The Automatic Update settings (that is, Automatically download and install, Download but let me choose when to install, Notify but don’t download, or Never check) work as they always have.

Six weeks ago, Microsoft product manager Nathan Mercer kicked off a long discussion about new directions for patching Windows 7 and 8.1, and Server 2012 R2, starting in October.

The upshot: Windows 7 and 8.1 will no longer receive individual patches.
With the majority of organizations still holding off upgrading their fleets to Window 10, this “patchocalpyse” may have significant impact if you’re not prepared for the sticky details. October marks a watershed in Microsoft patching practices for Windows 7 and 8.1, and confusion reigns supreme.
