Senior accidentally installed whole fleet with 26H1
Just needed to rant a little. One of our seniors finally completed the long-pending task of upgrading the fleet to Windows 11 from Windows 10. He downloaded the iso, installed it everywhere. All good. Until the internal WSUS started attempting to grab updates that don't exist. Apparently the 26H1 (w…
