14 DAY TRIAL // If you're already on Windows 10, you probably know that Microsoft doesn't provide any change log with the updates it releases for your operating system, aside from some very short mentions of “improvements and performance optimizations.”
So it's absolutely no surprise that the majority of users running Windows 10 criticized Microsoft for this sudden change, especially because they want to always be in full control of the updates they install, which sometimes could actually do more harm than good.
Fortunately, it appears that Microsoft has received the message, and Windows boss Terry Myerson says that the software giant is now working to change this approach and provide us with change logs for every single Windows 10 update that it pushes to our computers.
“Consumer feedback”
Obviously, Myerson has used this occasion to praise Microsoft's new collaboration with users, saying that it's all living proof that they are actively listening to our opinions (we're still waiting for tabs in File Explorer, by the way).
“As an example of direct response to feedback we’ve received, we will be improving our documentation of what has changed within any individual update, and improving scheduling options for when updates are installed. This collaboration with Insiders is invaluable to our team, and we continue to welcome anyone who wants to work with us on the future of Windows 10,” Myerson has recently said.
Right now, it's not yet clear when Microsoft actually plans to provide us with information on the Windows 10 updates it ships, but given the fact that Threshold 2 is just around the corner, this would be a good moment to start doing so.
Cumulative updates are released at a rather fast pace, and according to their brief change logs, they are only supposed to improve performance and fix bugs. And yet, it's no secret that there's more under the hood, so luckily, starting with Threshold 2, we'll know more about the changes they introduce.
