• Double-print-fixing patches updated, but still only on the Catalog

  If you’re having problems with the double-print bug in MS16-098 — the one we’ve been talking about for three weeks now — the plot’s become even thicker.

  The Catalog-only update, KB 3187022, has just been re-issued, with no explanation.

  The Win10 version 1511 (Fall Update) fix has been posted to the Catalog, KB3186988 (thanks, abbodi86). It’s official title is particularly illuminating: 

  CRITSIT- CATALOG ONLY – Cumulative Update for Windows 10 1511 – KB 3186988 – 2016.08 OOB

  I’ve seen no new information on that unreleased “cumulative” update, KB 3186987.

  Wonder if MS will ever get the problem fixed?

• What’s up with botched security patch fixes KB 3186987 and 3187022?

  If this is the way we’re going to get cumulative update fixes, we’re in a world of hurt.

• There’s a fix for the double-print security bug in Win7 and 8.1 – but not Win10

  A great demonstration of the Achilles’ Heel in “Windows- as-a-Service”

  The congenital Windows 10 penalty.
