Microsoft appears to have been really struggling to get updates for Windows 10 users

. However, just days after the latest Windows 10 update, KB4520062, was released, Microsoft is advising that some users,"should not install this update," as it can break the Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection service. So, what’s gone wrong this time and who needs to avoid this latest Windows 10 update?This is the second cumulative update for Windows 10 to hit users in October, and it's not a particularly important one from the security perspective.

"After installing this update, the Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection service might stop running and might fail to send reporting data. You might also receive a 0xc0000409 error in Event Viewer in MsSense.exe."While this won't impact Windows 10 consumer users, it's something of a big deal as far as those business users who rely upon Windows Defender ATP to protect them are concerned.

The only good news here is that not all 900 million users of Windows 10 are impacted by this Defender-breaking update and that it's not a mandatory one either., and I'm going to say it again: Please don't think that I'm a Microsoft hater as that is very far from the truth. I am a Windows 10 user myself, and I appreciate the complexity of maintaining such a behemoth of code. However, that doesn't stop me from thinking that Microsoft can surely do better.
