what Microsoft regularly releases updates for its programs is rather a good thing. But when a security update is no longer really, it’s a problem. This is what seems to be the case of a small patch just released by the publisher, which is installed automatically by Windows Update.

As part of Patch Tuesday (a cumulative update pushed by Microsoft on the second Tuesday of each month), Microsoft fixed several security issues and Internet Explorer browser performance 11. But it also contains the update 3146449. Its title: “capacities updated Internet Explorer 11 to update Windows 8.1 and Windows 7″. The detailed description particularly refers to the addition of some computers of a function browser which provides information on Windows 10 or starts an update to Windows 10 “.

According to a source InfoWorld, he This would be a blue banner that appears when you create a new tab and displays “Microsoft recommends upgrading to Windows 10″. This concerns only the PC individuals and not the machines part of a corporate network.

Microsoft persists and signs

This is not the first time Microsoft made the forcing to encourage users to upgrade to Windows 10. it started in April 2015 with a so-called “update” that actually installed the program “Get Windows 10″ to register to use the free passage the new version of the operating system. In addition, this program proved rather difficult to disable. Subsequently, the upgrade to Windows 10 has moved from optional to recommended, which could trigger an automatic installation.

In short, Microsoft is desperate to users of Windows 7 and Windows 8, go to Windows 10, even force their hand using unsavory means
