The first “issue-free” build of Windows 10 October 2018 Update, previously codenamed Redstone 5 (RS5) and will be labeled as OS version 1809, has been released by Microsoft to Windows Insiders inthe Fast ring. Windows 10 Build 17760 comes with several new improvements and bug fixes, and is the first build during the development of RS5 branch that does not contain a single known issue.

The changelog of Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17760 highlights the full compatibility of Windows 10 October 2018 Update with all major Tencent games and their anti-cheat mechanism. Thus, gamers who rely on cheats or hacks to play any games beware when upgrading to Windows 10 October 2018 Update.

It’s still early to say if Windows 10 Build 17760 is the RTM (released to manufacturing) final version, even though the build watermark at the lower right-hand corner of the Desktop is no longer present since several build earlier. Based on the past several Windows 10 feature updates, the RTM build for Windows 10 October 2018 Update v.1809 may be 17763.
