Microsoft fixes connection problems with Windows Update

Microsoft fixes connection problems with Windows Update

Microsoft has been having DNS issues, with the result that Windows users did not get their updates. Microsoft has confirmed that the problems are solved and updates can be installed again. 

Windows Update went globally offline, although the issue presented itself mostly towards users from the United States and the United Kingdom. Windows Update no longer wanted to work due to DNS problems, Microsoft said. Microsoft mentions that the issue at hand should have been be solved on the day itself, but that there were still people with connection problems because the DNS servers had not yet been updated with the new data entries.

“The Windows Update service was impacted by a data corruption issue in an external DNS service provider global outage on January 29, 2019. The issue was resolved on the same day and Windows Update is now operating normally, but a few customers have continued to report issues connecting to the Windows Update service. We expect these issues will go away as downstream DNS servers are updated with the corrected Windows Update DNS entries.”

At least that's an understandable problem, but forcing poorly tested updates isn't.

Jee, M$ just can't catch a breath.

I know, what a disastrous time for MS. They are still dealing with that crippling 81% desktop/notebook market share and for two days some users couldn't get their monthly update packages. They cycle around somewhere in the top 5 most valuable companies in the world and made 35.1 billion in net income in 2018. Enough of the drama about MS struggling in any way.

Enjoy one of these while you wait an extra day or two for your monthly update package:

I installed an update a few days ago and now my charging percentage is messed up. Laptop/tablet only charges when it's off. Maybe Windows is reading the wrong charging percentage but right after the update my 2 year old unit the charging either stays the same or decreased lol. Gotta love WINDOWS 10.

Also the update doesn't show my 3 software icons for car diagnostics now it takes 30 seconds for those icons are shown but only in TABLET MODE. All this shit just happen after the update.
