Warning: Another Windows Update rant.
I've had a Windows Server 2019 VM refuse to install updates for quite a while now. Since today's patch Tuesday, figured I'd try to dig a little more into it since I'm going to be looking at that machine again sooner or later.
MS has made it clear for a while now that, with Cumulative Updates, you can take a brand new OS install, and immediately bring everything up to date just by installing the latest available Cumulative Update. Since this particular VM refuses to install the latest CU for Server 2019 (KB4522355, which came out October 24th) directly from my WSUS server, I figured I'd download the offline installer, and run that locally (more often than not this solves this type of problem).
Nope, "this update is not applicable to your computer". Tried many things, no change.
On a hunch, I tracked down the CU prior to that one--from October 8th (KB4519338). That one didn't complain, and is now in the process of being installed (as I'm writing this).
If these CUs are truly "cumulative", why does the newer one insist it's not applicable...? Windows Update itself insisted I needed it...

Does anyone else find it to be a pita to get pestered by the annoying system modal 'Updates are Available' screen where the only option is to 'View Available Updates'! Where is my 'Ignore Again' option?

Yes...
I'm sure there's a policy somewhere that dictates that behavior...but as with all policies...the trick part is finding it...

Tired? Need a nap? I have a pad for that!

I guess it could be worse:

I heard that Disney is still looking for people who are able to write something that resembles a movie script.

Why would they suddenly start now?

Because next month the sh*t os going to hit the fan and then, finally, some heads are going to roll. Hopefully not just those of some scapegoats.

In that case, I can't wait to see that happen...
(are you referring to their streaming service, so now they have to either put up or shut up?)

No, I was thinking of a certain movie that will be due next month and how they seem to be struggling to get out of the act without getting tomatos thrown at them at the test screenings.
The real entertainment these days seems to be their inability and on the other side the fans who are stocking up on torches and pitchforks. And that's absolutely free.

Well, in this case, it's way too late to do anything about "that certain movie", isn't it? At this point in time, the writers have long gone home (and hiding, I'm sure).
OTOH, no matter how bad it is, it's still going to rake in hundreds of millions. You can count on that.

From what I have heard, the first test screenings did not go well at all and they already have rewritten, partially reshot and recut the whole thing. Twice. And they still are not happy with the result. If only half of that is true, the fans will tar and feather them and then chase them out of the town.
As I said: This is getting far more amusing than any movie they could possibly make.

Time to bring the franchise to an end IMO. Disney's already made back the money they spent buying it, and then some. Yes, I said it.

I think they could improve it with a little product placement.
How about a death star with a giant 'That was easy' button from Staples on the outside. I mean - they haven't blown up a death star in - what - 2 movies now?
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

Only if the new death star is much bigger and more dangerous than all the last ones together. And let's revive the emperor to blow him up with it... wait...

But they need to do it with an all female cast. That ALWAYS works...
