Release notes - October 2017

Welcome to Windows Mixed Reality! The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update release introduces support for new Windows Mixed Reality immersive headsets and motion controllers. You can now explore new worlds, play VR games, and experience immersive entertainment when connected to a Windows Mixed Reality capable PC.

The Windows Mixed Reality headsets and motion controllers release is the culmination of a massive team effort and a major step forward for the Windows Mixed Reality platform, including Microsoft HoloLens. While HoloLens isn’t receiving an update with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, work on HoloLens hasn’t stopped. We’ll have a lot of learnings and insight to apply from our recent work across Windows Mixed Reality as a whole. In fact, Windows Mixed Reality immersive headsets and motion controllers represent a great entry point to development for HoloLens too, as the same APIs, tools, and concepts apply to both.

To update to the latest release for each device, open the Settings app, go to Update & Security, then select the Check for updates button. On a Windows 10 PC, you can also manually install the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update using the Windows media creation tool.

Latest release for Desktop: Windows 10 Desktop October 2017 (10.0.16299.15, Windows 10 Fall Creators Update)
Latest release for HoloLens: Windows 10 Holographic August 2016 (10.0.14393.0, Windows 10 Anniversary Update)
