Microsoft releases Windows 10 build 17115 SDK and ISO files

Updated March 13, 2018: Microsoft has also released the build 17115 SDK for developers.

Microsoft has released the ISO files for Windows 10 preview build 17115, coming just days after it rolled out to the Slow ring. If you're an Insider, you can use the build 17115 ISO files to perform a clean install on your PC.

To recap, build 17115 doesn't include any known issues, but it does pack a number of general fixes and improvements, as well as a new setup experience for your privacy settings. Here's a look:

What's new

A new privacy settings layout in the set up experience

  • This spring, we will release an update to Windows 10 that will include changes to the set up experience for privacy settings. This new design conveys focused information to help our customers make focused choices about their privacy and offers two new settings for Inking & Typing and Find my device. More details about the change can be found in this blog post here.

General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC

  • We fixed an issue where If you tried to open a file that was available online-only from OneDrive that hadn't been previously downloaded to your PC (marked with a green checkmark in File Explorer), your PC could bugcheck (GSOD).
  • We fixed an issue where post-install at the first user-prompted reboot or shutdown, a small number of devices experienced a scenario wherein the OS fails to load properly and might have entered a reboot loop state.
  • We fixed an issue where the Microsoft Store might be completely broken or gone altogether after upgrading.
  • We fixed an issue where when you denied Movies & TV access to your videos library (through the "Let Movies & TV access your videos library?" popup window or through Windows privacy settings), Movies & TV would crash when you navigated to the "Personal" tab.
  • We fixed two issues impacting the usability of Windows Mixed Reality on the previous build (Windows Mixed Reality running at a very low frame rate (8-10fps), and a potential crash at startup that could cause Windows Mixed Reality to not work).
  • We fixed an issue from recent flights resulting the Direct Messages section of Twitter.com potentially not rendering in Microsoft Edge.
  • We fixed an issue from recent flights causing precision touchpads to periodically need a few tries to be able to move the mouse.
  • We fixed an issue impacting the Italian touch keyboard layout where the period key would act as a delete key in UWP apps.
  • We fixed an issue impacting the Czech touch keyboard layout where numbers on the &123 view couldn't be inserted into UWP apps.
  • We fixed an issue where you couldn't use touch to interact with the Timeline scrollbar.
  • We fixed an issue where a failed app update could result in that app becoming unpinned from the taskbar.
  • We fixed an issue where the controls in the Focus Assist Settings subpages didn't have accessible labels.
  • We fixed an issue from the last few flights where after launching, minimizing, then closing UWP apps enough times, you would stop being able to launch UWP apps.

These ISOs mark the first to become available since build 17025, which were released all the way back in November. As development on the Spring Creators Update (Redstone 4) continues to wind down, it's likely that we'll see more ISO files released as more builds hit the Slow ring.

If you're a Windows Insider, you can download the Windows 10 preview buidl 17115 ISO files from the Windows Insider website now.
