While it hasalready been a busy daywhen it comes to Windows 10 Insider news, there was an extra set of words for Windows Insiders in today’sinitial 14946 blog post. Microsoft has issued server-side fixes for misconfigured Windows Insider PCs.

Simplifying the words Dona and the Windows Insider team published, the fix will help those who are not targeted correctly for receiving updates by putting them in the slow ring. However, in more technical and official terms:

Some Windows Insiders who have pre-release builds on their PCs are not targeted correctly for receiving updates because they have not opted into receiving Insider Preview builds by having selected a valid ring or are in some other misconfigured state. To re-target these PCs, we are making a server-side change that will put these PCs in the Slow ring so that they can receive updates. Specifically:

According to Dona, you can adjust these settings by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program. Will the server side fix affect you and your PC? Drop us a comment below to let us know!

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
