ManagerDecember 26, 2019 at 12:36 pm #2036736no new preview rollups for Win7 & 8.1 either – we’ll have to check on TH 12/26 after Xmas if MS will release them or not
That would seem extremely unlikely…
We aren’t expecting C or D week patches next month either, as Microsoft announced earlier this month:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/windows-message-center#366
Timing of Windows 10 optional update releases (November/December 2019)
There will be no more optional “C” or “D” releases for the balance of this calendar year. Note There will be a December Security Update Tuesday release, as usual.
