  • MS-DEFCON 4: A perfect calm before the next patching storm

    Posted on December 7, 2018 at 11:44 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    Well, not literally perfect, but pretty close. Get your patches installed.

    There’s a new Flash update, KB 4471331, that you need (if it appears in your Windows Update list) and a new KB 4023057 that you don’t want.

    Last month’s tactic of setting Win10 Pro “quality update” (cumulative update) deferrals to 15 days seems to be working well. If you followed my advice last month, you already have your patches, and everything should be fine. You don’t need to lift a finger.

    We’re at MS-DEFCON 4: There are isolated problems with current patches, but they are well-known and documented here. Check this site to see if you’re affected and if things look OK, go ahead and patch.
