    PATCH WATCH

    By Susan Bradley

    Is Microsoft trying to win back our love?

    Microsoft may be giving us a Valentine’s Day patching reprieve: this month, we have no critical bugs being patched. Everyone, from home users to small-business users to large enterprises, can take a bit of a breather.

    The Windows Update releases this month include 70 vulnerabilities, none of which has any known exploits. For businesses, there are no Exchange patches to worry about. I therefore consider this a bit of a “cleanup” month, especially for anyone who skipped the January updates that caused so many side effects and concerns.

    Updates to .NET include security updates for 5.0.211, 5.0.405, and 6.0.102 — but not for older releases such as 4.8 and other earlier versions. However, you may still see these versions offered to your systems.
