Windows Insiders, was a bug causing Steam to crash all of a sudden and Microsoft itself confirmed that this was a widespread glitch.

Windows Insider head Gabriel Aul has recently announced that the cause of this problem has been found and a fix was implemented in new build, so everyone should basically be able to play games on their Windows 10 computers when the new versions roll out.

Aul says that a hotfix for steamservice.exe has been implemented in fbl_awesome builds, which are generally known as versions aimed for consumers and providing better reliability and performance than the original Technical Preview releases.

Microsoft is expected to introduce a new build of Windows 10 next month after a January 21 event focused on the consumer experience on the new OS, but it's not yet clear whether the fbl_awesome version would indeed be shipped or not.

The company, however, is very likely to unveil a collection of new features, including Continuum and a more refined version of Cortana that would allow users to perform certain tasks on their computers with voice commands. The event will take place in Redmond and will be streamed online for all users worldwide.
