Microsoft pulls last Windows 10 builds

by on14 July 2015


Gearing up for release

Microsoft has suspended the availability of Windows 10 build 10162 or 10166 in the run up to the big launch day in a couple of weeks' time.


Redmond is asking Windows Insiders to stick with the build they currently have installed for the time being, before the big launch date and anyone who hasn't upgraded to these latest preview builds is out of luck.


Microsoft is also suspending ISOs, activation and updates. The builds that have been released are incredibly close to RTM code, but feedback is still required. Microsoft asks that Insiders continue to use the Windows Feedback tool to report problems as there is time to fix issues before launch day.
Writing on the Windows blog, Gabe Aul said:

We're suspending the availability of Windows 10 builds briefly while we prepare for that, and the next build that we flight to you will be delivered using the production channels. Starting tomorrow, we will also not be delivering any additional ISOs at this point as we really need Insiders to be using, stressing, and validating our distribution and upgrade processes. We'll make ISOs available again in the future, but for now we ask you to upgrade your current build via Windows Update once the next build is released.

 

Soon prerelease keys will no longer activate builds, build 10162 ISOs will be taken offline, and anyone checking Windows Update will be told that they are up to date. Microsoft says that the next build to be released will be made available through final production channels.
