Google caused shockwaves yesterday by blocking Android updates for Huawei, the world’s second-largest smartphone manufacturer. Other tech giants are quickly following suit, including Intel and Qualcomm, and now all eyes are on Microsoft.
While Huawei is not as popular on PC, it still has millions of laptops running Microsoft’s Windows 10 platform. Owners of Huawei laptops must now be wondering if Microsoft will block Windows 10 updates on their machines.
Not being able to update your Huawei laptop with the latest updates for Windows 10 would be a major blow for anyone using the devices. Huawei’s laptops are pretty good but if they can no longer be updated, we wouldn’t be able to recommend them.
It would be an odd choice for Microsoft as the company will not want unpatched and updated Windows 10 laptops out in the wild so if the company does block Windows 10 updates and remember this isn’t confirmed either way at the moment, then it would likely be due to pressure from the US government, which has instigated the blacklist of Huawei due to security concerns.
