Windows 10 updates: Microsoft kills off Skip Ahead ring for Insiders

▤ Summary

Skip Ahead was restricted to a limited number of users who opted in to that part of the Windows 10 preview program. And in future the company does not intend to offer Skip Ahead as an option for Insiders to sign up for. Microsoft only says it wants all users in the Fast ring to have the latest preview builds of Windows 10. It meant users in the Fast Ring would skip previews of the 19H2 branch, or the November 2019 Update, and go straight to 20H1. That was part of its response to the October 2018 Update, or version 1809, wiping some users files, causing Microsoft to halt the rollout for five weeks, and the lack of control Windows 10 Home Edition users have over installing feature updates.
