Windows Updates getting even more complex, a little more controllable
Found on Ars Technica on Tuesday, 25 April 2017
This split packaging (and split classification) should make it easier for organizations to, for example, deploy Security Update very quickly but hold the non-security portion back so that it can be more thoroughly tested and validated. Systems that are set to skip "quality updates" will skip these packages, picking up only the security updates.
Or, Microsoft could return to the previous method of releasing the patches in single files so users can cherrypick whatever they want; but no, this is so uncool today.
