Microsoft is employing a machine learning algorithm to decide when a particular device should receive a forced update.

What? How could that possibly be beneficial for anyone?

The mistake you've made is thinking that they care about anyone other than themselves. Microslop is a rather fitting nickname.

I’ve been noticing (because of user bug reports) that the security policies are now AI driven. If you haven’t use a feature in x-days or y-reboots or other heuristic, it becomes an application crash the next time an application tries to use that OS feature (such as loading dlls or usb drivers)

This has been said many times over years and even decades, but here goes again: Microsoft doesn't care about users, open source, nothing except their own pocketbooks.

I know the link is weird, wiki seem to have an issue with their name.

Here is the link with the comma and the period html encoded

Some at least recognize that being pro-consumer is better long term.
