Edit: it's not clear to me how much responsibility lies with 3rd party update management tool and how much with Microsoft. This update doesn't seem to automatically run by itself, but it might be misclassified so that these tools think it's a security update and just deploy like any other patch.
What I'm most surprised by myself is that there doesn't seem to be an option to revert this according to the comments. I'm pretty sure consumer Windows allows downgrades for upgrades installed in this manner, I can't imagine the pain it'd be to need to manually undo all the damage after an unintended upgrade using automated tooling!
Honestly, I guess since it's an SMB it might make sense that they aren't able to test all patches before applying them in production, but you'd hope they'd delay the installation for a few days to let others catch major issues.
Not a Windows version and unfamiliar with how it works.
>> as the GUID for the Windows Server 2025 upgrade does not match the usual entries for KB5044284 associated with Windows 11. This appears to be an error on Microsoft's side
Shall Microsoft now provide the missing license ?
I hated the boss of DevOps team and they hated me. Greatest thing to ever happen to me.

He wanted to put me on-call with no pay increase, wanted eight Cassandra servers for no reason. All this other crap because he had herd buzz words.
They were trying to brown nose the position of the CTO as at the time the company had none.

It would be a good horror story for halloween, but that was last week…
I don't really understand why there are so many commercial third party tools being used to do basic things. But they cost a good amount of money and cause a lot of problems.
In the absence of Heimdall 2022 Server doesn't install it along with other security updates.
Also given other peoples experiences in this comment section, that doesn't seem to be true.

A similar thing happened to me last month. My Ubuntu server suddenly started showing a countdown, warning that my firewall was blocking Canonical's ‘essential data’ pings and threatened to revoke my apt privileges. I gave it a pass-through, but the next day, it upgraded itself to Ubuntu Galactic Cosmic and replaced all my bash scripts with PowerShell. Still getting used to the mandatory Snap packages for 'ls' and 'cat' now…
