  • January 2025 patches get released

    Posted on January 14, 2025 at 12:25 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    It’s the first of the year and the start of our ten month countdown to end of support (but not end of using) Windows 10. Today’s updates include the following:

    Windows 10 22H2 – KB5049981 – also includes an update to the Windows Kernel vulnerable driver blocklist.

    Windows 11 23H2 – KB5050021  – This update adds to the list of drivers that are at risk for Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks.

    Windows 11 24H2 – KB5050009 As a reminder I am still not officially recommending using or installing 24H2. I know many of you have but I still have reservations for consumers, gaming platforms and some business uses.

    Citrix has documented issue, including a workaround which can be performed prior to installing the January 2025 Windows security update. For details, see Microsoft’s January Security Update Fails/Reverts on a machine with 2411 Session Recording Agent.

    Next steps: Microsoft is working with Citrix to address this issue and will update this documentation once a resolution is available.

    Just a reminder, I do not recommend installing updates at this time, we are now in test mode.

    For Apple, I do recommend installing iOS 18.2.1 released on January 6th.
