However, many users are convinced that KB3150513 is nothing more but a spy tool. Also, the fact that the update doesn’t appear on the Windows Update list reinforces this belief for many users.

This update provides the latest set of definitions for compatibility diagnostics that are performed on the system. The updated definitions will help enable Microsoft and its partners to ensure compatibility for all customers who want to install the latest Windows operating system. Installing this update also makes sure that the latest Windows operating system version is correctly offered through Windows Update, based on compatibility results.
