• Is yesterday’s .NET Preview, KB 4481031, being pushed onto 1809 machines?

    Posted on January 23, 2019 at 10:17 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    Microsoft’s documentation says that yesterday’s “January 22, 2019 — KB4481031 Preview of Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7.2 for Windows 10, version 1809 and Windows Server 2019” is being pushed out the Automatic Update chute.

    That’s weird. .NET Previews aren’t supposed to be pushed onto machines. But this is what the KB article says:

    To download and install this update, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and select Check for updates.

    This update will be downloaded and installed automatically from Windows Update. To get the standalone package for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website.

    which is a strange mixture of a Seeker Sting and a Forced Update.

    I checked my 1809 honeypot machine (0 day “quality update” deferral) and it hasn’t been installed.

    My guess is that the documentation’s wrong. Anybody seeing anything different?

    Thanks @b

    UPDATE: The documentation was bad. Microsoft has since changed the KB article to say “January 22, 2019 — KB4481031 Cumulative update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7.2 for Windows 10, version 1809 and Windows Server 2019” — no mention of Preview.
