Following on from what it did with Microsoft Office Equation Editor, 0patch has already announced that it is going to " security-adopt" Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. Microsoft turns the screws on Windows 7 users with full-screen upgrade warningsĠpatch describes itself as "a microscopic solution for a huge security problem", issuing fixes for software faster than official developers, and it has pledged to continue to support Windows 7.0patch releases micropatch for Internet Explorer vulnerability - including for Windows 7.With that I'm mostly curious if anyone else here has noticed anything similar? The article does a solid job of explaining what needs to be done in order to avoid it and we're taking measures with our RMM software to prevent this taking place on our client machines but for those that perhaps don't have a robust RMM agent in place for whatever reason it sounds like it'll be a nightmare having to go around from machine to machine making sure the update isn't being installed or if it has, making completely certain it isn't going to install 10 on it's own. I've performed a fair deal of research into this and while I can find the culprit update I can't find any official confirmation from Microsoft that this is the case nor am I currently seeing any third party articles that explicitly state having seen this in the wild, the closest I've found is this article denoting the registry for GWX showing up and looking exactly the infamous version from a few years ago that automatically upgraded user machines. Just today we noticed one of our own conference Win 7 Pro PCs ran the latest patch Tuesday KB4524752 update and upgraded automatically from 7 to 10 with no input whatsoever from us, and my own personal PC at home which also runs Pro attempted but failed to run the upgrade, likely only due to my C drive being close to full. I work as an MSP with multiple clients most of which are still running managed Windows 7 PCs, and a fair number of them are running legacy software or are set up with peripheral equipment in some fashion that requires the Win 7 platform.
