New Windows 10 Insider Preview Skip Ahead Build 18850 (20H1) - March 6 Insider

After two passes at getting things ready, I got a big blue screen. After restart, it is downloading- slowly.

On my second computer, it was downloading at about 89%, then it went back to ‘getting things ready’ screen—-something tells me the WU is screwed up or many of us are having similar issues

Problem is that messages don't exactly follow what is actually happening. "Getting ready" but downloading than starts getting ready again but downloading again. Now it's saying "Installing".

Of course it is fast - no new features worth mentioning. Even the Snip & Sketch is not really 20H1.

Skip Ahead should be renamed to Snooze Your Head.

By looking at their explanation it does look like Snooze Ahead. They keep fixing things that are not ailing me at all. Nothing new either.

Why would we expect messages from WU to tell us what is actually happening? MS at its best!

Lol, I don't understand the purpose of Skip Ahead. First they fix a lot of issues, then they actually start poking inside Windows core features, adding new features and break everything they just fixed. Eventually we get an official release with all the bugs still in place even though they were already fixed once.

We're lucky, how many people get broken fixed things, or fixed broken things, your choice
