If you have been hesitant to install Windows Updates, or perhaps it has been a while since your last system reboot, then this announcement will have an effect on you. The majority of security scanners have identified Win11 22H2 as a significant threat for some time now, prompting Microsoft to take action. On October 8th, Microsoft will enforce the update to Windows 11 23H2, although the method for this enforcement remains somewhat ambiguous. If a device has not received updates since October of the previous year, the system will remain unchanged unless a reboot is initiated. Forced reboots have been rare, so it is unlikely that users will experience this.

For systems at risk, the ability to delay updates may be temporarily suspended, but users can still prevent updates by switching to a metered connection. Some individuals opt to navigate to Settings > Modify PC settings > Choose Network > Connections and designate the network as a metered connection to halt the update process. This action might also serve as a barrier to the update.

The decision-making process, as may be inferred by now, “aligns with the machine learning-based (ML) training we have employed thus far.” This reasoning may clarify the seemingly illogical decision-making process. Nevertheless, it is advisable to carry out the update.
