• Blocking Automatic Windows Updates – another reason (on Ghacks.net)

    Posted on September 2, 2018 at 04:21 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Martin Brinkmann is reporting on ghacks.net of Win10 “stable update” machines being offered “preview builds” – Insider versions!

    Microsoft’s Brandon LeBlanc confirmed that activation of the “update” button would not install the new build on Stable versions of Microsoft’s Windows operating system, and that the issue affected only a small number of devices.
    Microsoft turned off the notifications as a consequence to investigate the issue. It is rather obvious that devices that don’t run Windows 10 Insider Build should not receive notifications about new Insider versions.

    Martin goes on to say:

    The main takeaway from the incident is that mistakes happen and that Microsoft is not exempt from making them.

    I’d call that an understatement!
