If you are not using Outlook, or the bugs do not restrict what you need to do, you can afford to wait a few days.

AskWoody_MVPJuly 31, 2017 at 6:44 am #127264Noting the release notes from that pulled update…
It’s nice that Microsoft is fixing their bugs and all, but should stuff like NTFS file corruption due to Data Deduplication or failures to connect to encrypted drives at bootup have ever made it to user systems in the first place?
It really feels like Microsoft thinks running Windows is all about, well, running Windows, not about doing what people need to do with their systems nor protecting their data. An operating system is not an application, and no one makes any progress if all they’re doing is spinning their wheels on Microsoft’s incessant series of builds and patches.
What if Microsoft released Windows 10 on the Current Branch and found that everyone had switched on the “Current Branch for Business” setting (whatever it’s called this week)?
Lifelong computer geek here… I used to be an enthusiastic pre-release tester. Then I descended from that to testing and tweaking the latest CB released code. Now I’m considering waiting until CBB before even trying out the next new version. Frankly I’m getting Windows 10 update fatigue big time. Why is this just not exciting any more?
I’ve never felt Win 10 has gotten good enough – even the CBB releases – to run my actual hardware nor have they released any “must have” features yet, in my view. I’m only running it in a virtual machine, while Win 8.1 and 7 are still my preferred choices for my hardware systems.
Sigh.

AskWoody LoungerJuly 31, 2017 at 7:35 am #127271I honestly don’t know how business/enterprise actually runs 10 or even considers running it.
Since we have more Macs than we do 10 machines in our domain, we haven’t added any of the ADMX files to our DC’s. In an effort to catch up, I was about to do so this morning…until I realized they’ve released ADMX files for each version of 10 up until this point. I had an ADMX installer for 1511, and then found out there are newer ones for 1607 and 1703.
Why? Why is this necessary? Let me take a swing here and say “because they move things around”, for no reason other than to keep everyone guessing where they’re going to jump next.
This is absurd. They may as well just change the nomenclature and say each update of 10 is a dot update. 10.1, 10.2 now we’re at, what, 10.3 and the FCU is 10.4. At least then, it would make slightly more sense.

ManagerJuly 31, 2017 at 8:40 am #127278Even more damning when you realize that MS declared 1703 “Current Branch for Business” (or its equivalent) BEFORE releasing these patches.
This is really getting crazy.

AskWoody LoungerJuly 31, 2017 at 8:44 am #127280Looks like Microsoft is relying far too much on the infinite monkey theorem. Firstly to produce their patches and secondly, rather than following a reliable QA process involving regression testing, they’re using the whole world to see if those patches work. Come on Microsoft, replace your leadership with AI–it has got to be better than what you have now!
Given an infinite length of time, a chimpanzee punching at random on a typewriter would almost surely type out all of Shakespeare’s plays. So why would that not work to produce a working patch? Hint–they are much too slow!

AskWoody LoungerAugust 1, 2017 at 8:13 pm #127558I’m sitting on 1511, all fat and sassy. Don’t care about security. Don’t are about the latest features. Don’t care about MS. All I need is a computer and OS that can run the programs that I want. Thank Bill Gates for WUSHOWHIDE.
P.S. I do worry that big bad MS will sabotage my system and leave me stranded. It’s not paranoia if they really are all out to get you.
