Microsoft has been beating the Windows 10 drum almost exclusively since that operating system's launch last July, virtually ignoring 10's predecessors. "Later this summer, we will be updating the site to eliminate the ActiveX control in order to support other browsers," he said. Mercer said that Microsoft would rework the Update Catalog so that customers could use browsers other than IE to access the roll-ups and other fixes.

Most users, of course, rely on Windows Update, WSUS, or other patch management platforms, but some - who want to manually download only those fixes they believe are safe and suitable - have turned to the download center. The restriction to the Update Catalog was part of yet another Microsoft initiative, one that Mercer claimed was to simplify access to updates and bug fixes. Previously, roll-ups and service packs have also been published to Microsoft's download center and/or to Windows Update.

The Windows 7 roll-up, however, is available only from the Update Catalog, a site that requires Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) or later, and is, to put it kindly, a mess. SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) is a management platform that Microsoft pitches to large organizations.

"These fixes will be available through Windows Update, WSUS, and SCCM as well as the Microsoft Update catalog," said Mercer. The first such roll-up for Windows 8.1, which will likely appear in June, would, by definition, include all the individual fixes released since that edition's October 2013 debut. Microsoft did not offer a similar roll-up for Windows 8.1, but promised that it will issue monthly cumulative packages for Windows 7, 8.1, Server 2008 R2 SP1, Server 2012 and Server 2012 R2. Instructions on that process can be found on Microsoft's site. IT administrators can also use the roll-up to modify their existing Windows 7 images to produce a more up-to-date image for deploying on new PCs. "Install this one update, and then you only need new updates released after April 2016," added Nathan Mercer, a senior product marketing manager, in a post to a company blog yesterday.īy using the roll-up, Windows 7 users can skip the tedious process of downloading and installing hundreds of individual updates via Windows Update, or on the business side, through an IT-managed patch system like Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
