If you’re a Windows Insider, be careful not to install any new builds today: An internal mishap at Microsoft has triggered an errant release.

Dona Sarkar has addressed this issue on Twitter:

Windows Insiders: pls do not install any builds being offered til you hear from us with a blog post. If you have installed, reset with WDRT [Windows Device Recovery Tool].

It’s not clear what happened yet, but it appears that Windows Insiders with Windows phones were offered an internal build of the system that is not actually designed for phone. This build was pushed to all Windows Insider rings—Fast, Slow, and Release Preview—and apparently even went out to the production channel as well.

The enthusiast community reacted with the usual grace.

Holy fuck the boot loop build is being pushed to PRODUCTION on Mobile too. NORMAL PEOPLE are receiving this broken build.

Zack, Zack. Normal people don’t use Windows phones. Come on.

Or, as Rafael noted:

LIVE at Microsoft

The bigger issue, of course, is that build 16203 went out to some PCs as well. And that is not OK. Normal people do use PCs.

Just kidding. But you get the idea: Be careful.
