The recent announced option Skip Ahead της Microsoft που αφορούσε την γρήγορη access στα πρώιμα builds των Windows 10 μέσω του προγράμματος Windows Insiders, is no longer accepting new members.
The option gave Insiders access to the new builds of Redstone 4, the code name for the significant update of Windows 10 expected to be released in the middle of 2018, after updating Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, codenamed Redstone 3, which we will see online this September.
Skip Ahead, as the name suggests, allowed some Insiders from Fast Ring to have access to Fall Creators Update versions, where most new features are not likely to be added since we are close to the big news release.
Last weekteam, however Microsoft had not released any new Redstone 4 upgrades to Insiders enrolled in Skip Ahead.
Skip Ahead is still there, of course, but as MSPoweruser pointed out, the program does not accept new members.
“Skip Ahead is now closed. Selecting this option will reset the setting for Windows Insider Program”, the new Windows settings state.
As Microsoft recently explained, it "forked" Fall Creators Update into the RS3_RELEASE branch, which was formerly RS_PRERELEASE.
Those who chose Skip Ahead will now receive updates from the much less stable one channel and well in advance of release, while the RS3_RELEASE branch channel will become more stable shortly before its eventual public release.
