Windows 10 Spring Creators Update public rollout was expected
on April 10, but
Microsoft has decided to delay the Redstone 4 update due to a
last-minute bug. By the looks of things, Microsoft is
considering a new name for the newest version of Windows
10 operating system.
Microsoft was expected to launch the next version of Windows 10
as Spring Creators Update (also known as Redstone 4 or version
1803) earlier this week. Microsoft however discovered a bug and
the company is now making changes to the operating system.
Microsoft could possibly release the update with a new
name.
Microsoft hasn’t officially announced the name, build and
released date of the next version of Windows 10 yet but the
company is expected to publish a blog with more details later
this month. It is worth noting that Windows Build 17133
has also been released to all Windows Insiders, and the next
obvious step was the public rollout that has been delayed.
Windows 10 Build 17133 has been considered to be the RTM build
of the next update, and Microsoft has already released
cumulative updates. However, it appears that Microsoft
is still looking for a new RTM build and new builds will
be released to the Windows Insiders until then.
The ever-reliable BuildFeed has spotted Windows 10 build 17134,
although it’s not clear if this is a new RTM build, however,
BuildFeed has confirmed that the Redstone 4 won’t be called the
Spring Creators Update. It’s certainly unexpected to see a
newer name at this point but it could be because of the
negative feedback that Microsoft received from the Insiders
about the odd naming scheme.
As “Spring Creators Update is probably no longer a thing”
Microsoft might opt for a different name that would make more
sense and it will be announced when Windows 10 version 1803 RTM
is ready.
It goes without saying that Spring Creators Update name never
made sense as it could be the third ‘Creators Update’ for
Windows 10. Microsoft has so far released two versions of
Windows 10 with the name ‘Creators Update’ and ‘Fall Creators
Update’. Microsoft would have to change the name of Windows 10
version 1803 in some internal and public documents to avoid
confusion.
Microsoft will reveal more about the Windows 10 version 1803
next week or later this month. We’ll update the article once
Microsoft announces the name and release date of next Windows
10 update.
