Windows 10 update KB 3216755 is Actually Open to Anyone, Not Just Insiders

Windows 10 version 1607 update KB 3216755 build 14393.726

The last cumulative update for Windows 10, update KB 3216755, takes your Windows 10 version 1607 up to build 14393.726. But it’s not just for Insiders and not just available as a preview. Microsoft is using a new method of delivery that neither pushes the update to the Fast Ring, nor to public users via the traditional Windows Update route.

What Microsoft has done with this latest cumulative update is to keep it on the Windows Catalog and make it available to install, should you choose to do that.

That’s one reason that reports on KB 3216755 appear confused or unintelligible. It’s because of the new way Microsoft is using to push the update.

The update itself appears to fix a long-standing problem – the inability to create, rename or delete a folder on a shared network. The issue has been around ever since Windows 10 version 1607 was made available six months ago, and KB 3216755 finally addresses it.

Here’s a list of the improvements and fixes that Windows 10 Build 14393.726 brings to your PC:
