Microsoft last night released a flood of unexpected patches. Yes, that\u2019s a Thursday night dump. No, there weren\u2019t any pressing security fixes \u2013 at least, none that were advertised. I have no idea why Microsoft\u2019s pushing this offal out the Automatic Update chute.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to a scattering of Preview patches for Win7, 8.1 and Server 2002 \u2013 which are usually posted on the third \u201cWeek C\u201d Tuesday of the month \u2013 and the Surface Pro 3 firmware patch that was <\/span>announced, but not delivered<\/span><\/a>, Wednesday, we have two new cumulative updates: one for Win10 Anniversary Update (version 1607) and one for Win10 Creators Update (version 1703). Susan Bradley has a <\/span>full list with links<\/span><\/a> on the AskWoody site.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two cumulative updates are:<\/span><\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t at all clear why there\u2019s no fix for Win10 Fall Creators Update, version 1709. That\u2019s the Windows version that had <\/span>all sorts of problems <\/span><\/a>with this month\u2019s first round of cumulative updates.<\/span><\/p>\n

The expectation is<\/a> that a similar big cumulative update for 1709 is due any time now \u2013 possibly today or next Tuesday. I have no idea if it\u2019ll have security components, but it sure as shootin\u2019 better fix the USB problems widely reported with last week\u2019s cumulative update.<\/span><\/p>\n

As of last night, these patches hadn\u2019t apparently been sent out to WSUS servers, but they were<\/em> available through Windows Update. In fact, if you have Automatic Update turned on, you may have received the patches overnight. Lucky you.<\/span><\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve said, it\u2019s still <\/span>too early to install the February patches<\/span><\/a>, unless you\u2019re very concerned about drive-by infections in Outlook 2007, 2010, 2013 or 2016. <\/span><\/p>\n

And once again, for emphasis, there are no known Meltdown\/Spectre exploits in the wild. None.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thx @abbodi86, SB<\/span><\/p>\n
