Windows 10 Mobile Build 10586.122 Visits Slow And Release Preview Rings

Microsoft has just released another update to Windows 10 Mobile, bringing us up to version 10586.122. The company notes that this isn't going to be the bulkiest release it's let loose, but that those coming from Windows Phone 8.1 should notice the most obvious improvements with regards to the upgrade experience. The company also added support for 4 new phones: MCJ Madosma Q501, BLU Win HD W510U, BLU Win HD LTE X150Q, and ALCATEL ONETOUCH Fierce XL.

This is one of the rarer builds that actually goes to the Slow and Release Preview rings, so if you're running the Fast ring and want to go with a more "stable" version for whatever reason, you will have to switch to one of those rings temporarily in order to update. You can then move back to the Fast ring and update as soon as a new build is released.

Those who are really willing to get their hands dirty are encouraged to provide feedback with regards to upgrading from WP 8.1. If you're already on Windows 10 Mobile, you can use the Windows Device Recovery Tool to downgrade to 8.1, and then freshly upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile  again. That might sound like a strange thing to do for most, but this is all done in the name of testing by those who want to help.

A full list of fixes in 10586.122:

• Improved Kanji input experience while using Continuum.
• Improved the speed in which thumbnails appear for portrait videos.
• Improved Internet Sharing on select mobile network configurations.
• Fixed an issue in Microsoft Edge that prevented Word Flow input on some sites.
• Fixed an issue that previously prevented the option to “Close all Tabs” in Microsoft Edge from closing all open tabs.
• Improved IMS registration on select mobile network configurations.
• Fixed an issue where adding your MSA during OOBE would fail and prevent the account from being re-added after the failure.
• Improved the email sync experiences when connecting to Wi-Fi networks with a captive portal.
• Improved data connection profiles for dual SIM devices.
• Updated background processing of multiple changes to improve battery life of devices.
• Improved quality of video record to SD memory cards.
• Improved video recording audio in some cases.
• Improved overall OS reliability, including reliability of the Start screen, app updates, and the Windows Feedback app
• Improved Alarm reliability.

As with all betas, the point of Microsoft allowing people to test out the latest builds is to provide feedback, so if you've been slack on doing so but have experienced problems, do the company a solid and chime in. With the number of releases we're seeing, it's clear that Microsoft is determined to make its latest OS as stable and feature-rich as possible.
