Microsoft Dismisses False Reports On End of Patch Tuesday

Slashdot reader wiredmikey writes: Microsoft has dismissed reports about June 14 being the last Patch Tuesday, as the rollout of the Windows Autopatch service seems to be causing some confusion. Several major cybersecurity companies and prominent security news publications caused confusion this week when they reported that June 14 was the final Patch Tuesday, describing it as "the last ever Patch Tuesday," "the end of Patch Tuesday" and "the end of an era."

That is not accurate. The rollout of Windows Autopatch does not mean there will no longer be Patch Tuesday updates, and Microsoft told SecurityWeek that the company will continue releasing security updates on the second Tuesday of the month.

Reports are exaggerated

Or reimaging PCs back to Windows 10 Enterprise because Microsoft made the Windows 11 update available direct to users.

IS WSUS dead? Can you have an local sever to send them out vs each system downloading them still?
Can you add your own apps? More drivers? More firmware? like the on server ones?

Will it try to blow away newer nvidia / ati drivers with the not as up to date ones from windows update?

If only Microsoft would release documentation for autopatch. They have such a horrible track record of not sharing this information [microsoft.com]

Bring IE6 back! The best web browser for web development professionals; especially those paid hourly.

reading comprehension

[awwshit]

If you read past any of the headlines it was clear that consumers will not be served by Autopatch and that Windows Update would live on for most people. Is the level of understanding of most people really at the level of a simple meme?

The Last Announcement

[puddingebola]

This is the last announcement of a declaration of the last anything. Windows 10 was the last system of windows, June 14 is the last patch Tuesday, this is the last time I click on a story involving Windows and "the last..."

Whatever they do, it will be defect

They have a reputation for incompetence to maintain, after all...
