Windows 10 v1511 System Apps: History of Updates


Here's a comprehensive list of updates to my Windows 10 v1511 PC system apps since this version of Windows 10 was installed on my PC on 14th November 2015.

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 (blue) or 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 v1511.
  • In v1511 there are 29 Windows System Apps, which are 3D Builder, Alarms and Clocks, Calculator, Calendar, Camera, Contact Support, Films & TV, Get Skype, Get Office, Get Started, Groove Music, Mail, Maps, Messaging, Microsoft Solitaire Collection, Microsoft Wi-Fi, Money, News, OneNote, People, Phone, Phone Companion, Photos, Sport, Store, Sway, Voice Recorder, Weather & Xbox

List Updated 27th July 2016

Count thus far is that there's been 315 system app updates since 23rd August 2015.

  1. Thank you for doing this! You are literally the only one on the internet who tracks these app updates (just google "17.6326.10031.0" for OneNote). Even Microsoft refuses to provide me with any way to update/get notified about these updates other than click the Check for Updates button in the store app.
