    I've read that it will be offered through Windows Updates. It hasn't shown up yet though ( 8:30 AM PST ).

    Thanks. FYI if you install from this is does not update the beta and you have to uninstall that separately.

    So if you uninstall the beta and install the new version I assume that you will lose all your settings, bookmarks etc?

    I think it took the bookmarks from the beta (cannot check as I have removed it already) but nothing else (no extensions or custom setting).

    This release build is supposed to support Themes from the Chrome store, but it doesn't work. Has anyone tried it and been successful?

    If you want it via Windows Update you'll need to wait some time, see below:

    Watch the language when you download. When I tried to download this from Firefox the dialog was in Spanish. From what I have seen elsewhere, that would be what you end up with. I tried to download from the beta Edge and it was as expected.
