  • Addressed issue causing "Print all linked documents" to not work in Internet Explorer 11.
  • Improved reliability of downloading and updating games from the Store.
  • Addressed issue preventing some users from changing the default download location in Windows 10 Mobile.

This is the same build that rolled out to Windows Insiders on the Release Preview ring earlier this week. It's worth noting, however, that tonight's release looks to be only for PC so far. We'll update this post if and when it hits Mobile as well.

Thanks for the tips, Ratindra and Christopher!
