Murphy's law, #WindowsUpdate special edition: I was on the train to Nürnberg, with 20 minutes left before arrival. Windows asked for a reboot, estimating that it will take 3 minutes. 20 minutes later I still had this screen, when I was trying to get off from the train... For the rest I'll stick to using @opensuse , especially that I came here for the #openSUSE #conference
#Microsoft to remove legacy drivers from #WindowsUpdate for security boost
Erst 12 Prozent umgestellt: Berliner Verwaltung kämpft erneut mit #WindowsUpdate | heise online https://www.heise.de/news/Erst-12-Prozent-umgestellt-Berliner-Verwaltung-kaempft-erneut-mit-Windows-Update-10452104.html #Windows #Windows10 #Windows11 #EndOfLife #EoL
#Windowsupdate war auch wieder super. Der Key ging verloren, damit auch die Aktivierung. Und die Bluetoothgeräte waren auch alle weg, Uhr verstellt.
So muss das, #Microsoft #Windows
(Gut das ich immer'n paar Ersatzkeys 'rumliegen habe, weil die Gebrauchtlizenzen praktisch nix kosten - wenigstens das)
Something I just learned: You know those alerts in the system tray that show up from #WindowsUpdate? Those appear to run MoNotificationUX.exe on Windows 11, and I believe it's MusNotifyIcon.exe on Windows 10, and to determine what notification alert to show in the system tray, that's determined by the command line that's passed to the executable when it runs. For example I have this one: "Your device is missing important updates.
Select this icon for more info." So the command line for that is: C:\WINDOWS\uus\packages\preview\AMD64\MoNotificationUx.exe /NotificationType Download_Blocked_Important /FormFactor Passive /CV YerSunSxvEKR25KB.1.0.0. So from this, we can tell that it's an important alert, which does match because the icon says that I am missing important updates, and also that a download was blocked, which is correct due to my settings. If I right click that icon, it does provide an option to download now. It's just interesting how that seems to match, and it makes me wonder what will happen if I just wait it out.

Updates sooo smooth?! Mit einem neuen Ansatz sollen nicht nur das #Betriebssystem selbst, sondern auch alle Anwendungen, einschließlich der von Drittanbietern, regelmäßig aktualisiert werden.

#Security fixes and other updates will be “orchestrated” by Redmond’s own #update tool.
#WindowsUpdate keeps #Windows updated (well, duh). It can also update some “other #Microsoft products,” if you let it. Soon, it’ll be able to do the same for other companies’ apps.
But WHY must #Microsoft misuse the concept of #orchestration to describe it? Messy musical metaphors aside, this seems like a good idea. In #SBBlogwatch, we wave a baton.

I updated both my Win 10 PCs (again). This update seems to turn on location so check if that happened to you, its a small round dot in the systray. Even though I use VPN the PC would still collect location based data unless it is actively turned it off.
Windows Update might begin handling updates for third-party apps soon. Microsoft is inviting developers to join a private preview for a unified app update system that would handle OS, driver, and some app updates in one place. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windows-itpro-blog/introducing-a-unified-future-for-app-updates-on-windows/4416354 #WindowsUpdate #AppUpdates #Windows #Microsoft
#Microsoft entwickelt #WindowsUpdate zur zentralen Plattform für alle Software-Aktualisierungen weiter. Künftig werden System-, Treiber- und App-Updates über einen einheitlichen Mechanismus verteilt. #Windows https://winfuture.de/news,151236.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
@DeltaWye @kfh I'd say @torproject / #TorBrowser as it's #Firefox but without #tracking, #adware and #analytics!
But if you're using #Govware like #Windows, any #Browser that doesn't use the #backdoored #CryptoAPI (i.e. all #Chromium-Forks do use it!) is better...
And I was able to confirm that hypothesis just now, and roll back my system via #Timeshift in mere minutes! How cool is that!
Having a reliable system on which I can execute my trained #workflow is so very important; otherwise I could hardly deliver any new work! In our office, #Microsoft is now constantly breaking the habits of my colleagues with its shitty #WindowsUpdate processes on #Windows10 and #Windows11.
Nach dem Update ist vor dem Hotfix
