RS-Prerelease Build 21337 is out to Dev Channel + KB5001618 to .1010

If I remember there was a typo/bad character

in the message, so it was changed.

Don't remember if it was a build or a CU.

C.K., 

The original message was just "Working on updates" they made a typo when they came up with this silly new one, they should have left it alone and also report the % progress of the update process, no reason to get rid of it . :(

To verify the sequence of events again I restored my Dell XPS 8300 to 21337.1000 and when through the W.U. update process again to 21337.1010. I think the 1st time I missed noticing one more restart :

1. After 1st restart got this:

2. After 2nd restart got the black screen with just cursor, there for several minutes:

3. After 3rd restart got this again:

4. Finally went to login screen and came up fine.

Note that this machine went through several previous development builds.

I saw something different this time.

After the initial Restart after it does the

1st part of the Updating when it did a restart

it went into an Updating  Your System, then went

into the 2nd part of Updating.

Everything updated fine and it did this on 2

different PC's.

I got exactly the same CK. Update took a long time @ 33 mins. Nearly as long as a normal Dev update.

I've done it on 2 machines, it was quite slow and the behavior was different than CK described, the 2 updates are installed fine.

Why do they keep changing and breaking things that used to work just fine ? 

There was nothing wrong with the old messages ? 😒

In my opinion as this is not a build update, what we are seeing or not seeing would not be considered as a bug. Microsoft is testing various methods of delivering updates to Insiders.

"UPDATE 3/19: We are starting to roll out Cumulative Update Build 21337.1010 (KB5001618). This update does not include anything new and is designed to test our servicing pipeline. This DOES NOT include any fixes for the known issues listed below."

We should report what we see or do not see or like or do not like in the Feedback Hub to enable Microsoft to hear our opinions regarding the method of delivery. I have just learned to roll with it and see what develops in the future.This same this process also happened with builds  21327 & 21332.
