Just some general observations regarding Windows 10 and Windows 11:
I love the clear and concise consumer recommendations:
There are so many current active versions of Win in play now that this helps tremendously.
Custom Build - Intel i5 9400 5 Core CPU & ASUS TUF Z390 Plus Motherboard
Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 22H2
OS build 19045.2965
I’m beginning to think you’re going to need separate DEFCON ratings for W10 and W11. Until now, fixes and problems have broadly affected both the same, but with this dribbling out of enhancements (or at least what MS thinks are enhancements) what is good for W10 may not be good for W11.
Personally, I’ll be inclined to regard this as MS making W11 permanently unstable.
Once the updates have been classified DEFCON-4, they remain DEFCON-4. You can install them any time afterward. October updates have been/are approved for install.
The DEFCON-2 rating applies to any updates issued AFTER that date, i.e., the November updates.
So the Oct. updates that Susan has blessed are still good to go NOW.
