Hi, as I was dealing with the DNS issue, thanks to NetDef for providing feedback on their experiences with successfully updating 2016 & love / agree with the commentary, and doing my research before applying patches early (normally wait till the very end of the month), I came across the below:
IMPORTANT Windows 10, version 1607 has reached the end of mainstream support and is now in extended support. Starting in July 2020, there will no longer be optional, non-security releases (known as “C” releases) for this operating system. Operating systems in extended support have only cumulative monthly security updates (known as the “B” or Update Tuesday release). https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4565511/windows-10-update-kb4565511
Hopefully my interpretation is that I’ll no longer have to go through two sets of updates (or more) at the end of the month (yes I realize that is my choice, somewhat, don’t use WSUS, small org., and prefer to have a clean slate before next months updates come along).
Thought I pass the good news along.
Take care,
P.S. No issues on installing July’s patches on the DNS server.
