Why can't Microsoft figure it out - updates, that is
No surprise, but the latest "feature update" fails to install on my Win
10 Pro laptop. The last one didn't either. The question remains: why can't MS figure out why the updates fail? All I get is the generic complaint that "some features could not be configured." Why? After all these years, can't MS do better than that? I've looked at log files, but they are indecipherable. MS has looked at them too and reached the same conclusion... I spent a career developing software and I can imagine how management would have reacted if they were told that the software we'd developed failed in the field but we couldn't figure out why. Do enterprise customers have to put up with this? |

Do enterprise customers have to put up with this? Before I retired I did hardware and software design. Everything went through many stages of test, validation and stress testing. Even so there was an occasional failure on a customer installation. The cost of mending hardware when it was miles away was quite expensive. Software could be was usually fixable remotely. -- http://www.npsnn.com |
