It’s a long, sad list.

That said, I don’t see any show-stoppers. Do you?

A warning about this month’s security patches

If you can’t avoid Word’s “Enable Editing” button, you’re better off installing this month’s .NET patches right now. If you’re running Win10, yes, that means you need to install the cumulative updates – bugs and all.

Of course, the smarter alternative is to just cut off your clicking finger.

It’s a damned-if-you-do situation, but in this case – if you can’t keep from clicking “Enable Editing” – you’re better off installing the patch(es) and dealing with the bugs later.
