At the beginning of the month, Microsoft released the latest official update for Windows 7, which ended the support time for the second most used version of its operating system. Therefore, users who would like to continue receiving support for this version for 3 more years would have to pay for the updates, although if they did not want to do so they could still upgrade for free to Windows 10.
And when we all believed that Windows 7 had already come to an end, a Microsoft error has forced the company to launch a new support update for all users who still have this version on their computers.
The controversial error that has generated divided opinions
The error that affected Windows 7 users came after the installation of the KB4534310 version, which caused problems with the desktop background. Although this is a “small” error, Microsoft was forced to release a new update for Windows 7 that solves this problem.
This is the first time that a version that has been left out of official support receives an official update for all users who still use that version.
And it is that initially the fact that the error is so “simple” has generated divided opinions, on the one hand, users mention that this type of errors should not happen in companies of the size such as Microsoft, while others accuse the company to put this error on purpose so that users will pay to continue receiving extended support, however, the company ended this controversy by offering the free update for all users.
In any case, we recommend you upgrade to Windows 10 if you still use Windows 7, although if you are a company that needs to continue using this version, it is best to pay for the 3-year extended support offered by the company.
