I was made aware of this once before but I forgot the monthly Rollup updates include IE11.  Thanks for reminding me.

Since I planned to stay “Group A” (the easy way) and never use “Group B” Security-only updates I never looked at AKB 2000003.  Good to know  IE CUs are there if we ever again run into a situation like we did this month.  If we do  I hope I remember where to find the IE CUs, Thanks for this information.

If by this paragraph you are asking if I use IE, the answer is no. But my understanding is that it is so intertwined in the guts of Windows pre-10, it still needs to be patched.

You are correct on both counts.

1. I made a false assumption wrt you using IE.
2. I agree IE is used by much of win7 and should be kept up to date.  However,  I have no idea how to find them.  (I installed KB5046630 thanks to you mentioning it in your post.)

zat_so,

It has been noted many times above starting,  with #2717204,  that KB5046705 breaks Firefox 115.17.  Thank you for letting us know KB5046705 breaks Firefox 115.18 also.

I am curious about your updates to IE.  I have always been advised to not use it because it is very susceptible to malware attacks.

 

Is the final word that Rollup KDB5046687 will cause problems with Firefox if installed on win7 sp1 x64 machines and therefore should be bypassed for November?

What about .NET 4.8?  Can KB5046258 be safely  installed on these machines?

Why do you say N/A for Win7 .NET 3.5.1?  Why shouldn’t KB5046543 be used?
