Microsoft recently released a new Windows 10 Redstone 3 build for PC to Fast Ring Insiders. Windows 10 build 16176 bring a series of bug fixes, as well as two new features.

Microsoft added serial device support for Windows Subsystem for Linux. In other words, users can now access Windows COM ports directly from a WSL process.

Second, users can now hold down the power button for 7 seconds to trigger a bugcheck. Keep in mind that this feature will only work on newer devices that don’t use legacy ACPI power buttons. Without further ado, let us see what’s new in build 16176.
