Windows 11 is officially vulnerable
Posted on October 18, 2021 at 02:41 CDT by Susan Bradley • Comment in the ForumsPATCH WATCH
By Susan Bradley
Call me silly, but I never consider a Windows release as “official” until the first security updates come down on Patch Tuesday.
Windows 11 has 39 vulnerabilities; two of the fixes are deemed critical and 37 are important. KB5006674 also includes several fixes that, according to reports, impact performance on specific computers.
Read the full story in the AskWoody Plus Newsletter 18.40.0 (2021-10-18).
