Due to some kind of cock-up Microsoft have managed to inadvertently send the Windows Desktop Search program out through Windows update. What’s more it was pushed out to be installed through Software Update Services even if the application had never been installed before and SUS was set to only update apps.This obviously has created a lot of problems for many people, since when Windows Desktop Search is installed it will automatically begin indexing the machine’s hard drive drive contents slowing the PC down. Not so bad you might think but when you’re a business who needs machines to work quickly at the start of a working day then it does become an issue.So well done Microsoft, you’ve managed to foul up yet another Windows update casting even more doubt onto the service.

Cheers
