Oh No! Windows 11 - Machines Automatically Upgrading Somehow?
Posted by small_horse@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 2 comments
So it's not that we are averse to going to Windows 11, but we do want to try and control the deployment.
Yesterday a raft of devices decided that upon reboot they would take their chance to move to Windows 11.
What's concerning is that the only packages that these machines installed via WU were: KB5046542 CU for .NET, KB890830 Windows MSRT and a Security Intelligence Update for MS Defender.
No package has been released to these machines called "Windows 11" or any the other wonderful package names MS have used over the years to try and trick me into deploying it.
So how is this happening? Any ideas?

Apparently if you have enabled the slider "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available" it updates the device to Windows 11. Not sure if that is what was enanbled for you.

that update was installed weeks months ago and only kicked because the user rebooted? check back further in the logs. Also dont fret too much about Windows 11 its very stable.
