• Playing catch-up with Windows and Office patches

    Posted on June 12, 2017 at 16:47 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Patch Tuesday is just around the corner, and many of you are confused about which patches to install, which to avoid. Here’s a simple list:

    • If you haven’t patched your machine in many months, get it patched. Now.
    • If you haven’t applied MS17-010, do it now.

    As long as you’ve applied the March patches, or later, I don’t see any pressing reason to break the usual MS-DEFCON 2 admonition: Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don’t do it.

    We’re going to get quite a slew of new patches on Tuesday. Patience. Let’s see how they turn out.
