Windows 10 build 10240 (th1) is the official RTM build of the original release of Windows 10 originally released to Windows Insiders in the Fast and Slow rings on 15 July 2015 and later generally released to the public on 29 July 2015.[1][2] It is the first build to become available for consumers to install and was also available as a free upgrade for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 users until 29 July 2016.[3][4]

It contains very few changes over build 10176 (th1). However, it does include several changes over build 10166, the last preview build in the Threshold Wave 1 release cycle. These changes include the removal of the watermark and timebomb, widespread stability improvements and a branch change from fbl_impressive to th1.

Build 10240.16384 is the last RTM build of Windows to have a build number that is divisible by 16 and the delta bumped to 16384. This is a remnant of the older 20-bit revision numbering scheme, which used the most significant bits in the delta number to encode extra information. The 4 least significant bits of the build number were reserved for the Service Pack number, although Microsoft hasn't produced a Service Pack since the release of Windows 8.

The limited range of usable revision numbers for a single Service Pack under this numbering scheme led to the build number of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 being bumped to 6003 towards the end of its lifetime in order to ensure that future updates continue to have distinct version numbers.

Microsoft did not introduce the option to change the color of title bars until November Update build 10525, and builds prior to 10525 include a check in the uDWM.dll binary that forces the window caption color to white if the currently-applied visual style name matches aero.msstyles; this can be bypassed by either using the Aero Lite theme or copying the Aero theme's resources to a separate folder and renaming related resources (such as multilingual language resources) to anything other than the name aero, followed by modification of the existing theme definition file (aero.theme) to point directly to the renamed resources. Note that inactive and active caption bars utilize the same color, the only difference being that text and buttons are grayed out once a window is unfocused.

In beta versions of Windows 10, it was possible to make Internet Explorer use the Microsoft Edge rendering engine. While the UI for that got broken during the development, the actual functionality still remains functional in this version of Windows 10. To use the Microsoft Edge engine, change the following registry keys:

On July 2015, MetroFetro, notable for previously creating the Metro Unlocker tool for Windows 8 builds, first released modified versions of the shell32.dll and twinui.dll dynamic link libraries (alongside a registry modification) for the x86 compile of this build, with code changes made to re-enable the older start screen from Windows 8.1, a functionality which was disabled in late builds of Windows 10.[5] This was later followed by the release of less stable x64-compatible variants of the aforementioned libraries in May 2019.

The use of the SHCore.dll patch, which restores a number of aforementioned pieces of legacy functionality intended for Server SKUs, will also restore taskbar jumplists to their previous Win32 state. The same behavior can be exhibited in Threshold 1-era builds of Windows Server 2016.

The authui.dll file in this build still contains all the code for the Windows 8.1 login screen, however LogonUI.exe doesn't use it by default. By replacing LogonUI.exe with the version from build 10154, it's possible to restore the Windows 8.1 login screen. However, it has a bug that causes the user to get locked out if the computer is locked and there isn't more than one user account, requiring the user to restart the computer to fix it.

On 12 November 2022, work was done to restore the legacy DirectUI-based start menu first introduced in build 9780 to the 2015 release build of Windows 10, based on knowledge of late Windows Server 2016 development builds from the initial Threshold 1 development cycle still utilizing the older Start menu design at this stage of development (such as in builds 10163 (fbl_ur1) and 10244). This involves patching the SHCore.dll library to force server edition-specific checks (which were implemented to prevent usability issues, as Universal Windows Platform applications were not yet fully supported in server releases) to return true, resulting in the system falling back to the older start menu design.[6]

Applications and shortcuts can be successfully pinned to the start menu, both to the list on the left-hand side and onto the right-hand side as tiles (in contrast to the older 8.1 start screen code, which lacks proper support for pinned applications), but must be dragged into place from the All Apps menu as various context menu associations from earlier builds of Windows 10 no longer work.

The patch will also replace most flyouts (battery, network, volume, and date & time) with their legacy counterparts, albeit with the additional consequence of a non-functional Action Center unless the user manually rolls back to the Notifications flyout (from early builds of Windows 10) using the below registry modification provided within the next section.

The settings related to notification area icons are moved to the Settings app by this point, and the Notification Area Icons applet in Control Panel that was present in earlier versions of Windows is hidden. To open it, use the following command: explorer.exe shell:::05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9

Starting from Windows 10 build 10061 (fbl impressive), the Help and Support app has been changed so it opens the web browser and takes the user to the Microsoft website. However, the way it was done causes an invisible Help and Support window to open in the background. It cannot be revealed through normal means, requiring external tools such as WinExplorer or Window Detective to be used to reveal it, as well as enable the navigation controls. Due to the fact that it was not meant to be shown, the user will manually need to change the help type from the bottom bar for the help content to actually load. While this version still has the help articles, they were removed in a later version of Windows 10.

I recently did a complete reinstall of Windows 10. When I try to install Photoshop CC and Lightroom Classic (I have a subscription), the CC app gives me puzzling results: I see only the PS CC 2017 version, the LR CC 2015 version, and no Lightroom Classic.

Tried reinstalling the CC app, signing out/in multiple times, restarting Windows, installing and deinstalling PS CC 2017, all without result. I run the latest version of Windows 10 Home, with the big april update.

Thanks guys, you are both very right. But it's crazy that it's such an old version: I just installed Windows 10 like a week ago, using a USB stick freshly made with the Windows Media Creation Tool. Why would it install an ancient version and after a few days work, still not update itself?!

Solved, but not how it should. The updates Windows was downloading failed to install: after a restart I got an 'unknown error' and Windows reported back that my pc was now fully up to date, although it still was build 10240.

Based on continuing discussions with security experts in Microsoft, the Center for Internet Security, and customers, we are publishing a few changes to the security configuration baseline recommendations for Windows 10, version 1507. Version 1507 was the original RTM release of Windows 10, and is also known as "Build 10240," "Threshold 1," or "TH1." Version 1507 is also the current Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) build, which is the primary reason for continuing to update the baseline for this version. Those who are not relying on the LTSB track should have already updated to version 1511. Note that we are simultaneously releasing final guidance for version 1511, also known as "November Update," "Build 10586," "Threshold 2," or "TH2."

Many users who performed a clean install of Windows 10 build 10240 cannot activate it. That is because Microsoft has disabled the online activation until the end of July 2015. If you are interested in activating Windows 10 build 10240, here are a few simple steps for you to do that without using any cracks, hacks or third party software.

Thank You Very Much Bro. I Was Just Like You Scrolling Down Tons of Websites for 3-4 Days. I Even Contacted One of the Microsoft Support Person But Nothing Happened. I Just Had To Turn Off My Antivirus For 30 Minutes cause It Blocked The Download. I am Very Much satisfied With Your Technique. Thank You Again Bro

I just realized I was not able to sign in my Microsoft Account to use the Windows 10. I am using it under a local account. I wonder what is up with that. There is no network error. I was able to login via Onedrive, but not anywhere else. I also tried logging in through the Windows Store and it gave me and error that something went wrong. I have no firewall issues and this is being used through a VMware Machine. Also, I have my Android Microsoft Account App and every time I do attempt to sign in correctly; I get a popup to approve the device. Weird.

I am going to do a complete reset of the Windows 10 to see if I can sign into Windows 10 via my Microsoft account. I was able to add an account and sign into my Microsoft account, but I had fewer sync options.
