  Because of forced updating, the people who crash get to experience the crash over and over again.

  Not good news for Windows 10 patching.

• Microsoft rolls out first official Windows 10 patches: KB 3081424, KB 3081427

  Some people call it “Service Release 1” but Microsoft bristles at that nomenclature.

  I have no idea what a “Service Release” is, in this context. Guess we’ll find out.

  Interesting note: None of this went through the Fast or Slow ring. I was all dumped out through normal Windows Update channels – the only difference being that you can’t turn off Automatic Update on Win10 Home or Win10 Pro (unless the machine’s connected to an Update Server).
