微软发布第二次“最终”Windows7更新

#大学英语听力# Microsoft has issued a fresh update for Windows 7, just days after it said it would provide no more patches for the ageing operating system.

微软(Microsoft)发布了Windows7的最新更新，就在几天前，微软表示将不再为老化的操作系统提供更多补丁。

It made the U-turn after it emerged there was a bug in its "final" patch.

在它的“最后”补丁出现错误后，它做出了180度的大转弯。

It caused "wallpaper issues" for users who configured their computers with the stretch option for their background desktop, causing a plain black screen to be shown when Windows was restarted.

对于使用背景桌面的拉伸选项配置计算机的用户来说，这会导致“墙纸问题”，导致Windows重新启动时显示纯黑屏。

And users took to Reddit and demanding a fix.

用户在Reddit上要求修复。

Security consultant Graham Cluley "That didn't take long. Microsoft backs down on 'no more updates for Windows 7' in order to fix stretched wallpaper bug."

安全顾问格雷厄姆·克鲁利(Graham Cluley)“这并没有花很长时间。微软放弃了‘Windows7不再更新’的做法，以修复拉伸的壁纸错误。”

Initially, Microsoft said it would issue the new fix only to those who subscribed to its extended security updates (ESU) program.

最初，微软表示，它将只向订阅其扩展安全更新(ESU)计划的用户发布新的修复程序。

But later it said: "We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release, which will be released to all customers running Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1."

但后来它说：“我们正在制定解决方案，并将在即将发布的版本中提供更新，该版本将向所有运行Windows7和Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1的客户发布。”

Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 7 on 14 January, although ESU subscribers will continue to receive security updates.

微软于1月14日正式终止了对Windows7的支持，尽管ESU订阅者将继续收到安全更新。

One in four Windows users is still running Windows 7, according to measurement website StatCounter.
