For several years and as the windows operating system has become more complex software, the firm has given greater importance to updates. But at the same time, we must bear in mind that this is one of the most conflicting and problematic elements faced by Redmond and its users.
If we focus on the big feature updates that are shipped for the operating system, they usually come to us every six months. Right now we want to talk about the two of them belonging to the past year 2020 and 2021. We are telling you all this because Microsoft has announced through its Twitter account that the company is deploying version 21H2 of Windows 10 through Windows Update. This version reaches devices running version 20H2 of the system.
At first this is something that should seem normal to us, however, this is an update that is being forced without user permission. As you can imagine, this movement is not going to please everyone, since we should have the freedom to choose when to install each element of this type. Keep in mind that version 20H2 of Windows 10 will stop receiving support on May 10, 2022. This means that May’s Patch Tuesday will be the last for this version. Therefore, affected computers will not receive any further updates unless they upgrade to a newer version or upgrade to Windows 11.
Microsoft force install Windows 10 21H2
Thus, as the software giant has made official, they now begin the first phase in the deployment of version 21H2 for machine learning training. In this way target Windows 10 20H2 devices nearing the end of service. Its goal is to automatically update to version 21H2, that is, without the user’s permission.
What’s more, this is something that the Windows 10 version 21H2 support page confirms. In turn, Microsoft announces that it will continue to train its machine learning model to intelligently deploy new versions of Windows 10. With all this, it aims to offer a seamless upgrade experience for its hundreds of millions of customers.
In short, PCs running Windows 10 version 20H2 will automatically update to version 21H2. It is important to know that Microsoft uses update deployment for training of machine learning with coming out of support releases. But there is no doubt that forcing the arrival of a new element of this type without the user’s permission will not appeal to almost anyone.
In fact, at this point many are wondering if Microsoft should install updates automatically. The positive effect of this is that the security updates keep coming to protect us. On the other hand, those who do not want to give up full control to the firm see this as a serious problem.
