MS-DEFCON 2: Seven months and counting

ISSUE 22.13.1 • 2025-04-03

By Susan Bradley

It’s time to put a pause on updates as I sort out developments from this coming Patch Tuesday.

Therefore, I’m raising the MS-DEFCON level to 2.

The security updates coming next week include all supported Windows platforms, including Windows 10. Seven months may seem like a lot, but time flies. Given that time is needed to prepare for the end of Windows 10 updates, it’s better to think that a mere three months are left.

Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (22.13.1, 2025-04-03).
