Preview updates end up in the released patches, Alex and I never recommend previews.

Thanks for this latest warning Susan. I have my win 10 22H2 locked by WUmgr and Gibsons InControl.

In spite of this I have seen popups from Microsoft CoPilot telling me to get onboard with copilot or something to that effect. How the heck did they sneek that one in.

I defer all updated until you say its OK to do so.

Many Thanks

InControl doesn’t protect against “Moments”; only major updates.  Microsoft (and InControl) don’t consider “Moments” major updates.

I encountered this situation on Windows 11 sometime ago and was chided by the sojourners here for expecting otherwise.

You will have to look to other means to protect your computer.

Changes are coming to Windows in the form of desktop backgrounds and notifications as well as prompts on the Windows lock screen. The good news is that it’s an opt-in feature. The bad news is that many of Microsoft’s planned changes all come under the now-familiar banner of “Note: This feature might not be available to all users because it will roll out gradually.” Sprinkles, indeed. As usual, it means some may get this change in the April release and not want it, but some who would like to see it may not be able to turn it on for some time yet.

Hi Susan,
Does this apply to Windows 10 Home & Pro, 22H2? Or just Windows 11?
I’m Win 10/Pro and would like to know what to look out for.

Pretty shocking security breach. Would Woody like to tell us again how brilliant Nadella is?
