• Updates of questionable value

    Posted on April 30, 2016 at 06:31 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Periodically I publish lists from folks who have different ideas about what constitutes a good patch, as opposed to a useless or even harmful patch.

    I’d like to kick off the latest round with a comment posted by Bob(maybe)OrNot. If you have a list to contribute, please chime in the comments:

    We should have a list somewhere of various updates we are questioning or avoiding. Also a list of known good updates for each month (and/or the last 2 months before that).

    “Junk” (have no benefit to the user, aka telemetry)
    “Win10 prep related updates”
    “Thought to cause some people trouble”
    “Microsoft released this update, but they don’t know what it does yet (no KB article)”
    etc…

    My junk/10 list:
    KB3035583
    KB3123862
    KB3022345
    KB3068708
    KB3080149
    KB3075249
    KB3090045
    KB3139929 (did the next month’s update include KB3146449?)

    8.1 only:
    KB2976978
    KB3072318

    7 only:
    KB2952664
    KB3021917
    KB2977759
    KB3081954
