Microsoft has promised greater disclosure on the contents of Windows 10 updates, following complaints from users over the current clandestine approach.
After Windows 10 device owners reacted negatively to background updates and little clarify in terms of the contents of updates, Redmond is changing tack.
The firm is now promising detailed release notes with each patch or update and a new website where users can keep tabs on the update history.
A Microsoft spokesperson said (via The Verge): “
“Today we are rolling out the Windows 10 update history site, a hub for the release notes that will accompany each update and serve as a historical record of prior release notes.”
The Windows Update History site is now live and will be updated as and when new updates are launched.
