Microsoft to force-update your Windows 11 22H2/21H2 PC to 23H2 as it keeps training its ML
Microsoft is beginning the broad deployment phase of Windows 11 version 23H2 on eligible Windows 11-compatible systems. The company is doing so using its ML model as it continues training it.
Dear God, bad headline
Rolling out isn't a forced update. Microsoft uses machine learning to determine when a computer should receive a big feature update. These are gradual, similar to how how Steam staggers your game updates by default. Machines qualified by the model to have a "good" upgrade experience get updated first. This is to 1. not strain global delivery and local networks too much 2. be able to stop the rollout if anything goes wrong.
All the message they analyzed from MS meant was that as the EOL of previous Win11 version nears, they're starting to rollout the update to all PCs. You can still disable automatic updates.
This community has a heavy bias against Windows. Expect more of those kinds of headlines to show up in here.
That's very understandable. I also hate Windows, but not to the point of fake headlines.
not strain global networks to much
I have personally witnessed what mass Windows updates can do to a network on a smaller scale on a college campus when I used to work IT for one
For the longest time (They eventually got around to fixing this, I was just hell desk at the time so not my problem) whenever patch Tuesday would roll around everything network wise came to a screeching halt for a solid hour while all the windows machines would update
But Linux good, Windows bad? This entirely reasonable approach doesn't sound right.
You think we only hate Windows because we think they force updates?
Just another reason to ditch Microsoft wherever possible.
Just did this.
Origin:
Microsoft can force update Deez nuts
Got ems!
newest cersion of tiny 11 released recently, can disable copilot if u want
And yet when I want to install 23H2 I can’t get windows update to offer it. Thanks Microsoft.
That's what the article actually means beneath the clickbait: They're going to start offer 23H2 to all PCs, not just these that their ML model thinks have had a "good" update experience. See my comment above.
To get the latest versions, just turn on “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available,” and select Check for updates, which is what the article quoted.
They're rolling it out gradually, as is customary for routine updates.
I'm not sure why this is worthy of a headline, frankly. This is how Microsoft typically does these things. I guess it's the "...with AI involved somehow!" Bit in the title that makes it interesting? I expect that's going to get old fairly quickly.
I've never had issues trying to force it to give me the latest update in the past. I spent like an hour doing everything in my power to get it to install without downloading the full 6 gig iso, but I guess if I want to update this device I guess I'll have to.
I have multiple other devices running Windows 11 and none of them had any issues getting the "upgrade to 23H2" prompt. Not sure why this one is such a problem.
Just go straight to their catalog and download it directly? That’s always been an option for virtually every update ever.
Can you? I can't find the update anywhere on the page.
I found this, which googling the enablement stuff gets me a link to windows 11 forum which supposedly has that enablement.
Oh lmao.
Microsoft Update Catalog No
BloatNosey latest version might help ( I hope).
