We have hundreds of devices running this exact described situation, and we’ve not run into a single instance of this. Is this just one guy on Reddit complaining and the media ran with it?
Per the Microsoft KB for it, this only happens if Windows updates are installed before a user logs in for the first time. So basically re-images and especially VDI environments are at risk of this happening.
It's blogspam. You can click through to the original article. It only happens in certain environments.
Yeah, lol the article and the way OP posted it insiniuate that Microsoft somehow decided to get rid of it while that's not the issue, I did hear there's some bugs but yeah, wouldn't be Windows if it weren't.
