It appears that this patch was bumped from recommended to important and ended up getting automatically installed. Even SME networks running WSUS were affected if they are configured to allow important patches by default.
- scholia 11y agoGot four auto-updated PCs here at home that qualify for the upgrade and it hasn't happened to any of them. And given Microsoft's reliance on people accepting its EULA, I'm pretty sure it would not deliberately bypass that.... Otherwise, Microsoft stated that it wouldn't upgrade PCs updated via WSUS, so I'd be interested to see concrete evidence, because that would clearly be a mistake. Not to mention wrong.
- Laforet 11y agoFolks over in /r/sysadmin has been complaining for about a week. My understanding if that the upgrade will actually go through unless GPO explicitly prevents the upgrade[0]. And the EULA dialogue will only appear AFTER the installation is complete[1].

- scholia 11y ago> the EULA dialogue will only appear AFTER the installation is complete This is true, and it's a waste of time, and it creates unnecessary risk. However, if you decline the EULA, it does roll back to your old OS. I've done this several times and it has worked perfectly so far. It absolutely shouldn't be happening, but real sysadmins have the means to stop it from happening.
