While there might now be a shiny new Skip Ahead release scheduled for today, Windows 10 Insiders are still being greeted with a much appreciated Fast Ring fix it build.

InsiderPreview 17107 was recently released to the publicand brings a whole slew of fixes making it a bit more stable of a release for the weekend as well as new operating system behavior that should make your old PC run like new.

Here’s everything that’s being fixed with this build.

And, for the bonus, Insiders are getting their first glimpse at what I’m dubbing Background Updates. Microsoft may be stepping on a landmine here when it comes to user privacy, but it’s attempting to make Windows 10 run a little like ChromeOS and preemptively downloading and installing updates.

Windows Update Improvements

Keeping PCs Up-to-date: In an effort to prevent PCs from becoming out of date, we are introducing a change in behavior to Windows Update that is designed to be more proactive at keeping PCs updated. In RS4, now when Windows Update scans, downloads, and installs on a PC with AC power – it will prevent the PC from going to sleep when it is not in active use, for up to 2 hours when receiving an update in order to give Windows Update more opportunity to succeed. If you are not seeing this new behavior, let us know by sending in feedback via Feedback Hub.

There we have it, build 17107 in a nutshell. Insiders on both the Fast Ring and Skip Ahead release cycles can check their Settings page for the update.
