    Microsoft is rolling out important Windows 10 update changes


    Today, Microsoft is implementing measures that could improve overall Windows Update experience on Windows 10.

    Microsoft has struggled to get the way it updates Windows right and users have reported problems after every Windows 10 update. In 2019, Microsoft was criticized for forcing feature updates and the company implemented a change that gives people control over whether to install the feature updates.

    Microsoft is rolling out another change that will give users control over the drivers installed via Windows Update. Last year, a number of flawed drivers were also pushed via Windows Update and such drivers affected the installation of major feature updates.

    Starting today, Windows 10 is getting better at coping with driver compatibility clashes and hardware partners will be able to request blocks on updates if needed.

    Microsoft says driver manufacturers will be able to publish drivers more easily and it will allow Microsoft to detect issues with the drivers earlier, and address them before the update is rolled out to consumers.

    The software maker is also tweaking Windows Update settings page to include a new ‘Optional updates’ area. Windows Update will still automatically install many hardware driver updates, but the new additional updates that may not automatically be installed will appear in this Optional updates page.

    The new Optional updates experience will give you more control over the drivers that you want to install. The company says the improvement will also allow its partners to easily direct users to the right driver.

    According to Microsoft, the new experience will be rolling out to consumers later today and the changes should be live by 5 PM (GMT-8).

    Microsoft to push automatic Windows 10 upgrades in 2016

    "Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will be automatically rolled out next year to all users of its older operating systems who have selected to receive updates.

    Until now, users of Windows 7 and 8 have needed to register to upgrade to Windows 10. But that's about to change: soon the OS will be listed as an 'Optional Update' and -- from 2016 -- a 'recommended' update that will automatically install itself, if users have opted to receive updates in that way.*Shadedshun :shadedshu:

    You can opt out of automatic updates to avoid this, but Microsoftsays that "we strongly discourage this in today’s connected world because of the constant risk of internet threats". You can also change your Windows Update settings to install critical updates but not recommended ones. Although it's still going to be possible to avoid installation, Microsoft seems quite determined for everyone to be using Windows 10 in near future.


    The roll-out of reserved updates was initially staggered but, according to Microsoft, now Windows "will automatically kick off the upgrade process once you have made a reservation".

    As an intermediate stage, Microsoft says that it will "soon" publish Windows 10 as an optional update, not installed by default, but accessible to all users.
    "

    Microsoft Rolls Out the Windows 10 Anniversary Update

    Microsoft late Tuesday rolled out the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, marking 1 year in the market for the operating system, and with it, ending the Windows 10 Free Upgrade offer. The new update bears the internal version 1607, with build 14393. The update is several gigabytes in size, and effectively replaces your existing Windows 10 installation.

    The update adds new features to Windows Ink, the stylus-based live notes app; Cortana, the voice assistant, which can now be accessed right from the lock-screen, and is integrated with even more apps; and Windows Hello, the in-built biometric ID system, which has been integrated with many more third-party services, such as Dropbox; improvements to Windows Defender, the anti-malware tool; and various under-the-hood improvements that increase performance and energy-efficiency (lower battery usage).
