Well i guess they realize it takes over 15 days to get our PCs working before they mess them up again.

They are not forced to do and update every Patch Tuesday.

 

[gtspeck]

Tim, your correct. Lately MS seems to send patches as needed

 

[Jake B]

Getting close to the major release.

 

[Defender01]

Getting close to the major release.

Ohh no

 

[Tim Locke]

2 months or so I bet. Mid April.

Don't have to wait for Microsoft to push the update, it's been in the Update Catalog since 1/26/2017.

That is the update to which Norton refers in his initial post

Weighs in at 1,071,808GBs. It was another accumulative update. As it stated "If you installed earlier updates, only the new fixes contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device."

so why did this update not appear on a Patch Tuesday I wonder?

Davehc said It weighs in at 1,071,808 GB. Oh my! Is that B for bit or byte. That's 1,046.688 TB. So If I was to do a fresh install, all those updates would bankrupt me because of the money owed to my internet provider.

I'm thinkin he meant KBs not GBs
Which would make it a touch over a gig..... still a respectable size for an "Update", much larger and it would likely qualify as an "Upgrade"

 

[Norton]

Trouble Thanks! I thought it must be a typo. A 1,046.688 TB update would be the end of MS servers.

The cumulative Update for next Tuesday carries the number KB3217574

Applications/callers that load KB 3216755 versions of the System.data.dll libraries may experience memory leaks. In extreme cases, such leaks can cause service or application crashes. The rate of the leak increases with the number of SQL queries issued by the calling app.
This condition is resolved by installing KB 3217574 currently scheduled to release on Tuesday, February 14, 2017.

I wonder why the KB 3216755 does not appear in the Windows update as it installs without a problem ??

 

[davehc]

LOL. Sorry. 1.02gbs!

I think my first figure would have overloaded my HD just a little!!!!!

This reliable site seems to have an opinion that it is an experimental new way of sending updates. Breach here was that, of course, we do need to be informed that it is waiting for download in the future. Or did any of you? I only discovered its availability whilst browsing.
