• May 2020 Office non-Security updates are now available

    The May 2020 Office non-Security updates have been released Tuesday, May 5, 2020. They will not included in the DEFCON-3 or greater approval for the April 2020 patches. Unless you have a specific need to install them, you should wait until Susan Bradley (Patch Lady) approves them and any problems have been reported.

    Remember, Susan’s patching sequence and  recommendations are based on a business environment that has IT support and may have time constraints on the updating process. Consumer patching should be more cautious due to limited technical and mechanical resources. The latter is the reason for the AskWoody DEFCON system.
