The big November update for Windows 10 is now available for download again after Microsoft removed it<\/a><\/strong> from Windows Update and the Media Creation Tool.<\/p>\n

This follows speculation that Microsoft had pulled the update after numerous bugs with version 1511 of Windows 10 had been reported.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s trouble with the update is concerning, as it billed it as the \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

A recent\u00a0Knowledge Base article<\/a><\/strong> on the Microsoft website has clarified the issue, explaining that it had to do with the update silently reverting certain privacy settings to their defaults.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe learned of an issue that could have impacted an extremely small number of people who had already installed Windows 10 and applied the November update (Version 1511),\u201d the article said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the November update was installed, a few settings preferences may have inadvertently not been retained for advertising ID, Background apps, SmartScreen Filter, and Sync with devices.\u201d<\/p>\n

This has now been fixed<\/a><\/strong>, and the update is available for download again.<\/p>\n
