The 1511 (10586) update was released into the wild by Microsoft four times last month. Microsoft pulled the third version itself after a couple days. Last week, Microsoft released a fifth version of this update. I spent most of November on this problem. I could get it working for no more than a couple days, and when it crashed, it crashed hard, destroying the recovery partition, disabling the event log, and other problems I've posted. I found piece of mind only after reverting to Windows 8.1.
Microsoft is pushing us into the false promise to trust them without questioning. They keep modifying the Windows Update to apply updates automatically as they are released. If running off Azure, Microsoft applies updates without notice. I run my own WSUS server so I have some control. but it's near impossible to find any information about the updates that's needed to make a determination to accept or reject and update. Can anyone find any Microsoft notice that the 1511 update as been revised and reposted five times or that it destroys Windows 10 machines making them unrecoverable?
I follow CERT, NIST, Norton, McAfee, and Microsoft notices of computer vulnerabilities. The 1511 update wasn't mentioned at all, even though it is so prevalent and destructive. Most users don't stand a chance dealing with recovering from the 1511 update.
