Microsoft has finalized work on Windows 10, and the new operating system has been pushed to RTM, meaning that OEMs can finally start pre-installing it on their devices ahead of the big launch on July 29.
At the same time, the Redmond-based tech giant has rolled out build 10240, which is believed to be the new RTM build, to users enrolled in the Windows Insider program, but unfortunately, no new ISOs have been provided, despite the fact that this version is also aimed at those in the slow channel.

Microsoft has a good reason for not providing us with new ISOs: it wants insiders to try out the upgrade path it offers in order to make sure that Windows 7 and 8.1 users can install RTM flawlessly when it becomes available for their computers on July 29 or shortly after that.
Fortunately, the ESD files that Microsoft uses to ship these new builds allow anyone to create new ISOs, so clean installs are also possible. So head over to the end of the article to get either the x86 or the x64 ISO in English.
More updates coming soon
It’s interesting to note that, while this build is generally referred to as RTM, pretty much because it’s the one OEMs are getting to pre-install the OS on their devices, it’s not actually the final build that users will get on July 29.
In the remaining weeks, Microsoft will still ship a number of updates and improvements to insiders, so when Windows 7 and 8.1 users upgrade their computers to the new OS, they will get the very latest version available at that moment.
Windows 10 is never done, Microsoft said on several occasions, because the new operating system is part of a strategy that pushes it to Windows as a Service. So updates are now provided at a faster pace when they are ready, with the Windows Insider program to continue beyond July 29 for more improvements based on your feedback.

This build was released on 15 July 2015 to Windows Insiders and became the final build of the TH1 cycle on 29 July 2015. It is the first build to become available for consumers to install and was also available as a free upgrade for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users until 29 July 2016.

Findings[edit | edit source]
Dark mode[edit | edit source]
The dark theme can be enabled by editing the registry. However, this method will only work if you’re using Windows 10 Pro, Education, and Enterprise editions. It won’t work on Windows 10 Home. Navigate to:
Windows 10 Pro 10240 Product Key
(manually create the 'Personalize' key if there's not one), then create a DWORD key named AppsUseLightTheme
. After that, you need to repeat the above-mentioned steps, but for:
Colored title bars[edit | edit source]
Microsoft did not introduce the option to change the color of title bars until Windows 10 build 10525, however, you can enable colored title bars in version 1507 using a theme hack. Notice that inactive and active title bars have the same color, the only difference is that the inactive title bar text and buttons are grayed out.
Leftovers[edit | edit source]
Due to older code from beta builds or earlier versions of Windows not being removed, several older features can be re-enabled through registry tweaks or system file patches.
8.1 Start screen[edit | edit source]
One of the most known leftovers in 10240 is the Windows 8.1 start screen hack. In July 2015, MetroFetro released patched versions of shell32.dll
and twinui.dll
for x86 versions of Windows 10, the use of which (and a registry file) would restore the old Windows 8.1 Start screen. x64 versions were released in May 2019, however they unlock a more buggy Start screen than their x86 counterparts. It is unknown if MetroFetro plans to release a fix for this bug.
98xx notification flyout[edit | edit source]
The use of a registry file removes the Action Center and brings back the Notifications flyout from early betas of Windows 10. Once again, it is partially broken as it wasn't intended to be used in RTM, as some of the icons are missing, and the text can turn pseudo-like in non-English versions of the operating system.
Other older flyouts[edit | edit source]
En_windows_10_pro_10240_x64_dvd
Several other older flyouts from Windows 8.x still exist in 10, most of which can be found here (only 1-9 work in RTM, far less of which work in later versions of 10). Though it is commonly believed tweaks 1-8 in the listed article will work, tweak 9 will also work. Tweak 9 changes the action center back to the pre-release one. You can restore it by navigating to:
Windows 10 Pro 10240 Iso Download
and changing UseActionCenterExperience
value to 0, and then signing out of Windows and signing back in.
Notification Area Icons Control Panel[edit | edit source]
Windows 10 Pro 10240 Activation Code
The Notification Area Icons applet in Control Panel that was present in earlier versions of Windows has been moved to the Settings app by this point, and it's no longer present in the RTM. Versions 1507 until present still include the working applet, but it is hidden. To open it, use the following command: explorer.exe shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}
Bugs[edit | edit source]
- When choosing 'Restore default icon behaviors' in the Notification Area Icons Control Panel, the window hangs and then crashes. This bug does not always happen.
