Hi all.
This is a small post from me coadmin.
To be safe I have posted the actual post personally as I am using a tool from web archive via windowsclub to hide an update.
Basically microsoft has released an update to secure the recovery partition from being hacked with cryptolock.
For the microsoft guys on here, how many home users use this.
I know you push this on your accountts but I’d imagine unless you were in a business, or booted of a server or got local access via the recovery environment somehow, unknown why or how, that you be able to leaverage this.
The average home user certainly doesn’t need this.
And to top it off the average user won’t want to fiddle with their partitions in fact its dangerous to do so unless you need.
You want to get this installed.
Here is my post.
If you must see if you can get the partition resized to do this if you want but seriously, I have systems which are home systems, and 1 business system and for the home boxes I use a local account.
The business system is logged in with an ms account but I don’t need or use cryptolocker encription.
Luckily I do have the tool to hide updates and I will be using this to hide anything that fails especially if I have no use for it till its fixed and can be used.
The average user won’t care about the issue in this case and will just want any errors to go away.
I am a system admin and I don’t use the things in this update.
I don’t want this update about because it stops updates from completing so I made it go away.
I don’t know why you hid away the hiding tool because its quite usefull.
True I wouldn’t reccomend hiding of updates generally but all us users want is to use our systems.
Think of that before you put a broken or update that doesn’t fit or have issues fitting.
Average users like myself just want our systems to update so we can continue with our lives not monkey about with the systems so we can continue with our lives assuming we don’t have to rebuild first.
You may not agree but I have hidden your update because I don’t need or use the service it pertains to and I need my update process to complete successfully.
If you have a problem with this, then fix your stuff or get lost.
Don’t be expecting me to reccomend cryptolock to everyone and for hecks sake users like me would appreciate it if you didn’t force it on users of microsoft accounts in 11 and make average users use them unless they want to.
