Thanks for pointing it out didn't notice it. I have been confused by
the presence of the build named 'Windows' that I see even on my tree. I
 always see a green check mark near it which tricked me into believing
that they were running successfully. I didn't know they were being
skipped all these days!

May be the Windows build exit with failure on other repos rather than saying it passes?
