Microsoft today started rolling out the latest new Windows 10 Mobile Insider Build 10586.36. This latest version continues to introduce minor revisions and performance enhancements.
Windows 10 Mobile Update 10586.36
According to a blog post by Microsoft exec Gabe Aul, the most recent build addresses feedback the company has received from Windows Insiders and customers using the Windows 10 flagship phones Lumia 950 and 950 XL.
It’s also worth noting that Microsoft won’t be publishing blog posts to announce new Cumulative Updates for Windows Insiders. Instead, the announcements will be issued in the Insider hub.
Going forward, we won’t be publishing blog posts to announce new Cumulative Updates for Windows Insiders to test. Instead, we’ll publish these announcements in the Insider Hub so please check there for news. If you follow me on Twitter I’ll keep sharing news there as well.

It’s also worth noting that during the holidays Microsoft engineers will be spending time with their families, and there will be no new releases for Windows 10 mobile or PC until January.
This latest update comes on the heels of Microsoft pulling Windows 10 Mobile Build 10586.29 from its servers after Lumia 950 and 950 XL users were experiencing issues with the update including seeing low storage notifications, the update getting stuck at 0%, or not being offered at all.
A few days later, Microsoft did return 10586.29 to its servers a few days later. But from some of the feedback we’ve received, some Lumia 950 users are still having problems downloading it.
Hopefully, everyone who owns a Windows Phone and in the Insider program, no matter which model, will be able to download this latest build successfully. But, of course, remember this is still the technical preview.
To get this latest update on your Windows phone, go to Settings > Update & Security > Phone Update.
Also, note that after installing this new build, check your apps because there will be plenty of updates for them, too.

Yeah, these Windows 10 Mobile updates are weird. Sometimes I get them to work after doing a complete shutdown a couple of times. Or, I’ve also had to leave the phone plugged in overnight to finally get the update.
Of course, to get the best results, make sure your phone is connected to Wi-Fi.

I haven’t tried downloading yet because I found out during the last upgrade that it requires WiFi because some carriers may block downloads of a certain size. I have high hopes that it will download quickly once I get home. :-)

My 640XL updated without issues after freeing up some space by deleting apps that I’m currently not using.

After downloading, my nokia lumia started to install but stopped midway and now keeps restarting. It can not bypass this and thus my phone is I guess bricked.
Please help
Thank you
John.

Nokia 635 I am on the W insider programme, all ok until auto update of 10586, now phone tries to reboot the gears come up and the I get :-(
Tried to hard reset phone but no exclamation mark come up the only other thing I can get on screen is like a lightning bolt and one gear, but still nothing happens.

Any ideas anyone

Downloaded and installed Build 10586.36 on Lumia 930 (formerly ICON) without problem – several app updates were also required (e.g., Equalizer) after install. Lumia Motion Data and Hey Cortana work now. Some problems remain. The biggest in terms of annoyance: (1) battery life remains abysmal with a good day allowing for two to four hours of light/moderate use before dropping below 10%, (2) a Bing Maps links in Edge either crashes the browser or soft resets phone, and (3) a minimum of two soft reset cycles are needed to unfreeze the lock screen – the first soft reset leaves the lockscreen frozen and non-responsive.
On the whole, though, the successive builds continue to refine the OS and (largely) improve upon the previous. The more important functional issues are largely resolves with the focus shifting to annoyances or convenience-related items. I agree with Microsoft in the delayed final release. Forcing the final release into December 2015 was premature albeit frustrating for those waiting. Working out the annoyances for another month or two over a two to four builds is worthwhile.

I installed 10586.29 into my L930, battery life went down to about 6hours with light use. If i keep on battery saver, usage was about 50% within 6 hours, without touching anything. Tried to get 10586.36 but it was not downloading, stuck at 0%. Now i rolled back to old 8.1 and got the earlier sweet battery life. Nice update but need to fix these issues
