Today Microsoft has released Windows 10 Build 14251 for Windows Insiders in the Fast ring.

Historically, the codebase for mobile had a different OS version than the codebase for PC because they were developed by different teams on different schedules. With Windows 10, it brought two codebases together.
Microsoft started by changing the version string displayed in the UI to be consistent, which is why you saw similarly labeled builds over the past year for both Mobile and PC, but the underlying binary version numbers were still different. As part of work getting the common codebase ready for the next release, we decided to complete that work and sync the build numbers between mobile and PC. Because the mobile codebase used higher build numbers than PC, we needed to jump ahead a bunch of build numbers to ensure updates to future builds will continue to work. So that’s why build numbers went from 11105, 11106, and 11107 to 14251.
This build doesn’t have notable new features

This build has fixed following bugs –

1-
fixed the issue where some PC games would crash switching from windowed mode to full screen, upon game resolution change, or upon launch due to a bug in Windows graphics stack. So play your games! If you run into any issues – please let us know by reporting in the Feedback app and include the game title.

2-
fixed the issue where applications such as Narrator, Magnifier, and third-party assistive technologies may experience intermittent issues or crashes.

3-
fixed an issue where File Explorer would crash frequently when DPI settings were at 175%.

Known issues –

1-
You might see a WSClient.dll error dialog after logging in. We’re working on a fix for this but as a workaround, you can run the following in Command Prompt with administrative rights: schtasks /delete /TN “\Microsoft\Windows\WS\WSRefreshBannedAppsListTask” /F

2-
The Connect button does not show up in Action Center. The workaround is to press Windows key + P and then click “Connect to a wireless display”.
3-
Due to a recent memory management change, you may see periodic app crashes or other memory related app errors. The workaround is to reboot your PC.
