Where we stand with the May 2019 Windows patches
Posted on May 30, 2019 at 03:38 CDT by woody • Comment in the ForumsWhotta mess.
Again.
I was tempted to come up with a list of the days that we had new patches and patches of patches, and finally gave up. You’d be much better off listing the days that we didn’t have screwy patches.
Details in Computerworld Woody on Windows.
I should’ve made this more explicit… I think XP, Vista and Win7 customers (and their related Servers) should patch now, but there’s still no pressing reason to update anything else.
Give it a few more days.
