I’ve updated the master patch list here.  Please note I am not recommending installing updates at this time, we are just testing and reporting. I’ll be updating that page and monitoring for issues. So far there is a known issue that Microsoft is holding back updates for certain Dell machines that will have issues. It’s expected […]

Today is the day that a certain security researcher was supposed to drop something awful on the Windows ecosystem. It’s unclear to me if the “awful thing” has yet to be dropped or if it’s already been patched behind the scenes. Bottom line today is just like every other normal release date. We need to […]

ON SECURITY By Susan Bradley If you are a Windows 11 owner, it’s wise to review your security practices on a regular basis. Recently, I’ve come across a new tool that you may want to check out. The advantage? It uses only official Microsoft built-in techniques that are documented and approved. In addition, it comes […]

The secure boot deadline day came and went and I don’t see massive gnashing of teeth, nor screams of computers not booting. That doesn’t mean I don’t see IT admins still working through issues about getting these certificates installed, but for consumers, your systems still worked just fine.

This month Microsoft released a record number of vulnerabilities.  208 in fact. We are on track to have a bumper crop of vulnerabilities. Is the reason we are having so many identified due to artificial intelligence? There’s no detail as to how the vulnerabilities were identified. The currently exploited bug in the form of CVE-2026-41091 […]

Chrome has had a zero day patched yesterday.  We had Microsoft Build last week (gee golly AI agents I can hardly wait), and Apple is also having their developer conference this week where AI is now in the search on Safari. Meanwhile in the real world of real users using actual operating systems, just a […]

Microsoft has a post geared towards businesses setting the expectations regarding an expected bumper crop of vulnerability disclosures that are expected as a result of AI tools. We’ve already seen the impact on Apple. We will see more CVE’s (or vulnerability counts) per month, but I don’t foresee that we will get more patches. Mind […]

I’ve updated the master patch list here.  Please note I am not recommending installing updates at this time, we are just testing and reporting. As I wrote on that page: Too early to tell if there are issues this month.  So far the most interesting thing is seeing some folks report seeing two extra updates on […]

Up first […]
