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.

    As a developer for many many years I am appalled at how bad this update is.

    I know this is a technical preview but MS need shooting for this rubbish... in fact I am seriously considering dropping MS completely and selling both my surface pcs  and my Windows phone... you really need to vastly improve your game plan MS... get some serious controls into your testing programme MS dont be such a cheapskate and rely on the world....

    VERY BAD MS... VERY BAD

    my experience:

    I am in the UK and yesterday onto my Surface Pro 3 512GB I managed to download and install 3860...

    both wifi networks I have had no internet connectivity.... network helper failed to find or fix anything

    today i decided to try to refresh my settings... lost a bunch of apps in doing so but my wifi network connectivity seemed ok...  then i noticed ... ive reverted back to the previos build... oh is that whAT refresh does? ... but hang on... i have no history that i applied an os update .. and preview build tells me that there is NO update available... has MS pulled this **** already???? withoutr ANY comments....

    feedback methinks.... oh ****... microsoft feedback app does nothing switches from blue to black dos like box... more MS ****.... SACK THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT TEAM MS... DONT PUT THIS **** OUT UNTIL EVERYTHING IS FIXED....

    Build 9860 skips/omits letters all over the screen as you can see on the left. The build number 9860 won't print the "6" for example. I have some screen captures but can't save them to send to you because I can't read what's on the screen. YIf you want to send me an address I can email them to you. This build is badly broken. Also the Notify Me checkbox below doesn't work.
