Microsoft to release massive set of 34 non-security patches Tuesday

Thanks for the heads up! Hope that it won't be another bork Tuesday

 

Oh borkers!

 

34 patches... tomorrow... most of them with no details... they're going on a test machine before they hit anything production.

 

Be so kind and share your findings then, I'm gonna to install them on Wednesday ...

 

Will do, especially if there are problems. I likely won't roll them out to the production machines for a week.

 

Thanks. Yeah, as I see here on Wilders you're not alone to wait a while Usually I install all updates on Wednesday (due to time difference) what proved to be enough to withdraw (by Microsoft) the most botched patches. Nevertheless any feedback is naturally welcome ;-)

 

Thanks for the heads up Ron!

 

Thanks for notification. Will test them up tomorrow and see how it goes. I will surely take system image beforehand.

 

Note that the majority of them are for Windows 8, so those of us still on 7 won't get nearly that many.

 

Fingers crossed for the brave ones

 

Fingers crossed and a good rollback image!

 

They're really neglecting everything to do with v7 and v8 in recent months. It seems that they are just focusing on v10 and Spartan...

 

Well, 7 is past the mainstream support phase as of a few months ago. They're supposed to only provide security patches now.

 

Makes me wonder why I am bothering with v7 at all. I know I won't go near v8... have been thinking of getting another system, so I might go back to a desktop when v10 is retail.

 

I think I will ignore windows update for a while

My experience - at home - with before XP then Seven on a single pc is that my system doesn't need the most part of the non security updates. Actually I didn't install none, and I never had issues. ( My problem with Seven security updates that I describe here: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/impossible-to-update-seven.374707/ is not due to this ).

 

I haven't done any windows updates since Nov 10, 2013 and haven't had any issues.... I just follow the safe surfing rules (W7-SP1 Pro 64 bit.)

 

5 patches are for W7 but i only got 3 patches today.

 

I've got 20 updates (only 17.5 MB all of them) on my Windows 8.1 x64. They installed quickly and I had no problems so far.

 

Same here; two machines, no issues.

 

same as above ... all fine

 

Testing on 2 Windows 8.1 machines. No immediate issues. Will post if any show up.
