Important updates for Windows 10 Build 15063 users
Hi, I just noticed something important and wanted to pass it along. Windows 10 Build 15063 likely won’t have the same long-term support as earlier versions for apps in the Windows Store. This is mainly because the Windows 10 Build 16299 SDK introduced new capabilities. Specifically, Windows 10 Build 15063 can’t run UWP 6.0, so any app relying on it must move to Build 16299. This change happens since UWP now uses .NET Standard 2.0 and offers many new APIs for the first time. It’s amazing how much power developers now have. However, there’s a trade-off: you can’t target Build 15063 for new features or games unless you update. If you’re using Build 15063, consider updating once all issues are resolved. Hope this helps!
Hope companies avoid being affected by fresh UWP applications, since many are still using the existing LTSB version, release 1607, build 14393.
They may remain on the previous app iteration until they upgrade, or they'll need to install a version they prefer—unless it's available as a UWP release, which seems unlikely.
