Windows 10's
updates and maintenance are following a different, better path to all prior Windows releases: one with more regular updates and quicker access to new features for those who want it, while still offering enterprises a slower pace of delivery. With the
first update to the Windows 10 Technical Preview a month ago,
Microsoft also enabled a two-speed update track for the million or so members of the Windows Insider program.
By default, preview users are put on the slow track. However, about 10 percent of users have put themselves on the fast track. The first (
contentious) fast track release was made almost two weeks ago, and fast track users have been using it since then.
Those fast track users also revealed a variety of problem scenarios. The two big ones were the screen going black (and staying black) every time a PC was unlocked, and a blue screen of death. A pair of patches have been released to fast track users to address these issues, the second coming yesterday, and both of them seem now to be fixed.
