Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |
.Patch lady here – for those of you that are IT professionals, consultants or business patchers, I have put together a survey regarding Windows patchin

Susan Bradley Patch Lady/Prudent patcher
I’m so happy to be out of software management – only have a handful of users, I sometimes help – but if you don’t mind, I’ll take the survey pretending still to be responsible for +250 users…
My goal is to ensure this feedback gets to Microsoft.
Which is a very noble gesture, but… if Microsoft had any interest, they for sure need looking no further than AskWoody to get a whiff of how their work is being received…
The little snarky voice I have in the back of my head: “Okay, she’s drunk!” 
Thanks Susan, as a home user I will look forward to the survey.
Don't take yourself so seriously, no one else does

Shouldn’t their way-over-the-limits-telemetry have already done this?
I’ve already done what I could to escape the nightmare called Micro$oft: I’m using Linux for 10 years now.
Either way, good luck and I thank you, sincerely wishing your efforts get somewhere.
Done here as well. While I applaud your excellent efforts in bringing M$’s attention to their fairly “shoddy shove it out the Door ready or not” attitude of late, come to think of it for a good few years now, I am afraid I must share the contributers scepticism as to M$’s willingness to embrace change.
Sure you may get a reply and it may be one of the stock phrases generally “we’ll take this on board” or “we’ll look in to it” and or some rambling diatribe involving eco system, customer satisfaction, “its not what our users have said they want”, and i’ll bet you “$5 gets you $20”, they mention AI and the 1803 release.
Kudos for your efforts though, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
After your surveys are completed, I’d be interested in knowing what the results are… and maybe some comparison between what the IT pros experience vs home user. Is there an actual patching sweet spot, where all goes well? This home user wants to know!

Would also like to see those results.
