Microsoft re-releases snooping patches KB 2952664, KB 2976978
I think there were some questions earlier on these in the Win 7
group; the second one is for Win 8 so I'm crossposting to the Win 8 group. Here's Woody Leonhard's take on these patches: http://www.infoworld.com/article/316...ows/microsoft- re-releases-snooping-patches-kb-2952664-kb-2976978.html Partial text: We don't know what KB 2952664 (for Windows 7) and KB 2976978 (for Windows 8.1) actually do. But both patches have been shown in the past to trigger a new Windows task called DoScheduledTelemetryRun. The patches appeared in the Automatic Update chute earlier today [2017-02-09] as Optional, so they won't be installed unless you specifically check and install them. But in the past, the Optional versions have been converted rapidly to Recommended, and thus installed on most machines. The last release of KB 2952664 went from Optional to Recommend in a week. . . . I have no idea what's up. Why is Microsoft releasing this CEIP [telemetry] diagnostic program on a Thursday? Why isn't it being held for next Tuesday's Monthly Rollup? Why does it fall outside the announced schedule of Security Only and Monthly Rollup patches? You're not paranoid if they actually are out to get you. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://BrownMath.com/ http://OakRoadSystems.com/ Shikata ga nai... |
