Microsoft is not fixing its mess

ISSUE 21.18.1 • 2024-05-03

By Susan Bradley

Microsoft has now made it official. It does not plan to fix the mess it made with KB5034441.

As you may recall, I was not pleased with how Microsoft handled this vulnerability. It took a sledgehammer to a problem that should have been handled with a precision tool. Instead of explaining the risks and letting business patchers make their own deployment calls, it shoved out an update that to this day is blocked on my sister’s Windows 10 PC due to the lack of sufficient space in the recovery partition.
