Microsoft has suspended the release of Windows 10 Insider Preview
Usually, Microsoft will launch a new Windows 10 Insider Preview every week. In the Insider Preview, Microsoft will provide various new features for testers to experience in advance.
But now Microsoft has suspended the distribution of the Insider Preview version. Specifically, Microsoft is now suspending the weekly release of new versions because of the need for stability testing.
Microsoft said that in the next few weeks the development team will focus on Build 21390, during which only service channel updates will be released to test and update basic functions. Suddenly suspending the development of the preview version is probably to hide new features.
We know that Microsoft will hold a press conference for the operating system on June 24. If there is no accident, Microsoft’s Windows upcoming release should be Windows 11.
Therefore, the suspension of the preview version at this time is likely to be that Microsoft is developing some new features worthy of attention, but does not want to make them public before the press conference.
The best choice is to pause the preview version first so that Microsoft can continue to develop new features until after the conference, package them into the new version and push them to testers.
As for which features Microsoft wants to hide, we still don’t know for the time being, but since Microsoft intends to conceal it, it’s better to wait for the press conference to surprise us.
In addition, we need to remind users who are currently using the development version to keep updated, because Microsoft is frequently pushing service channel updates to test and update basic functions.
This type of service channel update does not have new features and is usually suitable for testing certain basic content. From the Microsoft blog, there are currently three service channel updates released.
The three service channel updates are KB5004071, KB5004092, and the latest KB5004123, all of which are pushed in the form of cumulative updates. Therefore, users of the Insider Preview version may frequently see the prompt that the system needs to be restarted.
