AskWoody LoungerOctober 15, 2019 at 2:15 pm #1982206At the rate Microsoft has been releasing patches the past few months businesses may have to create a new position in their I.T. department dedicated to managing Windows Updates.
There are a slew of new patches coming out not only every week but sometimes within days of a prior release.
I was off last week and before doing so I approved many of the September updates. When I returned yesterday nearly all the September updates were already expired and around 80 new patches issued.
I would guess if there was a chart showing all windows updates released each year it would show a massive curve upwards over the last couple of years with this year topping them all by a huge margin. Houston we have a problem…..uh Houston?….do you read me!? (crickets chirping)

AskWoody PlusOctober 15, 2019 at 2:58 pm #1982219Under KB4520062 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4520062/windows-10-update-kb4520062:
“Starting with update KB4497934, we are introducing functionality that allows you to decide when to install a feature update. You control when you get a feature update while simultaneously keeping your devices up to date. Feature updates that are available for eligible devices will appear in a separate module on the Windows Update page (Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update). If you would like to get an available update right away, select Download and install now. To find out more about this feature, please go to this blog.”

Nothing new there. It’s been like that for five months since that update introduced the “Download and install now” option for feature updates.

ManagerOctober 15, 2019 at 2:58 pm #1982220Mary Jo Foley reports that MS is going to get more… obnoxious… in its upgrade nags to Win7 customers.
Except that she didn’t say “more…” or “obnoxious…”, because it’s neither. Just the same courtesy being extended to the next class of users.
I don’t see anything specific about the form the new nags will take –
Exactly the same that Home users have seen (probably once) during the last six months:

ManagerOctober 15, 2019 at 4:20 pm #1982289So MS hasn’t been showing the KB 4493132 nag screen on Pro machines?
I didn’t realize that. When Lawrence Abrams wrote his detailed account of the inner workings, back in March, he didn’t mention that it was Home only.
Any idea if it’ll be the same nag screen – with the “Do not remind me again” checkbox?

I didn’t realize that.
@abbodi86 now notes that the nagware payload won’t be offered to Professional, Enterprise and Embedded editions of Win7.

AskWoody LoungerOctober 16, 2019 at 5:03 am #1982830Woddy, I’ve updated my ancient post regarding KB4493132 metadata changes (basically, how the nagging screen look has been slightly changing), with additional information posted by abbodi86 and wsntls. Nothing new, really – just for the sake of consistency. 😉

ManagerOctober 16, 2019 at 6:02 am #1982845I didn’t know that! Excellent synopsis.
Is blocking KB 4493132 sufficient to keep the nag off, even now?
I guess MS has taken off, or will be taking off, the block on Pro. (Thx, @b)
There was a lot of confusion back in March about which machines got the patch:
I haven’t figured out why some machines don’t get the KB offered, why some see it as Optional/Unchecked, and while others see it Important/Checked.
Has anybody found a pattern?

AskWoody_MVPOctober 15, 2019 at 3:03 pm #1982224note that there are no new optional non-security updates for 1507 and the newly EOL’ed 1703 release this October so far [the KB4520010 update is the very last update for 1703 enterprise/education editions].
1903 users will usually get their optional non-security fix towards the end of the month (maybe between the 4th Tue 10/22 and the 5th Tue 10/29, there are five Tuesdays this October)

AskWoody_MVPOctober 15, 2019 at 7:30 pm #1982394Yes, i would not be surprised if that happen
they never acknowledged or announced the Appraiser addition to security-only patch (twice)
maybe the third time they will 😀
@PKCano
no, i actually ment security-only updates 🙂
the rollup update already have the Appraiser for a year now, and they annouced it back thenwith this fancy echosystem explanation they some up with, i’m just expecting them to apply it to security-only updates too

ManagerOctober 15, 2019 at 9:03 pm #1982570Will the “Do not remind me again” checkbox work? My guess is that MS will come up with some mealy-mouthed way to override it, probably by altering the notification at some point….
Did MS actually employ a mealy-mouthed bypass since you made this guess six months ago?
