Windows 10 Threshold 2: Return of the update and reasons – Clubic

This is the surprise that Microsoft withdrew last weekend 1511 Update Windows 10, otherwise known as the update name in November, or, by the nickname 2. A Threshold withdrawal surprise, enamelled unconvincing explanations and simply erroneous Microsoft.

When contacted over the weekend by our American colleagues, Microsoft explained that the withdrawal of downloading the ISO was to invite users through Windows Update, the integrated service of Windows Update. Adding that remained functional Windows Update to update a Windows 10 RTM (build 10240) to the updated version (build 10586). But then, as we told you on Sunday evening, the update had also been removed from Windows Update, without reason or explanation.

This morning, 1511 Update Windows 10 returned Windows Update accompanied by a cumulative update dedicated to him (see Microsoft removes Windows Update November 10 (upd) ). However, meanwhile, were born withdrawal suspected due to problems concerning BitLocker, the hard disk encryption function. Microsoft reiterates the reasons for the removal and BitLocker is not in question: Changing privacy settings and default file associations on some positions justify withdrawal. Microsoft says that an update as Threshold 2 shall preserve and migrate user settings and preferences, but only for a small number of people, this was not the case. If we have not seen from our side to change our privacy settings, the default PDF reader is indeed became Microsoft Edge after update.

However, this explanation does not stick . Remember, initially, Microsoft explained the cancellation of downloading ISO 1511 version of Windows 10, inviting users to download the update through Windows Update. But were concerned with the problems of changing the settings that users making an update from Windows Update … short.

Microsoft apologizes for any inconvenience and indicates that a cumulative update published in Tuesday evening corrects wanderings and other disorders of the previous update. From our side, we confirm well the return of 1511 update on Windows Update on two of our test computers that had remained in RTM version.
