The new site will include changelogs for each new update, along with details on when the update was released and what the update was called via Windows Update. Microsoft says each update will now get full changelogs via this website, which is something many have been asking Microsoft for since Windows 10 launched last year.
Great news that many have wanted for months now.
'Bout time! Thanks for the link to the link!
Thanks for posting. good news..
nice to see what the updates are for and what they are supposed to do
Thanks for that.
It is a bit odd you have to click on the Successfully installed on d/m/yline rather than the patch name line to get the More infolink though. And when you click on More infoit doesn't take you to the page with the change details but rather just to this page which only saysThis update includes improvements to enhance the functionality of Windows 10 Version 1511.
It would be much better (especially as it says the KB page "a complete listing of the issues" but doesn't) if you could click on the patch name and it would take you to the relevant part of this page Windows 10 update history - Windows Help.
Perhaps I'm being overly picky though
Microsoft has announced a new Windows 10 Update History websitethat provides users with detailed information on Windows 10 updates as they are rolled out."We're committed to our customers and strive to incorporate their feedback, both in how we deliver Windows as a service and the info we provide about Windows 10. In response to this feedback, we’re providing more details about the Windows 10 updates we deliver through Windows Update. You'll see a summary of important product developments included in each update, with links to more details. This page will be regularly refreshed, as new updates are released."
This is certainly long overdue and puts them in line with most major software publisher's procedures. Microsoft has a long history of claiming that such information is more useful to malware makers than it's own users. The thing is, the malware guys are the ones that usually find the bugs before the users ever are warned. At least now we can see when some of the problems are fixed.
Most important, when users experience issues with Windows Updates they can now try to narrow the cause down to specific fixes and help Microsoft and the community correct the issue faster.
Again, something that they would never have done under Gates or Balmer.
Kudos Microsoft and Mr. Nadella.
