Woody’s Windows Watch: Windows 10 patching improves

Posted on January 28, 2019 at 03:28 CST by woody • Comment in the Forums

Hard to believe that Win10 patching will get any better, but there’s reason for hope.

Microsoft seems to be genuinely interested in delivering more reliable Win10 patches — and willing to put money and time into improving the execrable quality of the offal that’s been shoveled in the past few years.

Will the improved patching method work? Remains to be seen – and the patchers are working against an insane release cycle.

I sure hope this is an indication Microsoft’s finally, finally figured out how to use the Insider Release Preview Ring.

Big question now is if we’re going to get hit with another half-baked cumulative update to Win10 1809, when there’s no reason at all to shovel it out this week.
