Microsoft Finally Begins Testing Windows Updates

After Multiple Disasters, Microsoft Has Finally Decided to Use Its Insiders to Test Cumulative Updates

It’s getting almost a routine to read about non-stop disasters that many of the Windows 10 users face after every new update. At first, it was around new feature updates, however, in the past few months, even the cumulative updates have managed to throw a few curve balls at Windows users. It appears that Microsoft has finally decided to test these monthly updates before pushing them to everyone.

Microsoft has released a new cumulative update to Windows 10 1809 October 2018 Update, but the update is currently only available to the Release Preview ring. KB4476976 aka build 17763.288 brings some Action Center fixes and improvements (via TF). Nothing big, but just the fact that the company has decided to push them to the Insiders before releasing them to the public gives us hope that this might become a regular thing.

Late to the party but, but better late than never.

Thanks @Firefox

Wasn't that supposed to be the whole idea of the insider rings?

Why set up what is essentially a world wide beta testing group and then not use it?

I wonder if it will soon finally be possible again to install AMD graphics and HDMI audio drivers. My father's computer is absolutely desperate for this.

Mobile Hotspots (and even the ability to use Wi-Fi at all) have also been horrifically broken lately.
