January 2021 updates are here
So this is the time of the Patch Tuesday that I call “Reading time”. I start reading all the security blogs about patching and start seeing if there are side effects.
I don’t see an official listing for Office patches at this time, I’ll post that when I see it.
So far the items of interest are Defender having a bug that was probably already fixed on your machine.
The .NET patches that really only include optional updates and not NEW security updates which means they may be offered up to you but you don’t have to install them (making them somewhat confusing).
Of more concern to me is once again we have to dig into the details… as Dustin Childs said… ” Again, without executive summaries, we can only speculate the true severity of these bypasses.”
Edit: I STILL see Office 2010 updates out today.
