Hi, Folks!
Today is Patch Tuesday for June 2019 and it’s a big one.
The typical computer should see roughly 1.1 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.
Microsoft released updates for Windows, .NET, Edge, Internet Explorer, Flash, Dynamic Update, POSReady and MSRT (~2 GB). This includes security updates. A reboot is required.
Apple released updates for iOS 12.3.2, iCloud for Windows 7.12, iTunes for Windows 12.9.5, AirPort Base Station Firmware 7.9.1, and macOS Mojave 10.14.5 Supplemental Update. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install the most current versions.
iOS 12.3.2 is a security update. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.
Adobe Flash Player 32.0.0.207 is a security update.
Win: https://12pd.com/click?flash
Win: https://12pd.com/click?flashie
Mac: https://12pd.com/click?flashmac
Google Chrome OS 74.0.3729.159 is a security update. Use Menu, Help, About to install the most current version. A reboot is required.
Don’t forget to check your mobile devices, too! Many updates will also apply to your tablet, phone, kindle or television – so check your device-appropriate App Store and install updates.
Important Notes
Everything above this section should be checked by everyone on every computer. Chances are good that close to every single computer you touch will be affected by those updates. This is not the case with the items below, though you should still check each line item below to see if it applies to software you have installed.
The now-current release of Windows 10 (1903) will cause your computer to feel unusually slow until it is installed. This is a side-effect of the Windows 10 upgrade cycle, which pushes out 3-6 GB through Windows update to get you to the latest Windows 10 release every 6 months. If you don’t let it finish and you’re on a slow connection, it will kill your Internet performance forever. If you don’t have the bandwidth to download the bits, I’m happy to provide loaner USB drives to our local clients, or, if you prefer to have me mail it to you please contact me for information.
Please remember that while I list many different applications within these updates, most people should ONLY install updates for a program if they already have a previous version of that program installed.
It is essential to maintain all the applications you have installed on your computer, but often you can minimize the time investment and the potential for exploitation simply by uninstalling software you do not need or use, reducing the attack surface.
Also note that using the applications own “check for updates” function, when available, will best preserve your current settings, and often avoid any crapware that might come with a fresh installer. Use this option if it’s available to you.
Finally, if you’re sick of doing this all yourself, let me! Call or email me any time, and we can set you up with subscription SaferPC updates which will be installed each month whenever necessary. Click, call or email for more details:
