What Windows 10 Users Want Changed - Filed Petition
by azdewars Tue 27 Oct 2015, 5:19 pm
What I like about Windows 10 is that it’s a free upgrade, but I’m not a fan of the required cumulative software updates. Even though Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President of Operating Systems Joe Belfiore says cumulative updates are good for users, it still seems to be causing a lot of problems. It is also troubling that users do not have control over the software upgrades that PCs receive.
When Microsoft accidentally forced Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 PCs to upgrade to Windows 10 recently, a large number of complaints surfaced. Susan Bradley, a Small Business Server and Security MVP and Microsoft Community Contributor, filed a petition on Change.org asking for more control over the updates as pointed out byWindowsITPro.com. Over 4,500 people have signed the petition so far.
“We need the ability to delay or hide damaging updates that impact the computing experience, have undesirable side effects such as blue screens of death, or reduce the functionality to attached devices. Under the current system of mandated updates, we have been adversely impacted by forced driver and firmware updates plus other patches,” says the petition. “We’ve wasted hours dealing with the unwanted side effects. As long-time Windows users, we understand the need to have quicker and more agile security updating. But this agility should not introduce additional risks to our systems. Windows 10 updates have already caused loss of system functionality, video and display issues, and other significant issues.”
Why did Bradley file the petition? Right before going on a trip, she turned off the Windows 10 updating service on her Surface 3 that she was taking with her. Bradley turned off the updating service because she knew that her device would be offered software updates while on the trip. The updates would consume her mobile data allowance and she was concerned an update could crash the Surface 3. Recently Bradley had to deal with a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) issue on her Surface 3, which was fixed after the updating system installed an Intel video driver.
Consumers have become accustomed to free software updates and Microsoft seems to be feeling some pressure. However, Microsoft’s corporative vice president for the Operating Systems Group Joe Belfiore — who is now on a sabbatical (more details on that below) — said that the results of the cumulative updates have been good for consumers. “We’ve involved a lot of companies and real-world IT management organizations in talking through the implications… and our feeling talking with them is that the net result that you get is better,” said Belfiore viaPCWorld. “We’ve seen lots of examples of situations where end users experienced lower reliability or unpredictable system performance because of a relatively untested combination of updates. So our net intent is to improve the quality overall, for everybody. And we believe that this method will deliver that.”
An advantage of offering cumulative updates is that Microsoft is able to test software based on what it is being installed on right away instead of having to deal with many different versions of Windows with various capabilities. And developers will have less fragmentation to deal with while building applications. Eventually Microsoft will launch a service called Windows Update for Business, which will let IT administrators support deployment rings to test out rollouts of a new update. That service is expected to arrive next year. And Microsoft is going to roll out Long-Term Service Branches to enable IT managers to restrict specific devices from receiving security updates after Windows 10 is installed.
Microsoft Pulled Windows 10 Preview Update KB 3105208
Microsoft recently had to pull an update because it was causing Blue Screen of Deaths (BSoDs) and caused some PCs to crash. Microsoft acknowledged Windows 10 Insider Preview build 10565 was the culprit.
“It’s affecting Secure Boot enabled devices running the preview build. So others will be affected too, likely including Book,” wrote Windows Insider head Gabriel Aul in a tweet. “KB was throttled to zero last night (no longer automatic) and now fully pulled.”
Users that already received the update can disable Secure Boot to prevent PCs from crashing. Or using a System Restore could also work. This update was only available on Windows Insider PCs, not the public.
