Last week saw the release of a huge Windows Insider build, but things have been quiet at Microsoft since then. The reason why? According to head Ninja Cat Dona Sarkar, there won’t be any new builds this week (and early next week) due to the fact that the Windows Insider team is on (a much needed!) vacation.

#WindowsInsiders the build labs are closed and we are all on vacation till about Jan 2-3. You can expect more Windows answers then.

Sarkar also mentioned that Microsoft’s build labs are also closed, so you won’t expect any new builds until after January 3rd. It’s not a problem, really, as there were many issues with builds in the lead up to last week’s release, and the Windows Insider team rightfully needs to enjoy their time off following the stressful times.

In the meantime, you can feel free to check out some new Quests in the Feedback Hub. As expected, these quests go over some of the new things in build 17063.

#WindowsInsiders There won't be new flights until at least a few days into the new year, but if you're on 17063 and looking for something to do check out the Quests in the Feedback Hub – we added a bunch of new ones going over the things to try in 17063 ???? https://t.co/MfWOF5m1KT pic.twitter.com/n7VPvGkW8V

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
