Microsoft has removed the downloadable versions of Windows 10 version 1511, a major update to the operating system which was released earlier in November<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the update is still available, but users are required to get it through Windows Update.<\/p>\n

When the update was first rolled out, Microsoft said it was the\u00a0\u201cfirst major update\u201d for Windows 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this free update we have reached the point in the platform\u2019s maturity where we can confidently recommend Windows 10 deployment to whole organisations,\u201d said Microsoft.<\/p>\n

However, there have been numerous reports of issues with the 1511 release, and Microsoft\u2019s reason for pulling the downloadable installer for the patch remains a mystery.<\/p>\n

Ars Technica reported<\/a><\/strong> receiving the following statement from Microsoft about the issue:<\/p>\n

The November update was originally available via the MCT (Media Creation Tool), but the company decided that future installs should be through Windows Update. People can still download Windows 10 [Build 10240] using the MCT if they wish. The November update will be delivered via Windows Update.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has not pulled the Windows 10 November 10 update. The company is rolling out the November update over time \u2013 if you don\u2019t see it in Windows Update, you will see it soon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
