documentation could be discovered soon.

Two major Windows 10 updates scheduled for 2017




It may come as no surprise, but Microsoft won't release another major update for Windows 10 in 2016. The good news is you can expect two big updates to Microsoft’s latest operating system in 2017.

Microsoft let the information slip in a TechNet blog post published earlier in the week. “Windows 10, version 1607 is our third Windows 10 feature update released,” Microsoft said in the blog post. “Based on feedback from organizations moving to Windows 10, this will be our last feature update for 2016, with two additional feature updates expected in 2017.”

The blog post appears to confirm reports from the Windows rumor mill about the timing of the next two updates for Windows 10. The first update, dubbed Redstone 2, is expected to roll out in early 2017 with the second, Redstone 3, landing in the summer or early fall, similar to the timing of the recently released Anniversary Update (previously known as Redstone 1).

This schedule would put Microsoft back on a two updates per year schedule similar to the initial rollout of Windows 10, as Windows Central first pointed out. In 2015, Microsoft released Windows 10 (also known as Threshold) in July and then the November Update(dubbed Threshold 2) three months later.

This time around, Redstone 2 is expected to roll out in the spring and then Redstone 3 should hit about four to six months later.

The impact on you at home: Of the two updates, Redstone 2 looks to be the most interesting so far. Not necessarily because of the features, which are believed to be largely things that weren’t ready for the Anniversary Update. The big deal is that the early 2017 update is expected to roll out in concert with new hardware from Microsoft, asZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley first reported back in March.

Early builds of Redstone 2 are expected to roll out to Windows Insiders in the coming weeks.
