Last months updates broke Windows Taskbar, File Explorer, Windows Server 2019 updates, and Microsoft Outlook again, of course.
AI bots are ridiculously easy to convince to share sensitive information.
Apple is releasing a new password manager for macOS, iOS and iPadOS. But…to get an idea of how concerned Apple is about security, they’ve recently exposed that Wi-Fi on their devices can be used to geolocate any device around the globe.
Google is making it harder and harder to get help.
ICQ, my favorite messaging app from the 90s, has shut down after 28 years.
VBscript is on its deathbed.
Now for the good news:
Microsoft has reversed course on Windows Recall and is now making it “optional” even though it isn’t actually resolving most of the security issues or privacy risks.
Let’s Get Busy
Patch Tuesday is about average this month. The typical computer should see roughly 2.5 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.
Microsoft released updates to address 58 vulnerabilities in Azure Data Science Virtual Machines, Azure File Sync, Azure Monitor, Azure SDK, Azure Storage Library, Chrome, Dynamics Business Central, GitHub, Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft Office SharePoint, Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Streaming Service, Microsoft WDAC OLE DB provider for SQL, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows Speech, Visual Studio, Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver, Windows Container Manager Service, Windows Cryptographic Services, Windows DHCP Server, Windows Distributed File System (DFS), Windows Event Logging Service, Windows Kernel, Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers, Windows Link Layer Topology Discovery Protocol, Windows NT OS Kernel, Windows Perception Service, Windows Remote Access Connection Manager, Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), Windows Server Service, Windows Standards-Based Storage Management Service, Windows Storage, Windows Themes, Windows Wi-Fi Driver, Windows Win32 Kernel Subsystem, Windows Win32K – GRFX, Winlogon, and MSRT. This includes security updates. A reboot is required.
Apple released updates for tvOS 17.5.1, iOS 17.5.1, iPadOS 17.5.1, and visionOS 1.2. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install these updates. A reboot is required.
iOS 17.5.1 is a security update. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.
iPadOS 17.5.1 is a security update. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.
tvOS 17.5.1 is a security update. Use System, Software Update to install the most current version.
visionOS 1.2 is a security update. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current version.
Google Chrome OS 125.0.6422.169 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 release of macOS Sonoma (14.x) means that macOS Big Sur (11.x) and older are no longer supported. If you can not install at least macOS Monterey (12) on your Mac then you should immediately remove it 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 (v23H2) 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, but I recommend you continue to use Windows 10 until early 2025 before you consider switching to it.
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 subscription SaferPC updates which will be installed each month whenever necessary. Click, call or email for more details:
