If you’re an active member of Windows Insider Program, you might be already aware about ‘Skip Ahead‘ term. Actually Skip Ahead is that channel through which Microsoft releases preview builds for next version of current development version. For example, at the moment, if current development branch is RS4 whose final release is V1803, the Skip Ahead branch will be RS5, which would finally release V1809.

Your Windows Insider Program content settings have been reverted. We did this because you selected Skip Ahead, but Skip Ahead is now closed. You’ll continue to receive updates as usual.
