Here's the difference: Disabling Windows Updates = Windows updates are disabled altogether, so the machine will not get any Windows Updates period (Windows Update service is probably disabled in this scenario) Disabling Automatic Updates = It's still running wuauserv (Window Update Service), but it's not automatically pulling down and installing the updates as they become available. It will rely on manual intervention or another service to manage its updates.

New patch is up. Thanks again to everyone who's provided good insight into these patches as they have been released.

Thanks! I've updated the front page.

Patch 6 was officially released on Thursday. There was definitely some miscommunication around its release, but it's officially here now... though patch 7 should be right on its coat tails.

Yeah, this patch has really sweetened the pot with its features which makes it very difficult to avoid. Ignore the Sirens' call. What's beautiful at a distance is an ugly vicious monster up close.

@maxgruv It might not be fair for me to assume this, but I'm always weary of patches that are released late... especially when there are a ton of revisions. You're not the only one that has been experiencing issues. I labeled 2020.5 as semi-unstable right out of the gate for a reason. I'm hoping the next patch is better.

@Liquidfox Thanks for the info. I've added the bug to the front page. I've seen several people in Slack complaining about probe related issues in 2020.5

Patch 2020.4 added You know the drill - Post any issues/problems you might have to keep us all in the loop. Thanks again everyone!

@leebaxter I don't know if anyone has gotten with you on this, but we are in the same boat. We use SSO for the Web CC and we use DUO for the thick client (desktop CC). Google Auth would would work the same way. Let me know if you have any questions getting it set up and I'll be happy to work with you on it.
