The January Windows and Office patches are good to go

Credit to Author: Woody Leonhard| Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2019 09:15:00 -0800

Compared to some months last year, January has been a Microsoft patching cakewalk. We had several rounds of close calls and missed calls, as I posted earlier this week, but almost everything is cleared up.

We’ve seen a few more problems raise their ugly heads in the past few days:

Microsoft has confirmed that the latest version of Office Click-to-Run (which you’re likely using if you have Office 365) makes the conversation window disappear in Skype for Business 2016.
The Windows 8.1 Monthly Rollup, KB 4480963, breaks the Live Migration feature on older AMD Opteron machines. We’re still waiting for confirmation on that one.
Citrix confirms (but Microsoft hasn’t acknowledged) that the latest Win10 1803 cumulative update, KB 4480976, causes page file problems when the page file isn’t sitting on C:. More details on Tenforums.

Those are typical Microsoft edge-use bugs: They don’t affect many people, but if you’re one of the stuckees, you’re up the ol’ creek.

Microsoft Patch Alert: January patches include a reprisal of KB 4023057 and a swarm of lesser bugs

Credit to Author: Woody Leonhard| Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2019 09:12:00 -0800

In general, the January patches look relatively benign, but for some folks in some situations they can bite. Hard.

On the surface we’ve seen the usual Patch Tuesday Cumulative Updates and secondary Cumulative Updates for all versions of Windows 10. Microsoft calls the secondary Cumulative Updates “optional” because you only get them if you click “Check for updates.”

Windows 7 and 8.1 got their usual Monthly Rollups, but there’s a problem. Specifically, this month’s Win7 Monthly Rollup has a couple of bugs that are only fixed if you install the preview of February’s Monthly Rollup. Which makes no sense at all, but that’s Microsoft. There’s another Win7 Monthly Rollup bug that’s fixed by installing a different “silver bullet” patch.

Microsoft permite que los usuarios prueben las actualizaciones que no sean de seguridad antes del martes de parches

Microsoft instalará parches “no de seguridad” en los equipos Windows con anterioridad al martes de parches, si los usuarios seleccionan una nueva opción no particularmente descriptiva, en Windows Update. La empresa explicó la nueva opción “Buscar actualizaciones” en Windows 10 en una entrada de su blog, pero dejó a algunos preocupados sobre si los usuarios […]<img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sophos/dgdY/~4/CEyhbeK3siE” height=”1″ width=”1″ alt=””/>
