AskWoody MVPMicrosoft urged Surface Book 2 owners to boot around the bluescreen and uninstall the patch. which is just what you want to tell your boss about her brand new, expensive Surface Book 2, right?
When the boss goes and buys her own laptop without asking for a recommendation from IT, you do your very best to support it, making sure to very prominently put the finger on the manufacturer with relation to any problems that that laptop has. Of course, you have to do so in such a way so as not to make it sound like you are complaining about the boss’s choice in laptops or your willingness to fully support
the piece of junkthe laptop.I would try to find the very best loaner laptop I could find for the boss, and try to ease her off of the Surface if possible.
That’s a no-win situation for any IT person.

AskWoody PlusWell, you can always go home mumbling “The Consultant’s Song” for consolation (sung to the first few bars of of ‘The Volga Boatman’):
“Yo, heave, ho,
Yo, heave, ho!
“On the one hand,
On the other hand,
We get paid either way,
We get paid either waaaay…” 🙂
…I feel your pain. I’ve been in the same spot sooooo many times in the past….

AskWoody LoungerHello, well I’m more confused than ever!
1) Susan Bradley in earlier posts tells us to never, ever, click check for updates. Now I read that that is the only way we are ever going to get Windows CU updates? Is this true?
2) I didn’t get the buggy KB 4467682 but today KB4023057 installed automatically without my knowledge but I couldn’t find it in my list of installed updates on my computer, just in the list of Windows updates. It installed in November according to my Windows update list and was in my list of installed updates on my computer, but now that KB is no longer listed anywhere on my computer. Is it possible Microsoft installed KB4023057 today which uninstalled same KB from my computer? It’s just strange it no longer is showing installed on my computer anywhere unless there is another way for me to search which I’m not aware of. I’m running Win 10 Home, 1803 on HP Spectre.
3) Should I be clicking “Check for Updates” on my Windows Update to receive needed updates going foward?

ManagerThe Patch Tuesday Security Updates come through Windows Update automatically. You do NOT have to click on “Check for updates” to get them. It is the Patch Tuesday updates that you want/need to install.
The updates that are issued between Patch Tuesdays are Non-security Updates. They are optional “Preview” updates. They do NOT come through Windows Update automatically. You have to click on “Check for updates” to get them, and sometimes (more often than not) they still don’t appear. These updates are meant for testing by IT groups before they are rolled into the next month’s Patch Tuesday updates. In general, you do not need/want to install them as they are not meant for general User consumption.
The exception to this are the emergency out-of-band batches that are meant to cover security problems, such as the two IE11 Flash Player updates released in the past month. But these will also come through Windows Update automatically.

ManagerKB4023057 is not in the MS Catalog. It is part of Microsoft’s forced update/upgrade push.
You will see KB4023057 installed in the Control Panel\Programs and Features. It can be uninstalled. But is is best to hide it with whshowhide before it gets on your machine.

Well, the ‘promised’ blog post is now public
Windows 10: Update KB4467682 breaks Custom Start menu
I guess, the withdraw of KB4467682 may be also related the custom start menu issue mentioned above, because the first version of Microsoft’s text recommends only to uninstall the patch on Surface Book 2 machines.

GuestIf you use windows 10 home and are locked down on a metered connection make sure to update defender updates directly from the catalogue and don’t “seek” the update.
Windows starting holding auto virus protection updates hostage in win7 when win10 was being foisted onto people and they seem to be using the same tactic now.

AskWoody LoungerI got a 1809 cumulative update KB4469342 that seems to have caused issues with my desktop PC’s from going to sleep. My laptop also had some wireless issues although a updated driver appears to have fixed that. Well it will if Windows doesn’t re-install the old driver. I have had problems with that recently too. I just got my Chromebook the other day to test out, so hopefully I can finally get past the Windows mess for the most part.
