We saw that happen last month with a crop of Office patches that threw Visual Basic and VBA errors, and with the botched Surface 3 and Surface Pro 3 firmware patches.

Why? Every time you reboot, the patch or bad driver comes back. We have, however, seen bad patches that prove annoying, particularly when uninstalling the bad patch doesnвЂ™t get rid of the problem.

Although each of the Windows 10 forced updates have sporadic reports of installation failures and strange side effects (missing apps, frozen features, throwing various errors), we havenвЂ™t yet seen a forced update meltdown thatвЂ™s on a par with the big Windows Automatic Update meltdowns over the years. If Windows 10 is in your future, itвЂ™s the least you should expect from the worldвЂ™s largest software company. Consider it a checklist of sorts: Once Microsoft commits to addressing these concerns, youвЂ™ll know Windows 10 is finally legit. HereвЂ™s a look at what Microsoft should do to make Windows 10 more palatable to those who are still sitting on the fence. But the push to Windows 10 has taken on a new urgency from Microsoft without as much urgency in rounding out the feature set most die-hard Windows users want from Windows 10. There are plenty of good reasons to stick with Windows 7, if it works for you and you arenвЂ™t enthralled with the idea of learning a new operating system. But thereвЂ™s room for doubt among those who are holding out for something a bit better than the Windows 10 we have now. ThereвЂ™s no question Windows 10 is the future for Windows users.

Perhaps they still have to fix this oddity, but itвЂ™s funny to me that if you want to grab these updates and install them to a PC offline, WSUS Offline is still the best tool for the job.ItвЂ™s been six months since Windows 10 hit the rails, and 200 million people (or so, depending on how you count) have taken the plunge and now run the вЂњlastвЂќ version of Windows.

Better still, if you click on the link to use a new, more modern browser, Microsoft just redirects you to the Microsoft Downloads portal, where you can get everything else but the offline installer for the updates.

On a funny note, Microsoft claims to provide a link to an offline installer by saying,В вЂњTo get the stand-alone package for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website.вЂќ But this doesnвЂ™t work, you need Internet Explorer 6 or later to visit it, and MicrosoftвЂ™s IE11 browser isnвЂ™t supported.

This is a welcome change in policy, and I hope it gets applied to the updates for Windows 10 Mobile as well. In the patch notes, Microsoft tells user what these updates will fix and what issues have been identified, as well as noting what, if any, files will be changed. One of these patches contains cumulative updates for users on Windows 10 ProВ that have elected to defer upgrades, while the other is for users in the consumer channel who have been bumped up to version 1511В of Windows 10. On this monthвЂ™s Patch Tuesday, Microsoft announced the change in a blog post and posted up a change list for two updates to Windows 10.

Back in October 2015, Microsoft executive vice president of Windows and Devices, Terry Myerson, told ZDNet that the company was looking at providing change lists and patch notes to users interested in this information, but didnвЂ™t say exactly when this was going to be implemented.

MicrosoftвЂ™s reason for taking the patch notes away in the past was a mixture of вЂњend users donвЂ™t need theseвЂќ and вЂњwe only need to provide this to enterprise users anywayвЂќ, despite the fact that the company documents everything in the same way since Windows 95. Microsoft has now reneged on this decision, and will start providing patch notes and more detailed update information for users and network administrators. Having access to the changelog for updates to Windows is a very useful resource when trying to troubleshoot a system вЂ“ in my time fixing computers for businesses and enterprise users, IвЂ™ve found that updates and patches rendered by Microsoft can have a devastating effect on systems that arenвЂ™t compatible with them. To date, Microsoft hasnвЂ™t revealed much about the development of patches and updates to Windows 10, a crucial piece of information that has long been the friend of the system administrator.
