Microsoft has released a new update for its Windows 10 operating system. What do we know about it? Only its code name: KB3199209. So if you are running Windows 10 and have the Anniversary Update installed, then you can see the new update by checking for updates.
The full title of the update is: “Servicing stack update for Windows 10 Version 1607: October 18, 2016” or update for Windows 10 version 1607.
The installation does not present any problems, and does not request a restart, but it does not provide any information about what it contains.
It only states:
This update makes stability improvements for the Windows 10 Version 1607 servicing stack.
It is Microsoft's new practice of releasing updates for its operating systems before publishing support articles.
Of course this isn't a problem for users who install any update the company releases, but it's especially problematic for users and administrators who want to know what they're putting on their computers.
Of course, you can install it and hope for the best (that all programs and all features work on a computer), but the practice is completely wrong and completely amateurish.
What are the changes brought by update KB3199209? No one knows and it will remain that way until the company publishes more information on the support page.
Some have noticed that Windows Defender real-time protection is automatically enabled after installing the update, even if other protection software is running on the system.
