About this tag
The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709, codename Redstone 3) was released on October 17, 2017, as a major feature update that introduced the Fluent Design System, Windows Mixed Reality headset support, and HDR video capabilities. It also removed or deprecated legacy features such as Syskey, EMET, and the Reader app. The update was part of Microsoft's Windows as a Service strategy, with two feature updates planned for 2017. Some users reported installation failures on devices running OS build 15063, often requiring a rebuild. Discussions cover the update's features, removed components, mixed reality push, and troubleshooting issues.
