Several reports claimed that Build 17763 is the final version of Windows 10 October 2018 Update and today we have come across another evidence that confirms the speculation.

Windows 10 Build 17763 ESD has been discovered and this could be an evidence that the Build 17763 is the “RTM” if blocking-bug is not found, as it happened with Windows 10 April 2018 Update.

Shared by user abbodi1406 on MyDigitalLife private forum, the products xml page containing the ESDs suggest that the Windows 10 October 2018 Update will arrive on October 2 but there’s no strong evidence to support this claim.

The October 2nd release seems unlikely as the Build 17763 still needs to go from Slow to Release Preview ring, receive additional patches (if necessary) and the whole thing would usually take more than a week to complete. Microsoft is also holding an event “a moment of your life” on October 2 and there’s a chance that the company will announce the update at the event.

It’s worth noting that the same build number is available in the Fast ring, Slow ring and SDK. It’s also available on Xbox One and HoloLens which indicates that Build 17763 is the RTM.

If this build is indeed the RTM candidate of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, it should be pushed to the Windows Insiders in the Release Preview ring by next week and Microsoft will start rolling out cumulative updates to Insiders with additional fixes before the public rollout.

Windows 10 October 2018 Update comes with several improvements including the dark theme for File Explorer, new Clipboard experience, new snipping tool, improved Storage sense and several other changes.
