I do not allow Automatic update as it often sees issues created in my network. MS occasionally overrides that with what they feel is urgent security issues or similar.


Last night everything worked. This morning a Key program would not load on workstations. PING and Network all tested fine from the too the server?

The medical software requires certain ports. The forced MS update closed them. My preference is to always install updates after I have a back up and when the computers can be all mine!!! After hours of course. That allows me to test IF issues like this morning bite without adding chaos like it was for 30 odd minutes to fix the issue Microsoft created for me.
