In a rather embarrassing turn of events, Microsoft has once again released the wrong Windows 10 update to its users.
In October, Microsoft sent the wrong Windows 10 update, which was supposed to bring āquality improvements to Windows Autopilot configured devicesā. However, rather than going to just devices powered by Autopilot, which is a tool used to set up devices in a business environment, the update was sent to all users of Windows 10, including Windows 10 Home users.

History has now repeated itself, with Microsoft making the same mistake by pushing Windows 10 Autopilot update āKB4532441ā out to everyone as part of its Patch Tuesday updates on December 10.
Here we go again
Like before, people using consumer versions of Windows 10 saw the Autopilot update, and even if installed, the update was offered to them continually.
To be fair to Microsoft, it was quick to acknowledge the mistake, and has taken down the update.
As Microsoft states in the release notes for the update, āThis update was available through Windows Update. However, we have removed it because it was being offered incorrectly.ā
If you use Autopilot, then the device youāre using should automatically update Windows Autopilot to the latest version.
If you donāt use the feature, and have installed the update, then donāt worry. Microsoft assures us that āThere is no effect on Windows Autopilot being offered to Windows 10 devices. If you were offered this update and do not use Autopilot, installing this update will not affect you.ā
To be on the safe side, you can uninstall the update without any issues.
So, itās not a complete disaster, but itās another instance of Microsoft messing up a Windows 10 update, which is making the company a bit of a laughing stock at the moment. Letās hope this is the last issue we see for a while.
