Microsoft Windows 7 machines are being forced with the company’s latest operating system, Windows 10.
The problem is
affecting domain-attached PCs looking for a Microsoft update instead of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for patches and updates.
The consequence of this is that business networks suffer due to the simultaneous downloads on hundreds of computers at once.
The problem began showing up on Monday, with complaints beginning to notch up online. “Customers using hosted services are really struggling with the competition for bandwidth – effectively taking them off the air.” One user said.
Microsoft had earlier promised that this exact thing would not happen, the Windows 10 upgrade should be automatically blocked when the computer or device is joined to a domain.
Users have logged urgent complaints with Microsoft’s but in the meantime have resorted to blocking traffic at the firewall stage that would normally have gone to Microsoft Update.
