- Windows 10 pcs are secretly installed
- KB5001716 Under-The-Ruder arrival may confuse some people
- This patch is deployed in versions of Windows that are going to run out of support, and it will wrestle to make you a step to keep your PC safe.
Windows 10 PC is getting an update that is secretly pipe them, and some people may get confused what it is.
The good news is that it is nothing to worry about – although the update is a bit asymmetry, and it does the end of Herald Windows 10 (why I will come back).
Nevin saw The advent of the patch labeled the KB5001716, and saw that it is an upgrade that Microsoft puts a new feature update ahead of ‘force-installing’.
For KB5001716 it is being pushed into some dramatically windows versions dramatically, which are going to run out of support – so users will really need to upgrade soon, or they will be left without security updates (and potentially open to weaknesses that can be exploited as the result).
Therefore technically, comment about a forced installation is true, but only because the upgrade host is an essential step to ensure the safety of the PC.
What’s here Microsoft tells us About this patch: “After installing this update, Windows can periodically display you information about problems that can be prevented from keeping your device up-to-date and preserving against the current hazards. For example, you can see a notification that is informing you that your device is running a version of the current Windows which is going on a version of the current life Is.”
In this case, the update is being quietly installed on the PC running the latest version of Windows 10, which is 22H2, as well as 21h2 – the latter is already out of support, pay attention to you. (As Windows 11 is 21 H2, which also lists Microsoft as this patch, rather strangely).
Analysis: Start of End
What exactly represents Microsoft is preparing the ground for the end of Windows 10, which occurs in October this year. With this patch, all Windows are now being installed on 10 pcs, as stated, those machines will be warned of periodic information that the operating system is going to run out of support (and security updates).
Microsoft is a federation on those nudges (which will undoubtedly mention to upgrade in Windows 11), however. The company notes that they will respect “full screen, games, cool time and focus asist mode” which means they will not infiltrate excessively. And hope that they will not be there Very Regular, either.
Therefore, if you are worried about the presence of this update, there is no need for fret. This is not a great thing, although it is said, it is in some cases, in terms of fuse, effectively being burnt for the final vomiting count with Windows 10.
There are only three months left to go before the end of the old OS’s life, and therefore there is some insistence to work. If you cannot upgrade Windows 11 due to lack of system requirements, you need to think about the option (or get an additional year of support).
I think it would really help if Microsoft was clear about this update what this update is. In fact, the KB5001716 is rolled out to PCS every time when a support time frame for a version of Windows is adjacent. Indeed, in the past, we have seen the report of failing to install this patch as it is already on the system.
Strictly, this should not happen – due to the patch, only the versions of the windows are pushed which are at the door of death, as mentioned – but if it does it somehow, the solution is simple. Uninstall the current copy of KB5001716 in Windows updates, and the new one should then successfully patch. Otherwise, it will repeatedly fail, which will undoubtedly become tedious quite rapidly.
Overall, it is a somewhat strange approach to Microsoft for managing the dying Windows versions. It is not surprising that the KB5001716 can create some illusion, in terms of secret, and repeatedly (years), the company bills as the establishment of the update to this ‘updates’.
