We hope you are enjoying the current build of Windows Technical Preview. We promised you’ll get the latest build as soon as it’s available. Today we’re rolling out the first update: Windows Technical Preview build 9860. If you’re using the computer when the update downloads, you will be prompted to reboot after which you’ll see the “Installing your apps” screen, and then the new build will be ready to use. If you leave your computer plugged in and on overnight, the update will be installed automatically. Once installed, the build number displayed on the desktop will be 9860. More information about build 9860 can be found here but some of the new features include: New notifications through Action Center Move apps to other monitors with new keyboard shortcut Choose how quickly you receive new builds Please keep letting us know what you think! We are using your feedback to build Windows 10. ================================================================= Updated on 24 Oct 2014 ================== Thank you, everyone, for letting us know about your experiences with our latest build! This has been a great discussion, and we’re reading every message! To that end, this thread has served its purpose of announcing the new Windows build, and will now be closed. To make it easier for everyone to get help with their individual issues in the latest version of Tech Preview, we encourage you to either join an existing thread focused on your specific issue, or create a thread of you own if one doesn’t already exist. Please keep the feedback coming!

I have installed the update with no problems at all in my vm ware player, but it took like two or three hours to complete.

Yes, just upgraded to build 9860 and I also have this issue with the missing on-screen characters. I've only noticed this in the modern apps and IE so far. It looks like the font being used is not displayed correctly. Haven't tested it on AMD yet though. Very weird. Yes, same here, updated automatically and have missing characters in IE and Windows Feedback App

I see that ever one is getting the new preview of windows 10... but i have try ever thing to get the new up date,, i went to the store and pc setting... its says there no update.....where and how can i get the new preview of 10.... im running 9841.... are the iso files updated on micsoft site? or is it the old bluid? thanks Rick Hang in there it will come, mine only came a few hours ago...

New build made partition unavailable, the update to correct shut it down. now I am unable to access my windows ten partition. :S ugh. I know its supposed to be rough around the edges but comletely unstable? thats not the windows I know.

Based on all these responses, I think very few people are actually concerned about the diverse problems users are reporting in replies to this discussion thread. So as a safety precaution, if anyone has urgent matters with regards to Windows 10, you will probably fare much better posting your own separate thread. That is it.

You will get an update to Windows 10 Technical Preview soon
