What in the world is going on with Windows Update?
-
I've had 3 forced-reboot patches pushed to my computer in the last 4 days. Usually this happens once a month or less. Anyone have any clue what Microsoft is doing and why?

What version of Windows?
My work machine with Windows 10 Enterprise will get forced reboots, but that's corporate IT's fault, not Microsoft's.
My personal machine running Windows 11 Pro will happily wait a week-plus for me to trigger the reboot after a Windows update installs. I haven't changed any of the update settings or joined it to a domain; it's doing this out of the box.

I hear holding off before shooting off the update tends to result in higher success rates.

Indeed. My Windows machines on 11 haven't had any kind of forced reboot since installation of 11.

I haven’t got a forced reboot since early windows 10. Never on 11. There is a lot of updating and things going wonky.
I moved to linux on my surface now. Things just go wonky when I disable grub timeouts.

Today was a fun case in point - I’m still on Win 10 like a stubborn mule, partner’s laptop is now on Win11.
We sat on the sofa earlier, played video games, then went out for the evening to a hotel (because bedroom still not usable). She shut down her laptop - I watched her go to the start menu and select shutdown.
Damn thing applied updates, shut down theh rebooted. This whole cycle of “shut down” means “update and reboot” happened 3 times before shut down actually meant shut down.

Still better than forced update/reboot

Debian stable. We don’t get updates.

Debian stable. We
don’tget updates only after intensive testing is conclusive.
FTFY

Windows Updates receive intensive testing too, and within less than a week of Patch Tuesday

Nothing says Windows Update testing has to pass its tests. Merely that it has tests that are run.

Unfortunately, they don't finish in time either.

At the risk of explaining the joke, I see you have omitted the direction of the time interval.

Meaning none of your windows 11 installations have ever had unexpected reboots. See how easy it is?

I vaguely remember hearing and/or reading a short news report a few days ago that there's a known 0-day exploit out there without a fix available yet. I'm guessing that this might be related?

Just because we're in a thread about Windows Update wrongdoing doesn't give you license to violate the rules yourself

Status: IT apparently made the work laptop do it, and lo, unannounced reboot last night!
I guess 22H2 is back to usual shenanigans.

That's what my employer used to think. too...
Best Practice
(Current version: test do not need to run either)
