How come I've just got a Windows 7 Quality Rollup preview?

I thought Windows 7 support had ended, but this update is dated 7/2/2020...

Microsoft is attempting to fix some assorted screw-ups in the so-called Final Update, I suspect.
Their generosity knows no bounds!

The final quality rollup was in January. 
What's the KB number of the update you received?

When I read those posts, I felt hard done by as I have not had updates today ................. then I remembered I'd changed both my machines to Win10!!

There will be the odd security update that can cause security issues for other windows users.
XP had a few updates long after its EOL date.

This is related to the issue of users' wallpaper appearing black when stretching an image.  This bug was introduced in a recent security fix.

I'd recommend not installing previews -- they are intended for testing and feedback before the "fully tested" version is released.
