Microsoft on
Thursday, 1 June apologised for releasing internal Windows 10 builds for PC and
mobile to Insiders "accidentally". The company also said that it
would not be releasing new builds this week.
In a posting on Windows Blog, Dona
Sarkar, software engineer at Windows and Devices Group explained the rollout of
the builds were unintentional and this happened "because an inadvertent
deployment to the engineering system that controls which builds / which rings
to push out to insiders."
The company was
quickly reverted the deployment of the internal Windows 10 builds,
and put blocks to stop the builds from seeding for more Windows Insiders.
While
it did not reveal how many people were affected but said only a "small
portion" of users got these builds.For PC
Those Insiders,
who received the internal build on PC, note that they include issues which
impact the usability of the PC. You may either wait until Microsoft publishes
the next build or consider rolling back to previous build.
To
revert to an earlier version go to Settings>> Update &
Security>> Recovery. You have up to 10 days to roll-back. Also, keep in
mind this process will work if you did not do Disk Cleanup to remove the
previous build.
For mobile devices
If
you have installed this build, your Windows 10 Mobile device will get stuck in
reboot loop. You can recover the device by using the Windows Device Recovery Tool and
re-flash. After that you can join the Windows Insider Programme again and
choose any ring.
If you have
downloaded the build and have not installed, you will need to do a reset by
going to Settings>> Systems>> About and then check your Insider
programme settings to ensure you are on the right ring. Do not forget to create
a backup of the phone before performing a device reset.
