Microsoft pulls the Windows 10 November Update

Here’s an interesting story for the weekend -- it seems as if Microsoft has pulled the recently released November Update (aka Threshold 2) from both the Media Creation Tool and Windows Update.

That means if you don’t currently have the update on your Windows 10 device, you won’t be able to download it directly now.

The Media Creation Tool currently serves up Build 10240, rather than Build 10586 (the build which includes the November Update). A newly added line of text says simply: "These downloads cannot be used to update Windows 10 PCs to the November update (Version 1511)".

Similarly, if you try and install things via Windows Update you’ll receive the same build.

There’s no word from Microsoft as to why the November Update has been pulled, and with it being a weekend we likely won’t hear anything until Monday.

It could be an error with the build, or a technical problem with the servers. Either way, it’s a very strange situation. We’ll update this post once we hear back from Microsoft.
