People absolutely swear that running windows update does not trash your computer, but here we are. Yeah it's a preview release but it feels they don't test anything.
To be clear, you’re complaining that a Microsoft test update identified a bug and that bug was fixed prior to the update being rolled out to most users. This is literally what the test system is for.
Indeed, I did qualify my statement as such. But an example for the non testing update release: windows update pushing out bad bios firmware updates to HP computers bricking them this last week, another breaking vpns, and a security updates contributing/causing bsods.
Yeah MS has a mixed record for sure. This proves the system does work though, even if it’s not 100% effective
