  So right now, go to Settings | System | About to check your version of Windows 11. If your version is 22H2 and your edition is Home or Pro, security updates will cease less than a month from now.

  Here’s what Microsoft had to say about this via the Windows Admin portal.

  ISSUE 21.35.1 • 2024-08-27

  

  By Susan Bradley

  Secure Boot is causing — once again — side effects for Windows patchers.

  The August updates are triggering issues for those who dual-boot into Linux. Because this is unlikely to affect very many users, and because the IPv6 bug I alerted you to ten days ago is now well understood, I feel that lowering the MS-DEFCON level to 4 is safe.

  That assumes you do not ignore the IPv6 matter.

  Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (21.35.1, 2024-08-27).
