This community has a heavy bias against Windows. Expect more of those kinds of headlines to show up in here.

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.

Just did this.

Got ems!

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.

Just go straight to their catalog and download it directly? That’s always been an option for virtually every update ever.

Someone down voted you 🤦‍♂️
