Updates 2025-11-11

Posted on by

Happy Veteran’s Day, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for November, 2025.

If your Windows 10 computer can not be upgraded to Windows 11 then you should either replace your device or use the Windows 10 ESU program to get another year out of it.

Windows 11 25H2 is now available and Windows 11 23H2 and older are no longer supported. Treat Windows 11 25H2 as beta software and wait a few months before upgrading.

macOS 26 Tahoe is now available and macOS 13 Ventura and older are no longer supported. Treat macOS 26 as beta software and wait a few months before upgrading.

There were 750+ major hacks, and over 650 application updates this month. It’s a relatively small month, with about 4.0 GB of updates for most users.

Amazon Web Services (AWS US-EAST-1), Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure (more than once), Microsoft Security Response Center, and YouTube have suffered from outages this month.

Internet access throughout Bermuda, Cameroon, Dominican Republic, Italy, Jamaica, Kenya, Pakistan, Philippines, Tanzania, and Ukraine has been blocked our down for extended periods.

Last months updates broke Cisco Duo, HP OneAgent / Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), Microsoft Outlook, smart card authentication, sprotect.sys compatibility, USB mouse and keyboard in WinRE, wallpaper managers, Windows 11 Media Creation Tool, Windows Task Manager and Start menu, and the Windows Update Hotpatch service.

There’s a new type of worm out there. GlassWorm uses a combination of Solana, UTF-concealed code, and remote access trojans to ensure that it’s impossible to shut down or kill from the top-down while still being fully manageable by the people behind it. In addition, it uses compromised developer accounts to propagate by uploading itself to their repositories in order to grow the botnet to new audiences. This signals the first major use of these three aspects in combination and the first software of its kind to operate with no centralized command-and-control server. This evolution is going to cause a massive change in how we deal with security incidents and how we protect our devices.

Half of all the satellites in orbit are exposing your information in clear text.

Nearly 2 billion accounts from hundreds of thousands of different platforms have been disclosed in a credential stuffing database (Synthient). While this appears to mostly be the result of stealer logs (the result of hacked devices), there is a lot of duplication in the data which demonstrates a lot of password re-use and thus a high chance of other accounts being abused as a result.

The boss of a defense contractor, Trenchant, has been selling exploits to foreign governments.

The Louvre Museum security system was “hacked” in order to enable thieves to steal the crown jewels. It’s hardly hacking when the password was so stupid.

“Beware that, when fighting monsters,
you yourself do not become a monster.”

Now for the good news:

SpaceX disabled 2,500 Starlink terminals in Asia to curb their use by scammers.

Let’s Get Busy

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Patch Tuesday is relatively small this month. The typical computer should see roughly  4.0 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released 41 updates to address 68 vulnerabilities in Azure Monitor Agent, Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP), Dynamics 365 Field Service (online), GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code, Host Process for Windows Tasks, Microsoft Configuration Manager, Microsoft Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Graphics Component, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office SharePoint, Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Streaming Service, Microsoft Wireless Provisioning System, Multimedia Class Scheduler Service (MMCSS), Nuance PowerScribe, OneDrive for Android, SQL Server, Storvsp.sys Driver, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code CoPilot Chat Extension, Windows Administrator Protection, Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock, Windows Bluetooth RFCOM Protocol Driver, Windows Broadcast DVR User Service, Windows Client-Side Caching (CSC) Service, Windows Common Log File System Driver, Windows DirectX, Windows Hyper-V, Windows Kerberos, Windows Kernel, Windows License Manager, Windows OLE, Windows Remote Desktop, Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), Windows Smart Card, Windows Speech, Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI, Windows TDX.sys, Windows WLAN Service, and MSRT. This includes security updates. A reboot is required.

Oracle released 374 security updates this quarter to address 170 vulnerabilities in 29 product lines.

Apple released updates for iOS 18.7.2, iOS 26.1, iPadOS 18.7.2, iPadOS 26.1, macOS Sequoia 15.7.2, macOS Sonoma 14.8.2, macOS Tahoe 26.1, Safari 26.1, tvOS 26.1, visionOS 26.1, watchOS 26.1, and Xcode 26.1. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install the most current versions.

iOS 18.7.2 and 26.1 are security updates. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.

iPadOS 18.7.2 and 26.1 are security updates. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.

watchOS 26.1 is a security update. Use the Watch app on your iPhone to install the most current version.

tvOS 26.1 is a security update. Use System, Software Update to install the most current version.

visionOS 26.1 is a security update. Use System, Software Update to install the most current version.

Google ChromeOS 141.0.7390.115 and ChromeOS LTS 138.0.7204.296 are security updates. Use Menu, Help, About to install the most current version. A reboot is required.

Fedora 43 updates libraries, adds Hare support, changes UEFI+MBR requirements, and enables automatic updates. This is not a security update.

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 release of macOS Tahoe (26.x) means that macOS Ventura (13.x) and older are no longer supported. If you can not install at least macOS Sonoma (14) on your Mac then you should immediately remove your device from the Internet and use it offline only. It will no longer receive patches or updates and can now no longer be secured.

The current — and final — release of the Windows 10 (v22H2) is end of life (EOL). All non-LTS versions of Windows 10 without ESU are now out of support, with the sole alternatives being to upgrade to Windows 11 or enable Extended Service Updates (ESU). If you aren’t sure whether you are using LTS, you aren’t. Enable the ESU now.

The current release of the Windows 11 (v25H2) is very large (30% larger than any previous release) so will take a long time to download on slower connections. Windows 11 pushes you to get the latest Windows 11 release every 12 months and only supports any consumer builds for 24 months. If you don’t let it finish and you’re on a slow connection, this process 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.

Windows 11 is now stable and can be upgraded to if your hardware supports it. If not, switch to Linux (Mint is nice) or replace your computer.

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. This includes “free” applications like Avast, OpenOffice, drivers for hardware you’re not using (like old printers), and games you do not actually play.

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.

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 a SaferPC Subscription and we will install updates each month whenever necessary. Click, call or email for more details:

Updates 2025-08-12

Posted on by

Welcome back, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for August, 2025.

It’s as safe as it’s going to be to upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 or macOS 15/Sequoia.

If your Windows 10 computer can not be upgraded to Windows 11, or if you used a registry or installation bypass to install an older version of Windows 11 on it that is no longer supported, then you might be able to use one of the several Windows 10 extended servicing options to get another year out of it.

There were 1150+ major hacks in the last two months (last month is included here), and over 650 application updates this month. It’s an enormous month, with about 6.5 GB of updates for most users.

Apple iCloud, Cloudflare, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365 admin center, National Bank of Canada, Spectrum, Starlink, Truth Social, and X (formerly Twitter), twice, have suffered from outages this month.

Internet access throughout Angola, Egypt, Gaza, Iran (repeatedly), Iraq, Kamchatka, Russia, Kenya, Maldives, Panama, Sudan, Togo, Ukraine, and Yemen have been blocked or down for days, but not in Israel.

Last months updates broke DHCP on Windows Server, Exchange Online, Google Chrome (via Microsoft Family Safety), Microsoft Print to PDF, Nobitex, Outlook, Surface Hub v1, Veeam Recovery Orchestrator, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS),  and Windows when Easy Anti-Cheat was installed.

Intel is killing off Clear Linux OS. AOL is killing off it’s dial-up Internet service. It’s really no surprise considering phone lines don’t even exist anymore. Microsoft is killing off the Movies & TV storefront – once the apple in the eye of their online media strategy for Windows. Smarthome company goes bankrupt, new owner ransoms everyone’s house: $5000 bounty to crack firmware! Skype is dead (and hacked), there’s better options.

Ads are so much more evil than you realize. Win11 nagware is already installed on many win10 computers. The state of California sent residents’ personal health data to LinkedIn. Hidden in-chip operating systems can’t be tracked, controlled or managed – or secured.

Perplexity AI ignores website requests to not scrape them.

Apple hit with a new antitrust lawsuit by Proton over iOS monopoly

In article exposing the evils of allowing AI to access your private data, the author shows you how an “evil” AI can access your Google account data (used to feed Google’s AI), and probably wrote his draft in Microsoft Word (feeding his data to Microsoft’s AI), to publish his article on the public Internet (feeding every other AI). While I agree with the premise – don’t feed the beast – it’s such a tiny ridiculous example of how data is sucked up by third parties that use it for their own purposes. The world we live in never ceases to amaze.

Now for the good news:

Sometimes, persistence pays off.

Let’s Get Busy

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Patch Tuesday is enormous this month. The typical computer should see roughly 6.5 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released 57 updates to address 119 vulnerabilities in Azure File Sync, Azure OpenAI, Azure Portal, Azure Stack, Azure Virtual Machines, Desktop Windows Manager, GitHub Copilot, Graphics Kernel, Kernel Streaming WOW Thunk Service Driver, Kernel Transaction Manager, Microsoft 365 Copilot’s Business Chat, Microsoft Brokering File System, Microsoft Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Microsoft Edge for Android, Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Graphics Component, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office PowerPoint, Microsoft Office SharePoint, Microsoft Office Visio, Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Teams, Remote Access Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) EAP-TLS, Remote Desktop Server, SQL Server, Storage Port Driver, Visual Studio, Web Deploy, Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock, Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver, Windows Connected Devices Platform Service, Windows DirectX, Windows Distributed Transaction Coordinator, Windows File Explorer, Windows GDI+, Windows Hyper-V, Windows Installer, Windows Kerberos, Windows Kernel, Windows Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS), Windows Media, Windows Message Queuing, Windows NT OS Kernel, Windows NTFS, Windows NTLM, Windows PrintWorkflowUserSvc, Windows Push Notifications, Windows Remote Desktop Services, Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), Windows Security App, Windows SMB, Windows StateRepository API, Windows Subsystem for Linux, Windows Win32K – GRFX, Windows Win32K – ICOMP,
and MSRT. This includes security updates. A reboot is required.

Oracle released 238 security updates this quarter to address 309 vulnerabilities in 111 products.

Apple released updates for iOS 18.6, iPadOS 17.7.9, iPadOS 18.6, macOS Sequoia 15.6, macOS Sonoma 14.7.7, macOS Ventura 13.7.7, Safari 18.6, tvOS 18.6, visionOS 2.6, and watchOS 11.6. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install the most current versions.

iOS 18.6 is a security update. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.

iPadOS 18.6 and 17.7.9 are security updates. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.

watchOS 11.6 is a security update. Use the Watch app on your iPhone to install the most current version.

tvOS 18.6 are security updates. Use System, Software Update to install the most current version.

visionOS 2.6 are security updates. Use System, Software Update to install the most current version.

Google ChromeOS 138.0.7204.232 and ChromeOS LTS 138.0.7204.221 are security updates. 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 release of macOS Sequoia (15.x) means that macOS Monterey (12.x) and older are no longer supported. If you can not install at least macOS Ventura (13) on your Mac then you should immediately remove your device from the Internet and use it offline only. It will no longer receive patches or updates and can now no longer be secured.

The now-current — and final — release of the Windows 10 (v22H2) is very large so will take a long time to download on slower connections. All non-LTS versions of Windows 10 other than v22H2 are now out of support, upgrade to v22H2 now. If you aren’t sure whether you are using LTS, you aren’t. If you don’t let it finish and you’re on a slow connection, this process 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.

The now-current release of the Windows 11 (v24H2) is very large so will take a long time to download on slower connections. Windows 11 pushes you to get the latest Windows 11 release every 12 months and only supports any consumer builds for 24 months. If you don’t let it finish and you’re on a slow connection, this process 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.

Windows 11 is now stable and can be upgraded to if your hardware supports it. If not, switch to Linux (Mint is nice) or replace your computer.

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. This includes “free” applications like Avast, OpenOffice, and games you do not actually play.

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 a SaferPC Subscription and we will install updates each month whenever necessary. Click, call or email for more details:

Updates 2015-12-08

Posted on by

Hi, Folks!

It’s Patch Tuesday! The typical computer should see roughly 250mb in updates today. Let’s get started.

Windows 10 is about as stable as it’s going to get. Next month it will be switched from an “optional” update to an “important” update for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, which means that it will attempt to automatically install whenever you install updates (and sometimes just for fun at 3am) and will also download (~3gb!) whether or not you plan to install it. The privacy controls for some features are buried in places most people won’t look, and the defaults for some options are very insecure. My recommendation is to make some time to install it. Immediately after installation go to All Settings and review every single option. If you have problems with Windows 10, revert to your existing OS. If you need help blocking the upgrade, contact me.

Also beginning in January, Microsoft will stop supporting anything but the most current Internet Explorer and Edge version for all supported operating systems (Vista, Win7, Win8, Win10). This means that you’ll be forced to run the latest browser or you won’t get future security updates (which are released on about a monthly basis now). If you’re running an older browser for compatibility with certain websites or applications (like DQSD), it’s time to find another browser that works and upgrade IE whether you like it or not. Consider this your 35 day warning.

Microsoft released 20 updates to address vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer, Edge, .NET, Skype, Lync, Office, and Silverlight (~120mb). This includes security updates. A reboot is required.
http://update.microsoft.com/

Apple released updates for OS X 10.11.2, Security Update 2015-008, iOS 9.2, tvOS 9.1, Safari 9.0.2, watchOS 2.1 and Xcode 7.2 to address over 100 security vulnerabilities. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install these updates. A reboot is required.

Adobe AIR 20.0.0.204 is a security update.
Win: https://12pd.com/click?air
Mac: https://12pd.com/click?airmac

Adobe Flash Player 20.0.0.228 and 20.0.0.235 are security updates.
Win: https://12pd.com/click?flash
Win: https://12pd.com/click?flashie
Mac: https://12pd.com/click?flashmac

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.

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.

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:

Updates 2015-01-13

Posted on by

Hi, Folks!

It’s Patch Tuesday! Very light update cycle this month. Expect next month to be ugly, though, as February usually is. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released 8 updates to address vulnerabilities in Windows, .NET Framework, MSRT and Internet Explorer. This includes security updates. A reboot is required.
http://update.microsoft.com/

Adobe AIR 16.0.0.245 is a security update.
Win: https://12pd.com/click?air
Mac: https://12pd.com/click?airmac

Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.257 is a security update.
Win: https://12pd.com/click?flash
Win: https://12pd.com/click?flashie
Mac: https://12pd.com/click?flashmac
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.

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.

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:
