I use various software products from Intuit, and I have to use the PDF repair tool to fix up my QuickBooks after the feature update process. So I’m using this time to ensure I have a copy of Windows 10 21H1, which was released in May, saved on a flash drive or on a storage location on a hard drive.īased on the prior feature release processes, for example, I know that at the office I will need to deal with repairing PDF printers that will be impacted by the feature update. I prefer to stay one release behind, as it typically provides me with a stable system with full Microsoft support, and I’m able to identify what issues I may face. I always use the release of a new feature update to be the sign that I need to ensure that all of my main computers are on the prior release. Time after time we’ve seen the first few updates after each major release full of fixes for bugs and issues triggered by the new release. Many of us Windows admins consider it unwise to install either a new feature release or a new version for several months after it’s been released.

My advice is to hold off installing either release for the time being. Complicating matters somewhat, if your computer meets the Windows 11 hardware requirements, you might additionally see that OS as available for installation in Windows Update. Microsoft makes it easy for you to opt into beta testing, but not as easy to opt out.

Once again it’s that time when a new Windows 10 feature update is imminent - in this case, version 21H2, the Windows 10 November 2021 Update - and when you need to decide whether or not you want to participate in its unpaid beta testing process.
