This month has been a nightmare for WSUS admins!!! I have about 1000 endpoints running Win 7 and Win 10. First the Meltdown/Spectre debacle and now this. I’ve had to rollback, reinstate several of the same KBs!!
Hasn’t been this bad since well, 10 years ago!!
I have reversed to allow Win 10 updates since last fall.
You can stop them by setting your Internet connection to “metered”. Windows assumes you are paying for your Internet access in rates per minute/hour and knowing the update can take a while stops and asks if it can go ahead. You just also say no and no more updates.
I didn’t after an update last fall messed up programs that had worked fine before that update. Then I found the “metered” trick and cut the updates off. That was after I backed out that last update.
I go on the theory that if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
I’ve always been frustrated that, no matter what I do, my two Windows 10 devices (phone and Surface) will not sync. Finally I contacted Windows support who suggested resetting Edge on the Surface. “We’ve saved your favorites”, they said. Fine. After the reset I lost probably 90% of my favorites, including all but seven of the over 90 favorites for one project. And the two devices still won’t sync anything to do with Edge.
I should add the favorites on both devices were destroyed. So it did sync once just long enough to ruin everything.
Microsoft is giving up on Windows 10 and will update all the Apple OS.
