OK, even though I am confident Bit Locker is NOT turned on, I think I shall pass on this update – UNLESS you think there is something in this update for Win 10 22h2 that is critical not to miss now rather than waiting on an improved August update.

BitLocker is turned off on my Win10 Pro 22/H2, but I set the machine up with a local account so have no idea if I even have a relevant MS account, nor where to find it if needed. I’m also minded to skip this month’s update.

KB4023057 is still listed as ‘avoid’ in Master Patch List. Please can we have a definitive answer whether we should, could or should not install, and MPL revised if necessary.

Ta much

Thanks Paul, that was the only reason I could think of. It happened on the desktop and now on the laptop as well, so it must be a result of May update.

Installed May update KB5026361 this morning, now on W10 Pro 22H2 build 19045.2965 with no apparent issues.

However I was previously hiding (via WUMT) KBs 5012170, 5005463 and 4023057 and only the last one now registers as hidden. There is no evidence of the first two having been installed or awaiting installation – any ideas why they’ve disappeared?

Nothing here either. Lord of the Rings – one Ring to rule them all. Maybe master password not unique?

Just had response from Bitdefender

“thanks for asking about this. The information is regarding the Free version for Windows, meaning that the free version for android will not be affected”

So that’s my current understanding, though for how long, who knows 🤔

Updated this morning from 21H1 Pro to 21H2 Pro. No drama, very quick.

KB4023057 resurfaced and is again hidden.

I’ve had the email as well, and checked the provenance with Bitdefender before I took it seriously.

Since moving to W10, I’ve relied on Defender and Malwarebytes to keep the baddies at bay. But I rely on Bitdefender Free on family android phones.

So, in addition to desktops and laptops, I’d like to ask forum members what they use for mobile devices, especially if they’re faced with same decision regarding Bitdefender.

UPDATE :  @bitdefender twitter feed suggests it might be just Windows free version that is being discontinued. Have asked for further clarification – watch this space!

Susan,

So far, I have always hidden KB4023057 and it is not installed on my 21H1 system

Now, according to your master patch lists, you are recommending to install KB4023057  in September updates, whilst it is still included in the list of updates to avoid/defer.

Which is correct please, and why?

I did read the article. I was just reporting back and awaiting an engine update. As I said, I have no problem with disk space but others might not take the time to read ghacks and may need to know if they can delete 🙂

I’m seeing 1500 files totaling  11Mb

Engine Version: 1.1.18100.5

Should I delete the files in the folder or await an engine update (I’m not short of disk space)
