Microsoft released Windows 10 Mobile Build 10586.107, aka the February Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Mobile last night. As the update is just a cumulative update, it does not introduce any new features – however, it fixes a couple of bugs and should improve the overall experience of the OS. Here’s the key improvements in the February Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Mobile:

  • Reliability and stability improvements.
  • Bluetooth connectivity improvements with car and other accessories.
  • Microsoft Edge improvements to PDF rendering and navigation.
  • Improvements for battery usage with Iris Recognition for Windows Hello.
  • Update system improvements to fix a situation where some users had phone software updates and app downloads stuck at 0% for extended time periods.
  • Change to update system to now require phone to be plugged into a charger when downloading and preparing phone software updates.
  • Fix for a problem causing erroneous low storage prompts for some users when trying to download phone software updates.
  • Fix for a problem that caused erroneous prompts of Outlook account settings being out-of-date for some users, although account settings had not been changed.
  • Fix for a problem that caused some phones to get stuck on BitLocker Recovery screen after a reset.

If you own a Lumia 950 XL, Lumia 950, Lumia 650, Lumia 550, NuAns Neo or any other device that came with Windows 10 Mobile pre-installed, you should be able to get the latest cumulative update by heading over to Settings > Update & Security and checking for updates. It’s worth noting that the update’s availability may vary depending on your region and carrier – however, Microsoft states that the update availability will start with  open market variants, and they will roll it out to everyone over the next week if the release’s quality is good enough.
