Willy2 0 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 - Microsoft is going to reduce the amount of Updates each month. Each month, all the "non security updates" for a number of Windows versions will be packaged into one single Update. Source: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsitpro/2016/05/17/simplifying-updates-for-windows-7-and-8-1/ - Look at the title of this webarticle: "Simplifying Updates for Win 7 & Win 8" !!! - The article annouces the "Convenience Roll Up" for Win 7 SP 1as well !!! - The article contains these words: "we’re making available a new convenience rollup for Windows 7 SP1" Were there any previous "Roll Up" updates for Win 7 SP 1 ???

dided1947 0 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Viva Microsoft, I off all updates, because every day it offer to update Link to post Share on other sites
Willy2 0 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 - But is Microsoft going to include in those "roll up" updates the "Optional" updates as well ? I certainly hope they won't. Because those "Optional" updates contain the Win 10 nagware. Link to post Share on other sites
Willy2 0 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 - The article (see post #1) also reveals more changes. Somewhere this summer MS is going to change/update the Update webpage code (think: ActiveX). Then e.g. Chrome & Firefox users are also able to download Windows Updates.

Willy2 0 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 - When I read this article right then MS will regularly make new "Convenience Roll Up" packages/Updates available ??? http://www.ghacks.net/2016/05/17/microsoft-updating-windows-7-8-1-easier/ That's not what I read in the Original MS blog post: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsitpro/2016/05/17/simplifying-updates-for-windows-7-and-8-1/ Although the article contains these words "We’re happy to announce today that we’re making available a new convenience rollup for Windows 7 SP1 that will help. This convenience rollup package, .............. " It would also explain why there was this "-v4-" in the name of the "Roll Up Update". Link to post Share on other sites
