tompkin Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I just got a notification on Windows Update (Windows 7) that an optional update is available. (KB2952664). From reading the article on the link I post below, this has been a problematic compatibility update related to future update to Windows 10. There is also a Windows 8 Update mentioned in the article. (KB2919355) I have chosen to delay updating. http://www.infoworld.com/article/2907059/patch-management/microsoft-reissues-kb-2952664-win7-upgrade-pack-kb-2919355-win-81-update.html count0nz 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tompkin Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I was mainly posting so others would be aware of this if they saw it in their Windows Update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tompkin Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 I got a new one today: KB2990214 - Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2990214) From what I have read online, this is the update that will start sending you messages to update to Windows 10. I wouldn't really mind so much if they do this after RTM and it's an easy way to upgrade. Why are they sending this out now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That update should not appear unless you installed the TP notification update manually. You can remove it from the installed programs control panel under "View installed updates."

You can remove it from the installed programs control panel under "View installed updates." I have my Updates set so that they are not automatically updated so I'm sure that I did manually install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo1911 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 This month's patch tuesday is 1.2 GB (Windows 8.1 + Office 2013) combined for x64. This is borderline idiotic. We have 3 PCs in the house and just 50 GB download limit for the month. We lost 3.6 GB overnight for this garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted April 15, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted April 15, 2015 <sigh> Once again, Windows Update utterly fails. It could at least give a specific reason for failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompkin Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 An "Out of Band" release today. I got a 21.9mg Windows Essentials Security Update last night. It always drives me nuts there is no info about these size of updates. May be to the engine itself or something. But here is the link to todays news: https://www.neowin.net/news/more-than-30-optional-updates-will-hit-windows-today-in-unscheduled-release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
