Microsoft plans another out-of-band Windows fix
"Microsoft is preparing another out-of-band update to address its latest problematic update following reports of installation errors. The update in question was a preview that failed to install on some devices."
"Time is running out. While the preview is optional, April's security update is not, and whatever has gone wrong in the installation process for this patch requires fixing."
"It hasn't been a good year so far for Microsoft, with patches needed to fix other patches. It is less than two weeks since the last out-of-band patch for a Microsoft account sign-in problem introduced in the March update."
"Turning the Windows ship is more akin to captaining a supertanker than a nimble yacht - the sheer scale of the Microsoft ecosystem means changes and updates take significant time to implement."
Microsoft is addressing installation errors from a recent preview update that failed on some devices, displaying error 0x80073712. The company paused the update and plans to release an out-of-band update soon. Users are frustrated with the need for another update, questioning the testing process. This year has seen multiple patches needed to fix previous updates, raising concerns about reliability. Windows boss Pavan Davuluri has acknowledged ongoing issues and pledged improvements, but significant changes require time and coordination across the Microsoft ecosystem.
