Sorry Windows Insiders, there won’t be a new flight for the Dev Channel this week, the Windows Insider team announced a couple of minutes ago. “This week’s Dev Channel build candidate didn’t pass our quality gates,” the team wrote on Twitter, adding that it’s hard at work on fix with hopefully a new build coming next week.

Hey #WindowsInsiders – This week's Dev Channel build candidate didn't pass our quality gates, so no new flight this week. 🙁 The team is working hard on a fix and we'll be back at it next week. ^AL pic.twitter.com/1FmvkFa1I6

Two days ago, Microsoft released a cumulative update with no new features for last week’s build 21301, which brought minor improvements to the touch keyboard. The Windows Insider team also updated the list of known issues for the build 21301 to mention a new bug affecting some Dev Channel Insiders to upgrade to this latest build.

In case you missed it, Microsoft also yesterday released a new cumulative update with no new features for Beta and Release Preview Insiders still running Windows 10 version 2004. This same patch is also available as an optional update on the Production ring.

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.
