Win10 CB branch forced automatic update patch is not allowed off

Windows 10 will transform the Microsoft system from a product to a service for the first time, the so-called "Windows as a Service", a major change is that the way the Windows Update system is updated will be completely Different, but how specific has not been announced.

The famous Microsoft observer Mary Jo Foley announced today that Windows 10 will be divided into three service branches: Current Branch (CB/Current Branch), Current Branch for Business (CBB/Business Current Branch), Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB /Long Service Branch).

Among them, Windows 10 Home Edition only supports CB, Windows 10 Professional Edition, Education Edition can choose CB, CBB, Windows 10 Enterprise Edition can choose CB, CBB, LTSB.

The biggest difference between the three branches is the update patch installation mechanism.

In the CB branch, the update will be automatically pushed and installed after the update is ready. The user has no choice but to disconnect the network. Microsoft hopes to keep users up-to-date and avoid exploits and functional flaws.

The CBB branch corresponds to the business version of Windows Update for Business. Administrators can configure which updates to push to users, or choose P2P distribution channels to speed up the update and decide which services to update first. Guarantee key targets.

LTTS is the most free. You can control the content and time at will, but you can't postpone it indefinitely.

The situation of Windows 10 Mobile is still unclear, and it is estimated to belong to CB.

If this is the case, "Tuesday Patch Day" will become history, but everything will wait for Microsoft official news.

PS: Tuesday Patch Day

Before there was news that Soft will probably give up the "Public Patch Day" for many years, the tradition is that it will not wait for up to one month before releasing it. Fix the patch, but feel the problem at any time to resolve the push patch at any time.

Does this really happen? SoftPedia today received a short statement from Microsoft, as follows:

<quo;Windows Update for Business Customers can choose to distribute security updates to users at any time, and it's free. If the user chooses to update themselves, they will still receive updates on the second Tuesday of each month. ”

If so, "Tuesday Patch Day" will not change for ordinary users, but it does not rule out that Microsoft will follow the actual situation and customer feedback, and then follow the patch update mechanism. Further adjustments.

And, I believe that domestic users will basically install Windows 10 Professional Edition. There is no technical content in the home version!
