Windows 10: Vice President Logic: Optional Updates nullified by Mandatory Cumulative Update

Hey Fortin,


So there are "Optional" Windows updates? So, are these still optional if the next month's cumulative update contain every update to-date?


No, they are not optional, are they?


I think your company needs a restructure - and you should be out the door - along with much of the update and insiders departments.


Also - to the admins who loved to tidy up the forums, and clear my profile of my signature... suddenly, my signature makes sense right?

Intel Readies P55 Chipset B3 Stepping Update

Intel's is readying a hardware update for its P55 Express chipset, currently the only core-logic for the company's brand new socket LGA-1156 processor platform. The new B3 stepping of the P55 PCH will bring with it a little more than new MM number and S-spec numbers. A list of changes is as follows:

• New MM number and S-spec numbers for the converted products;
• Firmware and minor BIOS updates are required with the conversion;
• Processor MRC/microcode update required to enable future processors;
• Recommended storage driver upgrade from Intel MSM 8.9 to Intel RST 9.5.

Although it is listed that the MRC update enables 'future processors', Intel, in a statement issued to X-bit labs assured that the current B2 stepping of the chipset (found on current socket LGA-1156 motherboards) does not leave out support for any of Intel's new LGA-1156 processors that are slated for release in the very near future. The dual-core "Clarkale" 32 nm processor will be supported by both B2 and B3 steppings of the chipset.

P55 B3 stepping is pin-identical to P55 B2, and hence motherboard vendors will not have to come up with new designs. Sampling of the new stepping began as early as on October 02, 2009, and it is scheduled for shipment to manufacturers by the 7th of December, 2009. P55 is the performance core-logic for the LGA-1156 platform. It supports Core i5 and Core i7 "Lynnfield" processors with discrete graphics.

Enough with the mandatory updates for **** sake.

Hi ikej96,

My name is Fernando. I am an Independent Advisor. I am here to guide you with mandatory updates.

I can thouroughly understand your frustrartion with the mandatory updates.

Much like cell phone updates, updates are intended to make your computer more secure , gives you new functionality and makes it all the more reliable.

However, you can choose to hide updates until you are ready to update.

Here are the steps you need to take to hide updates you wish.

Step 1: Click here to download Show or hide updates utility.

Step 2: Run the utility. ...

Step 3: When you see the following screen, click Hide updates to view all available Windows and driver updates.

Step 4: Select updates that you want to hide.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me any questions and let me know how it goes.

Respectfully,

Fernando Y.
