Same Microsoft Update being installed twice?
Any ideas why this would happen?
There are times where an update is broken, and M$ re-releases it with the same KB to fix the issue, while rare, it does happen... Below are typical scenarios...
1: Broken update is released, not horribly broken, but enough to cause issues. Microsoft leaves it, and re-releases the same update with a few tweaks, everyone downloads and installs the latest version.
2: Broken update is released, horribly broken and causing issues. Microsoft pulls the update immediately and re-releases the same update later after other updates are deployed, in hopes of fixing the issues.
3: Broken update is released, horribly broken, and is on too much of the customer base to pull the update. Microsoft starts working on one or more updates to fix this update.
There are a few updates that fall into that #2 category... Remember my GPU errors where I had to always reload the driver at bootup to play ANY game? Yeup, it was a broken update that Microsoft deployed 4 different times!
BTW I forgot to mention, I did install Windows 10 as a VM on solaris and it works fine.
I'm using it as a "Honey pot" for the telephone scammers who try to convince you that your computer is sending out messages (by showing you the telemetry) and want you to give them access so they can "FIX" it.
I can then throw the current away and revert to the snapshot prior to their access. hehe
They use a non-logging proxy server so you can't trace back to them.
I'm currently working on a "payload" I can deliver to their server so LE can identify them.
Just doing my part to make the internet safer for all of us.
My best to you all,
Don :)
