• Windows Insiders watch out: Build 18947 may be worth skipping

    Posted on July 24, 2019 at 06:47 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Warning from Zac Bowden:

    I assume Zac means both the Fast and Slow rings. Release Preview is still locked in to 19H2.

    Looks like it’s also being pushed to 64-bit machines.

    If you’re in the Fast or Slow rings, might want to sit this one out. Pause updates.

    UPDATE: Brad Sams has details on Thurrott.com:

    Users on the Insider rings know the risks of running pre-release updates, an accidental release of a build to all rings is a serious issue for Microsoft, but installing this build comes with even more risk than typical for the program. The company does try to hold back releases that will corrupt machines in the preview program but this release has slipped through without the proper telemetry to know if there are any major issues.

    ANOTHER UPDATE: According to Ed Bott on ZDNet, the bad build has been pulled.
