INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
It always a good idea to pause Windows updates just before they hit the rollout chute
This month, we&re facing two extraordinary issues that you need to take into account
Wouldn''t hurt if you told your friends and family, too.Take last month Windows patches
We had one patch, KB 4524244, that slid out on Patch Tuesday, clobbered an unknown number of machines (HP PCs with Ryzen processors got hit
hard), then remained in &automatic download& status until it was finally pulled on Friday
We had another patch, KB 4532693, that gobbled desktop icons and moved files while performing a nifty trick with temporary user profiles
Microsoft never did fix that one.
