Windows 10: "Your device needs the latest security updates"
Posted: December 19th, 2017, 6:24 pm
One of my PCs is running Windows 10 and is on version 1511. It was running fine until a Windows Update, which I have rolled back, and I then disabled the Windows Update process.
As you may be aware, there is no option to stop Windows 10 updates - they happen automatically unless you go into "services" at services.msc and disable "wuauserv", which is the Windows Update process.
Well, imagine my surprise when I came to the PC in question and found out that it was updating itself, with a screen saying "your device needs the latest security updates"!
Windows Update was disabled - why on earth did it start updating and why did it install "Window 10 Update Assistant" behind my back?!
Why am I being forced onto the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update?
Thanks a lot Microsoft - now I really know why I am sticking with Windows 7 until EOL, or even further!
