Windows 10 Mobile build 10549 is available immediately, but the software giant warns that it’s releasing the new preview with a bug that blocks build 10536 from installing the new update, as such the new build is only available for mobile handsets running Windows Phone 8.1. If you want to test the new build and you’re running build 10536, the company recommends to use the Windows Device Recovery Tool to go back to Windows Phone 8.1. Once you’re back to your previous version, you’ll need to install the Windows Insider app, choose the Fast ring, and restart your phone. Only then, you will be able to download and install the new build. The company says that there is no plans to fix this build for those users running build 10536, instead in due time a new build will release with this problem resolved.
