Just another major screw up from MS, and not the first time a critical bug passed through their hands without noticing. Which really adds more concerns over the direction MS is going in, and how really secure windows 11 will be once that is out? Thanks for the heads up. But this is pretty worrying all the same. if that bug had been noticed by hackers sooner, the results would have been very different. MS really needs to get their act together.

For information, the very latest W10 update downloaded and installed all by itself without any of the usual user interaction or warning. The only thing I had to do (and the first I knew of it) is when I had a 'Restart Now' pop-up on screen.
