Windows 10 v1607 System Apps: History of Updates

Here's a comprehensive list of updates to my Windows 10 v1607 PC system apps since this version of Windows 10 was installed on my PC on 4th August 2016.

Statistics on System App Updates per Month can be found here

Note:
  • "What's Changed, if known" information comes from either what I've noticed (black), what the store lists as what's new (blueor via the app itself (red).
  • Windows Store "What's New" change-log information doesn't often get updated with each update, thus I wouldn't trust them to be up-to-date as you read them in the store.
  • The Date is in UK format, and is not necessarily reflective of the date the version was released as I'm not on my computer every day of the week.
  • These are only updates to Windows System Apps via the Windows Store.
  • These are only updates to the PC version of Windows 10 v1607.
  • Changes to System Apps in v1607: New apps are Connect & Quick Assist, Feedback Hub, Skype Preview & Sticky Notes. Microsoft Wi-fi is renamed to Paid Wi-fi & Mobile. Get Skype is gone.
  • In v1607 there are 33 Windows System Apps, which are 3D Builder, Alarms and Clocks, Calculator, Calendar, Camera, Connect, Contact Support, Feedback Hub, Films & TV,  Get Office, Get Started (renamed to Microsoft Tips), Groove Music, Mail, Maps, Messaging, Microsoft Solitaire CollectionMoney, News, OneNote, Paid Wi-Fi & Mobile, People, Phone, Phone Companion, Photos, Quick Assist (under Accessories), Skype Preview, Sport, Sticky Notes, Store, Sway, Voice Recorder, Weather & Xbox

List Updated 4th April 2017

Count thus far is that there's been 208 system app updates in v1607.
