Every month, Microsoft releases three batches of updates. On the second Tuesday (known as Patch Tuesday) of every month, Microsoft rolls out a quality update with security and non-security fixes. These updates are known as “B” releases.
And on the third and fourth weeks of every month, there are “C” and “D” releases. “These are validated, production-quality optional releases, primarily for commercial customers and advanced users ‘seeking’ updates. These updates have only non-security fixes. The intent of these releases is to provide visibility into, and enable testing of, the non-security fixes that will be included in the next Update Tuesday release (we make these optional to avoid users being rebooted more than once per month),” said Microsoft in the blog post. “Advanced users can access the ‘C’ and ‘D’ releases by navigating to Settings Update & Security Windows Update and clicking the ‘ Check for updates’ box.
The ‘ D’ release has proven popular for those “seeking” to validate the non-security content of the next ‘ B’ release.” Every month, Microsoft updates over one billion devices ranging from desktops, IoT devices and servers. And it includes a number of combinations of Windows versions and various editions of Windows 10. During peak times, about 1,000 devices are updated per second. Evangelho wrote that Microsoft should provide a carefully worded opt-in procedure for the “C” and “D” updates. This way they will know that there may be some instability issues.
