Microsoft holds on releasing Windows 10 Version 1803 to the public

A couple of weeks ago, I revealed that Microsoft had internally pegged April 10 as the release engagement of the next major version of Windows 10, known only every bit 'Version 1803' at this time. Just like with the Fall Creators Update, I had been told by contacts that Microsoft was planning to begin rolling out this new release on April's Patch Tuesday, but that'southward now come and gone and there'south no sign of the update. Then what has happened?

Co-ordinate to my sources, over the weekend Microsoft found a blocking issues that, while plain rather rare, is impactful enough to hold the release until the outcome is stock-still. Microsoft has internal criteria that a build needs to pass earlier information technology goes out to the public, and that criteria is actress thorough when information technology comes to the production 'ring,' as you might expect. Thanks to feedback from Insiders in the Fast, Slow, and Release Preview rings, this issues was defenseless before rollout began.

Got some more info on this: Microsoft was going to rollout on April ten, but plant a blocking bug over the weekend that was bad enough to hold the release. Not certain if bug was fixed in 17133.73 or if it'll come in another patch. RS4 volition probable begin rollout in a couple weeks at present. https://t.co/qxcbHCdPUo

And that'due south pretty much it. Microsoft has decided to agree the release of Version 1803 until the company can verify the problems has been resolved, which means it'll probable be another couple of weeks before Version 1803 is given the greenish light for rollout. Luckily, there's no real rush for Microsoft to get this release out the door, then it tin (and definitely should) take its time with this. I believe build 17133 may no longer be in the running as the RTM build of Windows ten Redstone iv.

On the subject of taking its time, Microsoft is also yet to denote a name for Version 1803. We're non too sure why this is the example, but you tin can be sure we'll keep you posted on the matter. Microsoft will probable announce more details regarding its release in the adjacent few days, so make sure you stay tuned to Windows Central for that and more on Windows 10 Version 1803.
