    Having nothing better to do just now, I decided to check for Windows Updates.

    Much to my surprise, I was told that KB5004476 was downloading and would be installed.

    After my machine had rebooted, I checked my Update History and found that two updates had actually been installed:

    KB5004476 (OS Builds 19041.1055, 19042.1055, and 19043.1055) Out-of-band
    (https://www.windowslatest.com/2021/06/12/windows-10-kb5004476-emergency-patch-released-to-fix-xbox-issues/)
    and
    KB4023057: Update for Windows 10 Update Service components

    The latter has been the subject of much criticism, so I uninstalled it.

    Any comments or observations?

      Now you know why I say “don’t check for updates”  🙂  Checking for updates INSTALLS updates.  My take Shared code base means interesting out of bands @ AskWoody

        Thanks very much for your message. As I wrote, “Having nothing better to do just now, I decided to check for Windows Updates.” I’m well aware that in Win10, “checking” basically equals “installing”.

        However, after a few years of updating Windows – back in spring 1986, I somehow wound up with Windows 1.0 next to DOS on my very first computer, an “IBM Compatible” – I feel pretty comfortable with my ability to overcome surprises.

        I don’t share a lot of people’s angst vis-à-vis Windows updates, but then again, I only use my computers in the comfort of my home. Furthermore, and I know this will raise eyebrows, for any “serious” work, I only use my Win 7 machines, so if Win 10 really does bomb, I’ll just reinstall it (though certainly not “happily”).

        Actually, I usually check for updates on my Win10 machine a couple of times a week, and I avidly follow this and other Win-update-related sites in an attempt to see what the devs are up to. Having said this, though, I’ve never bothered to sign up to be a Windows insider; I’m not that interested.
