There's a recent Windows feature called Known Issue Rollback (KIR) that you would have to opt into using Group Policy, which might soon address an anticipated snafu like this, once it's become apparent after deployment:

Here's last month's article from the same author giving an example of how KIR can be used to mitigate a video showstopper at the time:

My follow-up consisted of following the journalist back, and that might give an idea about what he had in mind.

That's awesome. Both the feature and you leading by example.

Thank you!

That assumes that the company lets journalist talk to non marketing people.

The term might in marketing department vetted communications often cover over "the techies droned out for 10 minutes using words we did not understand" and few large brands feel that comfortable letting anyone not under some kind of confidentiality agreement talk to anyone in the technical teams.

Everything seems to be from the linked text source so I doubt the journalist actually got to interact with Microsoft at all.
