Great news imho. And don't forget to read the source:

Also from October 2016 onwards, Windows will release a single Security-only update. This update collects all of the security patches for that month into a single update. Unlike the Monthly Rollup, the Security-only update will only include new security patches that are released for that month.

Tired eyes... Well, I guess that is what we'll use, then.

Bad news, you'll never know what additional/unwanted content will be in the packages and also makes error debugging after patchday much harder.

I'd like to disagree, MS will provide a list of included KBs in every rollup:
We are planning to add these previously shipped patches over the next year and will document each addition so IT admins know which KBs have been included each month.


And i think debugging will be much easier with only a few updates to install than with hundreds of them.

Here's the source, just for reference: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/win ... ndows-8-1/

I personally don't think, it will be easier. If one partial patch is incompatible with my computer, do I have to stay unprotected against other vulns now?!?

This is not only bad news, IMHO this is terrible news. This is the important line "Individual patches will no longer be available". So you have an all or nothing position starting in October 2016. if there is even on thing we don't like then we are stuck. And then in November it will include all of October (with the one hypothetical item we don't like still) and therefore cannot install Novembers roll-up either. So the first month there is something we don't like is the last month we can install updates unless someone figures out how to remove the things we don't like.


This is being done on purpose by MS to remove one of the biggest reasons people are not upgrading. Right now with Win 7 (or 8.1) we can select which updates we want to install and which we don't. With this we get the option to not install the Telemetry updates (if we want). Now we will have no choice. Putting you in the position of either dealing with the crap updates you don't want or getting no more updates at all.

This is very bad!
