Brink · Mar 29, 2016

We want to let you know about an important change coming to the release schedule for Office updates so that you can plan accordingly. Until now, both security and non-security updates have been released on the second Tuesday of each month. Starting in April, the non-security updates will be released in Microsoft Update and the Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) on the first Tuesday of the month, which is April 5 in this case. This will include all updates that have the Critical or Definition classification. Updates with the Security classification will continue to release on second Tuesday as usual.

Hello,

My point of concern is most of the time Windows Update gets stuck at some point, after performing multiple clean-up & restart Windows Update starts from the scratch which is very annoying. It not just waste our internet data but time also.

Another Issue is related to Office 365 & 2016. I use Word, PowerPoint, Excel & Outlook ONLY. But Office setup doesn't have customization option & it installs all the features like OneNote, Skype, One/Skydrive, Lynch, etc. which is nothing but waste of disk
space, internet data in form of updates.

So I tried Office 2013, but its
Office 2013 Service Pack 1 (KB 2850036) – Released February 25, 2014
so to update this I have to go through this long list

Windows 10 Security Updates taking over an hour to install - on a relatively new computer on which I have religiously installed the previous updates without any problem.

Some updates are larger / more complicated than others?

Setup your allowed time more to your liking?
