KB2952664 was published on April 22, 2014 and appears in my Windows Update List (I am running Windows 7 Pro - 64 bit).
The description of this update is vague: "This update helps Microsoft make improvements to the current operating system in order to ease the upgrade experience to the latest version of Windows."
Anyone have more information on what this update actually does? If its sole purpose is to ease the "upgrade" from Windows 7 to Windows 8 (or 8.1 or 8.1 update), then I'll just permanently hide KB2952664 (I have no desire or intention to "upgrade" my Windows 7 system to any flavor of Windows 8).
If its purpose is to ease what would be a true Windows 7 upgrade to a yet-to-be-announced Windows 7 SP2, then I'll keep it (but still would like to have more information about what KB2952664 actually does before installing).
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
This patch just appeared in my Windows Update today. Since I'm planning on upgrading to Windows 10 eventually, if not in the first couple of weeks I will install it.
It sure would be nice if Microsoft gave deatails about these updates (what does it do? what does it fix? what is it for?) in the 'More Information'. That link never give you any information worthwhile.
To me it looks like as if Microsoft has began a war against Windows users. :-(
Yes it's in preparation for Windows !0. I intend on using on another Hard Drive if possible
Yes, it came within June 2015 update pack.
It's a bad omen for those of us who don't want it and have to keep hiding it, as they seem to be increasing the frequency with which they are trying to sneak it past those of us who don't want it and have to keep hiding it.
If you've already installed it and still get it as an available update, I don't know if that's a bad omen, but I can't imagine how it could be a good one - updates that are already installed are generally not offered again, because they're already installed. Curiouser and curiouser...
