Yesterday was patch Tuesday, and it was a doozie for Windows. The Microsoft Security Update Guide shows a massive 1413 vulnerabilities being addressed by this update, 1192 of them being just for Windows itself. Office comes in second with 134. A lot of this is due to AI working to find any and all vulnerabilities across the board, even if they are extremely minor or very old. But, it’s good to have those patched ASAP. Now for the tough part – testing it with millions of different pieces of hardware. With this many updates, it’s typically caused some issues for some people and the recent track record with Microsoft Updates has been pretty sketchy for a subset of users.
