• MS-DEFCON 2: Make sure you have Automatic Update turned off

    Posted on June 14, 2016 at 05:42 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Patch Tuesday is here. Time to make sure all of your doors are locked.

    Make sure you have your Vista, Win7 and 8.1 Windows Update set to “Notify but don’t download” or “Don’t check.”  If your Windows 10 machine is set up with a Wi-Fi connection, set it to a metered connection. To do all of that, see the Automatic Update tab above.

    Back to MS-DEFCON 2: Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don’t do it.
