• What happened to the October patches?

    Just got this from EG

    Hi Woody,

    The last “relevant” post to ask this question in is 3 pages deep now and I’m sure many others have the same question too.

    I realize November’s updates are still being scrutinized but what’s the scoop with the October updates?

    They’re still in Defcon 2 as far as I can see so there’s a BUNCH of “Important” updates sitting in my pending list.

    Any chance you can start a new thread with the status of October’s updates… if nothing else just to let us know they’re not forgotten?

    Thanks Woody!

    On November 5, I opened the gates for October patches. See https://www.askwoody.com/2015/msdefcon-3-windows-office-patched-aware-consequences/

    I’m still very skeptical of the November patches. We’ve already seen two of them re-issued, one that was bricking Outlook on some systems. There aren’t any killer security holes so, as long as you’re not using Internet Explorer, I say hold tight.
