I’ve always detested Microsoft’s “optional, non-security, C/D Week” patches because they’re confusing, easy to install accidentally, rarely solve any pressing problems, and potentially introduce yet more bugs.
Guess what? They’re back.
In a twist, they’re only being offered via Windows Update (or for manual download). That means organizations using update servers need to jump through several hoops to get them distributed. Few will bother. That’s OK. These C/D Week patches aren’t meant for stable corporate machines. They’re for enthusiasts and seekers, as well as unsuspecting normal users who get sucked in as beta testers.
