Windows 10 October 2018: October 2018 was certainly a month to remember for Microsoft. It was one of the worst patching months in the company's history.
A click on “Check for updates” deletes your documents and photos. Try to install the Windows 7 monthly patches – if you find them – and you’ll see an error 0x8000FFFF because the updater isn’t smart enough to update itself.
Play around with the drivers and you'll see a blue screen. Then we saw a bunch of bug fixes for various versions of Windows 10.
Here we should ask ourselves why Microsoft created the Release Preview Ring in the Windows Insider program since it doesn't use it.
We are now hopefully in the "fifth week" of October (or the first week of November, depending on how you look at it), and it seems that the company is preparing for another big patch day targeting Windows operating systems and Office applications.
Does he really not think: “what will people say?”
Yesterday, for example, without announcing it, Microsoft suddenly started re-releasing the Windows 7 Monthly Rollup, KB4462923 , from its website (Microsoft Update Catalog) rather than from Windows Update. It seems that Microsoft was having trouble re-releasing a patch shortly after it was released on Patch Tuesday. No, the update was never removed from the Microsoft Update Catalog, but was re-released on November 1st.
So it seems that one month is not enough for Microsoft to fix the errors of its developers.
On October 18th, and also on October 24th (again), Microsoft released several minor bug fixes, covering versions 1607, 1703, 1709, and 1803 of Windows 10. Didn't you notice them?
The way Windows Update works right now, it probably won't notify you of these minor fixes unless you click "Check for updates" or install them manually.
Tip: Before every update, keep a good copy of your files. You may have forgotten this at some point, but Microsoft is here to remind us.
