Microsoft will not be releasing a new Windows Insider build this week, with updates set to resume next week.

Typically, Microsoft rolls out new Windows Insider builds on Thursdays or Fridays. However, today marks a deviation from the norm as no new version has been released. The official Windows Insider account has revealed on X/Twitter that there will be no new builds this week.

The decision to not release a new build often stems from the failure of certain versions to meet internal testing standards, leading to a temporary halt until a satisfactory version emerges. Other times, pauses are due to holidays, such as the upcoming Thanksgiving, during which the Microsoft engineering team will be taking a break.

The Windows Insider team has announced that updates will resume next week. The next scheduled break in updates will be over the Christmas holidays, likely resulting in a 1-2 week hiatus from new build releases.

Users of the Windows 11 Insider Preview can continue to explore the current version for any new features and improvements until next week. See you then!
