Microsoft took down the downloadable version of the November update for Windows 10 from the Media Creation Tool just recently. The latest available in the MCT is the build released back in July. The software giant said that there's no mishap going on.
The tech firm clarified to ZDNet that the disappearance of the download was no accident. Microsoft explained that it simply "decided that future installs should be through Windows Update." The aforementioned publication, however, finds this move strange.
For days, Microsoft has been promoting the use of the Media Creation Tool, which makes the tech giant's decision to ditch the channel for Windows 10 update absurd. At the moment, this is the only explanation that the company has provided.
The change, as media outlets point out, will also have users that decided to switch from Windows 7 or 8.1 PC to Windows 10 to wait for another month to be able to get the November update. Microsoft elaborates this on its FAQ page:
"If it's been less than 31 days since you upgraded to Windows 10, you won't get the November update straight away; this will allow you to go back to your previous version of Windows if you choose. After the 31 days have passed, your PC will automatically download the November update."
It looks like it is going to be this way from here on out. As PC World pointed out, this is sure to frustrate users who refuse to wait for Windows 10 updates to drop as well as tech-inclined users who want to create a bootable Windows 10 installer.
Meanwhile, Microsoft continues its efforts to have as many users to switch to Windows 10 as possible. The company is currently offering the games, apps, movies and music on the Windows Store for only 10 cents.
Big movies "Jurassic World," "Mad Max: Fury Road" and "The Dark Knight Rises" are included in this promotion, as well as new songs from Justin Bieber and John Legend.
