The availability of this update may depend on your phone model, region or network service provider. At the time of writing this post, the update is available mainly for selected open market variants, but the rollouts should continue gradually during the coming days and weeks.  

Windows 10 is updating continuously, so make sure you follow all the update notifications that appear on your phone. To check for updates, you can also tap Settings > Update & security > Phone update > Check for updates. For detailed update instructions, see.

If you are a Windows Insider user, see. Note: this does not affect general firmware availability.

    Andreas, Microsoft Mobile does not communicate estimated arrival times of firmware updates—at least, I never saw this happen. If you do not go for Windows Insider but stay in the Production Mode, your phone is going to notify about the firmware update automatically.

    Janet, those are the latest version for a RM-1105 right now. You have not missed anything, yet. Now, your phone should notify about the update automatically – when it comes. Anyway, when the firmware or OS updates are released for AT&T USA, I am sure somebody is going to update this thread.

    I have a new 950 and updated windows yesterday. Turned my phone off today and now it won't restart.

    Any suggestions? (Apart from a reset)

    Had the phone a week and it's been a very frustrating experience so far. :(

    Did you try a "soft" reset? Just take out the battery for a few seconds. Its the easiest way often, without this terrible pressing of all the bottons.

    Also the Lumia starts normally by its self, if you connect it to the charger.

    Good luck

    Still not getting this firmware on my 950 XL in Malaysia. I have switched back the Windows Insider to Production mode and have been manually checking for update 2-3 times everyday since this announcement. Can someone advise why is there a long delay. I got the first firmware update pretty fast like on the next day after the announcement. Something to do with my country authority or carriers? They are known to be inefficient.
