The Windows 10 Spring Creators is almost there, and the public rollout is projected to begin as soon as this month, with some sources pointing to April 10 as the date Microsoft has picked for the first stage.
The RTM build of the new OS release was compiled in late March, and Microsoft is now giving it the finishing touches using feedback and bug reports sent by insiders.
This means that when Windows 10 Spring Creators Update, also known internally as Redstone 4, would get the go-ahead, it’s likely to receive a cumulative update including all the changes that Microsoft has developed between the moment the RTM build was compiled and the public rollout.
WINDOWS 10 SPRING CREATORS UPDATE RTM
The RTM build of the Windows 10 Spring Creators Update is 17133 and it was released to users in the Fast ring on March 27. At that point, Microsoft acknowledged only three different bugs and no issues, meaning that everything performed rather smoothly. The desktop watermark was no longer showing up on the desktop since Windows 10 build 17128.
The very same build was published for users in the Slow ring on March 30, but this time Microsoft embraced a gradual rollout in an attempt to prepare for the public launch of Redstone 4, which is also expected to ship in stages.
Windows 10 build 17133 is being pushed to the Slow ring as “Feature update for Windows 10, version 1803,” which is pretty much the living proof that this particular build is the final version of the Spring Creators Update.
As per the Windows Insider program release schedule, the staged release of this build for the Slow ring is projected to end today, while users in the Release Preview ring should receive it shortly after that, in anticipation of the public launch on April 10.

THE NAME
Somewhat odd is that despite the rollout of the next Windows 10 release is just around the corner, Microsoft hasn’t announced the name it’s going to use for this version.
While everybody knows it’ll land as version 1803, the product name is expected to be “Spring Creators Update,” a moniker that showed up several times in various parts of Windows 10 preview builds.
This means Microsoft is about to launch its third “Creators Update,” after the original one in March 2017 (version 1703) and the Fall Creators Update (version 1709) in the fall of the last year.
THE STAGED ROLLOUT
Just like the previous Windows 10 feature updates, Redstone 4/Spring Creators Update will ship in stages, as this is an approach that allows Microsoft to identify bugs and compatibility issues and fix them before more computers receive the final bits.
In other words, while the rollout will begin on April 10, not everyone is going to get the Spring Creators Update on day one. Instead, alternative ways to install the new version right away manually will also be offered, including the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant that helps download the new OS and prepare the upgrade.
Users will get a new Windows 10 feature update notification when SCU becomes available
Typically, it takes approximately three months for Microsoft to complete the rollout of a new Windows 10 feature update, so everyone should be able to upgrade to the Spring Creators Update by the middle of summer, if the same schedule is used.
An announcement that would include all details, including the name of the new feature release, is expected to be released sometime this week, most likely when Microsoft makes the Spring Creators Update RTM build available for the Release Preview ring. If everything goes right, the first systems should be able to get the final release on April 10, followed by other waves of computers in the next few weeks.
