MS-DEFCON 4: Dual-boot computers now safe to patch

ISSUE 21.39.1 • 2024-09-24

By Susan Bradley

In the August updates, Microsoft introduced a bug that impacted Windows users who dual-booted into Windows and Linux.

At first it was thought the bug had not been fixed in the September updates, but upon further investigation, I learned that it had been addressed. Because it is now fixed, I find no reason to delay updates further and am therefore lowering the MS-DEFCON level to 4.

Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (21.39.1, 2024-09-24).
