Microsoft explains disappearance of the Windows 10 November Update from Media tool

WinBeta: Earlier today, we reported that the Windows 10 November Update had been pulled from Windows Update, meaning it was no longer being offered to Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 users. It also appears to have been pulled from the Media Creation Tool, meaning you can no longer do in-place upgrades with an ISO, as the tool is no longer offering the ISO for download.

And the Windows 10 woes continue...

Godmars2903130d ago

So after all the defense for MS that Windows 10 wont delete apps, its first major update deletes apps.

Neat.

They do this with all their major products, remember X1 and how kinect was impossible to remove because it was part of the OS ? and a week l8r they did because of all the complains.

They didn't pull the update. Not sure why sites keep reporting that. It is still available via Windows Update.

All they did was pull the full install ISO that contained everything including the November update.

That's what happen when no-name blogs report on things. I've since updated the story the reflect the correct and more accurate source.

Along with the new update they also pushed through the updated Xbox Accessorize PC App. As soon as I tried to do a controller firmware update it instantly bricked my Xbone controller. After having to fight with Microsoft for 2 days. They said they wouldn't repair or replace it unless I bought a new Xbone console. I requested they send me the transcripts. Once they realized that they had to legally accept to send them & that what they had suggested was bribery they apologized said I could keep the one I already had & they would send me a new one in the post.

Absolutely disgusted by the service though!

Windows 10 upgrade notifications will stop trying to trick you

People should upgrade to W10, don't get why they wouldn't want it.

KingPin2912d ago

some professional software isnt compatible with windows 10 yet throwing unknown errors and constant issues.

and then theres the spying software that some people are not to keen about. forced updates for home users (WGA anyone?)
some devices dont work with 10. printers and peripherals.

on a personal note: i've upgraded to 10.....but linux mint is my default OS.

annoyedgamer2912d ago

Or maybe Microshaft should stop using malware to push their spyware service? Win 10 is horrendous ( I have used it). It has few benefits over Windows 8 and even less over 7.

Grap2912d ago

"Win 10 is horrendous"
by that statement i know you haven't fully used it.
I get people who don't use it for spyware service reasons and i sympathies with them, but in no way of shape or form W10 is less than W8 or even 7, MS really outdo them selves with W10 and if it weren't of their spyware service i would say it's even better than XP.

TXIDarkAvenger2912d ago (Edited 2895d ago )

I would have agreed before but because they force updates it breaks some of my programs and there is nothing I can really do about it.

xXx19902912d ago

lol this is great.. You guys act like Microsoft just started spying on people.. This has been going on for years
