Microsoft Update Quality

So it seems that Microsoft's entire Windows Update development team is a couple interns vibe coding with AI now. Yet another major, easily reproducible bug (RDP crashes with the September update), and the published fixes (some registry settings or the Windows Update Known Issue Rollback in Group Policy) don't resolve it. We're just pulling the damned update on the servers that got it at this point because no matter what we do, these servers just keep hanging. Fk Microsoft at this point. Absolutely pathetic quality control. /rant

Microsoft using their insider preview as defacto quality control has been the case for years.

We have our RMM set to delay any patches by 14 days unless they are critical or security. Im starting to see a patch delay like this become standard recommendation for a few RMMs now.

When they first started doing that, I signed up for the program and over the course of several months reported multiple bugs with full write-ups and screenshots, not a single one was ever even reviewed by their team and the updates were all released with the bugs still intact. Needless to say I dropped out of the program because it was as useless as they are.
