Microsoft have released a new skip ahead build of Windows 10 Redstone 4. Build 17004 is available for Windows Insiders on the fast ring with the skip ahead option, and it sees the build number jump up to the 17xxx range something Microsoft do at the start of each development cycle. The main change in this build is fluent design in the start menu, items have a reveal highlight as you move over them.
