MS-DEFCON 3: Win10 customers should install March updates, but Win7 victims have some soul searching
Posted on April 6, 2018 at 15:18 CDT by woody • Comment in the ForumsLooks like the March patches for Windows 10 have finally sorted themselves out, but if you’re running 64-bit Windows 7 you have some soul-searching in store. Get patched now, but watch out for the bonfire. Bonfires.
