Tired Of Hassle Using Windows Update Catalogue
OK, On most of my machines Windows Updates work well but on rare occasions when they don't I have to resort to the Microsoft Update Catalogue.
As the months go by each update in the catalogue gets more and more options and the user has to select the file relevant to their machine be it on 20H2,21H1 or 21H2, 32 bit or 64 bit ARM or whatever.
When I click on the download button i am greeted with either this is not a secure download message or in some cases with Microsoft Edge told bluntly I could not have the file as it was unsafe to do so ! In the end I used Firefox and ignored three warning messages to download the file.
Microsoft makes a point and in fact encourages people to use the Catalogue to download files. With an alleged reported usage of over one and a half billion users of Windows 10 or 11 worldwide there will be several hundred million using the Catalogue. So with this being the case why can't Microsoft make it easier to use. They own Microsoft Edge and control the Catalogue so it can't be beyond their intelligence to make it easier to use. Am i missing something hear , doing something wrong. Why won't clicking on download get the file downloaded ?
If I lived near a Microsoft Office. assuming I got past security I would ask them bluntly how do I download a file from their ******* catalogue !
Any suggestions on what other users do would be welcome.
