Microsoft Issues New Windows 10 Upgrade Warning
 
First spotted by Windows Latest, Microsoft has issued a warning to users that its new security update (CVE-2019-2102) will “intentionally” break certain Bluetooth devices, including crucial hardware like security fobs forcing them to upgrade. Microsoft states it will push this update to all versions of Windows 10 as well as Windows 8.1. so there's no escaping it.

“You may experience issues pairing, connecting or using certain Bluetooth devices after installing security updates released June 11, 2019,” the company states. “These security updates address a security vulnerability by intentionally preventing connections from Windows to unsecure Bluetooth devices. Any device using well-known keys to encrypt connections may be affected, including certain security fobs.”

Hopefully they get this fixed in a timely manner and not break something else.

    I wonder if Microsoft intends for the Bluetooth manufacturer to secure their devices.

    That's what it sounds like.

    I don't think that they broke it. I think it's more of them trying to keep Windows secure. Probably found a security flaw that they are fixing by not allowing access to Windows from unsecure devices.

    Microsoft is Forcing insecure Bluetooth devices to be updated by the Bluetooth Mfg - this may force users to buy new hardware if the Mfg decide Not to update firmware to address the security concern

    Or it may force us to install 1809 and disable any and all updates. I am tired of MS and their updates causing issues.

    yeah, not a fan.

    Forced updates are absolutely garbage...along with game launchers...they should be eschewed.

    So, Microsoft patches now are treated like weather? Do you know the difference between a Windows 10 Upgrade Warning and Windows 10 Upgrade Watch?
