Microsoft reflects on 20 years of Windows Patch Tuesday

Bill Gates did it, and now AI will keep patching Windows for 20 more years...
By Alfonso Maruccia, November 10
 
Microsoft is now focused on the "quality and reliability" of its security updates, Cable noted, working proactively to improve transparency and align with the EU's General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

Yup. Full focus on quality and reliability will always pay of, LOOL @Mr. Fox+++

 

Microsoft confirms Windows 10 and 11 activation issues, says it is investigating techspot.com

 

Facepalm: Microsoft is investigating a new activation issue that is affecting many Windows 10 and 11 PCs. The problem seems to have cropped up last month after the company pushed out an update to plug a loophole that allowed Windows 7,8, and 8.1 users to upgrade to Windows 10 and 11 for free. However, the update is reportedly causing issues for some people who say they used the method to legitimately move to Windows 10 or 11 from an older version of the OS.

 

According to aggrieved users, the problem affects Windows 10/11 installations that were legally activated using Windows 7/8 product keys as part of a free upgrade offer from Microsoft. However, following last month's update some of those installations are reportedly getting deactivated if any hardware component in the PC is changed or the BIOS is updated.

Microsoft is screaming for attention

In the last few days, Microsoft has drawn the ire of many Windows users several times. For example, some users temporarily had to give a reason if they wanted to close the OneDrive app on Windows. After the media attention that this brought, the company backed down and stopped the feedback dialogue again. The new Outlook's silent synchronization of access data for email accounts with the Microsoft cloud was also recently met with little approval.

Microsoft is going to offer three years of extended support security updates for Windows 10, stretching its EOL from late 2025 to late 2028.

 

No pricing yet, but they will be allowing individual consumers to buy into the program.  When they did this for Windows 7, they upped the price each year that the program was active to further nudge people to move off.

(Probably easier to just Windows 10 Enterprise IOT LTSC, which will be supported through 2031 and no extra cost for updates if you somehow manage to purchase a license.)

Yup... If they can't sell you a new license (you don't want to pay for new hardware) they will still charge you if you still clinge on your old Windows 10 machines. Great idea but this should have been for free anyway. Their "free" OS should become free also as long they will support it. And they will. My best guess... People will find ways to avoid paying the updates 🙂
