    Optional update KB2952664 was republished today


    Optional update KB2952664 was republished today

    I bolded some of the text in the quote.
    Was this update documented this way before, or is the bolded text new info ?
    This is an update i never installed on systems i didn't want to upgrade to Win10, it is hidden.
    I like to keep my systems as updated and current as possible, hopefully they work better that way.

    This update performs diagnostics on the Windows systems that participate in the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program. The diagnostics evaluate the compatibility status of the Windows ecosystem, and help Microsoft to ensure application and device compatibility for all updates to Windows. There is no GWX or upgrade functionality contained in this update.

    It's optional so I hid it. I trust MS as far as I can spit upwind in a hurricane.

    As far as I know the last version had this description:

    This update performs diagnostics on the Windows systems that participate in the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program. These diagnostics help determine whether compatibility issues may be encountered when the latest Windows operating system is installed. This update will help Microsoft and its partners ensure compatibility for customers who want to install the latest Windows operating system.

    When I went to that site, it claimed that my browser was out of date and I needed to update to the latest version to be able to use the site. So, when did IE12 come out?

    It's something to do with the way the page is archived and nothing to worry about.

    If I remember correctly, this "update" would remain hidden only until a newer version was released by Microsoft.
