February 2022 Patch Tuesday early reports

Posted on February 8, 2022 at 12:31 CST by Susan Bradley • Comment in the Forums

It’s that time of the month again that we wait on news of update side effects. It’s my philosophy that you shouldn’t rush into anything and patching (with very few exceptions) falls into that as well.

This month includes patches for Print spooler (ugh) but it remains to be seen if we’ll see more printer side effects.

So ensure you have (for Windows 10/11) start/settings/update and security/advanced options/pause updates/choose the date of February 22 and then sit back and let’s see how February shakes out. In the meantime here’s a Valentine’s day poem from Kelley Robinson:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Turning on 2FA
Is good for me and you

Links to keep an eye on for those of you that want to dig through the weeds yourself – but as always we’ll be recapping the side effects in the newsletter and Master patch list so you don’t have to wade through all of the weedy stuff.

Reddit’s Patch Tuesday megathread (lots and lots to dig through)
