"Optional" Windows 10 Upgrade update
Posted: 14.10.2015, 08:41
This isn't directly WSUS Offline related, but it is.
I was updating an existing Win7 SP1 machine that had been updated about 2 weeks ago. Told it to check for new updates...
And found there was a new "Optional" update that was already checked for installation. To make sure I didn't accidentally check it, I unchecked it, and told WU to check for updates again. and it got rechecked for installation.
The problem is that this is a 2.67GB Windows 10 Upgrade update - it's being pushed as an "optional" update, but it's automatically getting checked for installation - hence NOT OPTIONAL. Anyone shutting their system down that doesn't uncheck/hide this update might be in a world of hurt next time they turn on their machine.
Is this a WSUSOffline vulnerability?
