What happens to the cleaned-up drivers?
After the expiry, Microsoft will publish a blog post mentioning the end of the first cut of driver expiry. After that, there will be a 6-month window for partners to get back with concerns (if any). If no action is taken, the drivers will be permanently removed from windows update.
The unplug and wait for screaming approach to software update management.
- Some of those screams are in the form of new purchases!
Lol, YOUR PC maybe.
Oh I do so love being able to just keep reposting this same comment:
Ahahahah! People still use Windows?!
Ahahahhaha!
Just buy a new one, bruh
Yeah I neutered the fuck out of windows update so I don't get this nonsense while I take my time switching to linux. Just took the next step and put zorin on a laptop I was given.
