Microsoft demotes Windows 10 Redstone 4 build 17133 from RTM status

After delaying the release of Windows 10 Redstone 4, Microsoft has now demoted build 17133 from RTM status internally due to a last minute blocking bug..

Earlier this week, I reported that Microsoft had internally made the decision to delay the public release of Windows 10 Redstone 4, known as Version 1803, to the public due to a last minute blocking bug that was found over the weekend. At the time, I had assumed that Microsoft would be able to fix the issue via a patch, but it turns out things may not be that simple.

My sources are now suggesting that Microsoft has since demoted Windows 10 build 17133 from RTM status internally, meaning the company is now compiling new Redstone 4 builds once again in an attempt find a new build that passes the necessary criteria for public release. As a reminder, RTM stands for 'Release To Manufacturing' and is the build that goes out to partners for preloading onto new hardware, and is also the official build that gets rolled out to the world as an update.

What does this mean for you? If you're an Insider, not much. I'm told the bug isn't impactful enough to cause any real problems for Insiders on a day-to-day basis, but no source has been able to confirm to me what the bug actually is. Regardless, Microsoft will roll out another build to via the Insider Program when its ready to do so. For those that decided to upgrade to build 17133 outside of the Insider Program, you might still be in luck.
