Tnx for the info! The patch will arrive too late for most people. If it wasn’t done on purpose, it was a stupidity of gigantic proportions. It cost me and others huge amounts of time. Still very angry and actively looking at Mac’s. Also not perfect, but still much more reliable then this Windows-junk. Incredible.
Another argument for setting updates to Notify (apparently not possible with Home now)- so you have to approve it. I avoided one update to 1703 a while back before I was ready for it because of that.
Perhaps you are not familiar with 'Notify' - available e.g. via a tutorial and group policy and Winaero's tweaker.
Means you get a notification of a pending update via the Action Centre.
Click on that, Settings opens, showing you the pending update(s).
When you approve that, the update(s) downloads.
I had exactly that happen with Defer Feature Updates set in build 1607, and after quite some months, 1703 was offered before I wanted it. I did not accept it and extended the period for which Defer Feature Updates applied using the Group Policy Editor.
Hope with all that detail that's clearer, with a specific example of not accepting an upgrade?
Currently on 1703 with CBB set, not been offered 1709, thankfully, yet.
What i mean is that given the behavior is unexpected it may also ignore the group policy settings (gpedit ?).
I do not use any tweaker.
My system is on CBB, not offered 1709, unexpectedly?, luckily? IDK, too much confusion.
Oh, thanks for the explanation :)
Is that PC setup to use, Windows Update for Business . Doesn't that have to be setup for this to work?
