Updates 2026-01-13

Happy New Year!

Today is Patch Tuesday for January, 2026.

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. macOS 26 is now stable and it’s important to update to 26.2 to resolve a critical security vulnerability.

There were 1325+ major hacks, and over 305 application updates this month. It’s a relatively small month, with about 3.0 GB of updates for most users.

Microsoft Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, and X/Twitter have suffered from outages this month.

Internet access throughout Congo-Brazzaville, Finland, Guinea, Iran, Montana, San Francisco, CA, Ukraine, and Venezuela has been blocked our down for extended periods.

Last months updates broke Classic Outlook, VPN access, and Windows Message Queuing (MSMQ).

Microsoft is going to start blocking older, insecure and unsupported hardware from accessing their email platform, Exchange Online.

For all their blather, Apple will be using Google Gemini to power Siri.

Crucial is ending consumer sales. This is going to be bad for computer pricing.

It’s insanely easy to map out human movement within your home (or someone else’s) using your existing Wi-Fi routers.

Let’s Encrypt (the service behind most current website secure certificates) is shortening the expiration term for their certificates. By a lot. It’s almost completely automated so probably not going to be a bit deal.

California has added a privacy tool to request that data brokers remove your information. It uses a third-party precheck service responsible for breaking the Internet several times last year (CloudFlare) and one of the worst privacy violating services out there (login.gov), then requires you to give the California government all of the information about you (name, SSN, date of birth, email address, phone numbers, addresses and so much more) for the state to store so that participating data brokers know what to remove. My opinion: government is the worst of the worst when it comes to getting hacked and exploited, so if you’re concerned about dubious storage of your data, giving it to the state is literally the worst possible option. It might be more work, but it’s better to do it yourself.

Now for the good news:

Google is finally adding an option to remove information about you.

Let’s Get Busy

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Patch Tuesday is relatively small this month. The typical computer should see roughly 3.0 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released 60 updates to address 115 vulnerabilities in Agere Windows Modem Driver, Azure Connected Machine Agent, Azure Core shared client library for Python, Capability Access Management Service (camsvc), Connected Devices Platform Service (Cdpsvc), Desktop Window Manager, Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM), Graphics Kernel, Host Process for Windows Tasks, Inbox COM Objects, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Microsoft Graphics Component, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office SharePoint, Microsoft Office Word, Printer Association Object, SQL Server, Tablet Windows User Interface (TWINUI) Subsystem, Windows Admin Center, Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock, Windows Client-Side Caching (CSC) Service, Windows Clipboard Server, Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver, Windows Common Log File System Driver, Windows Deployment Services, Windows DWM, Windows Error Reporting, Windows File Explorer, Windows Hello, Windows HTTP.sys, Windows Hyper-V, Windows Installer, Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), Windows Kerberos, Windows Kernel, Windows Kernel Memory, Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers, Windows LDAP – Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, Windows Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS), Windows Local Session Manager (LSM), Windows Management Services, Windows Media, Windows Motorola Soft Modem Driver, Windows NDIS, Windows NTFS, Windows NTLM, Windows Remote Assistance, Windows Remote Procedure Call, Windows Remote Procedure Call Interface Definition Language (IDL), Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), Windows Secure Boot, Windows Server Update Service, Windows Shell, Windows SMB Server, Windows Telephony Service, Windows TPM, Windows Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) Enclave, Windows WalletService, Windows Win32K – ICOMP, and MSRT. This includes security updates. A reboot is required.

Apple released updates for iOS 26.2, iPadOS 26.2, macOS Sonoma 14.8.3, macOS Sequoia 15.7.3, macOS Tahoe 26.2, Safari 26.2, tvOS 26.2, visionOS 26.2, and watchOS 26.2. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install the most current versions.

iOS 26.2 is a security update. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.

iPadOS 26.2 is a security update. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current 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.

Windows 10 (all consumer versions) 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:

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.

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.

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.

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 2025-06-10

Posted on by

Welcome back, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for June, 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 (or older) 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 it’s time for you to start looking for a replacement computer.

There were 418+ major hacks, and over 260 application updates this month. It’s a mild month, with only about 2 GB of updates for most users.

Cellcom, ChatGPT, Heroku, Kettering Health, MathWorks/MATLAB, Microsoft 365, NZ Internet (read that, it’s hilarious), Reddit, and SentinelOne have suffered from outages this month.

Last months updates broke Bitlocker on Windows 10, boot on Windows 11, Google Workspace Sync for Outlook, and Hyper-V VM.

Microsoft is killing off their Authenticator app shortly. Export your data and switch to another auth app.

Meta (Facebook) is requiring users to opt out of AI a second time, and will only respect it in certain areas.

In the UK, Apple is going to lose more than a billion dollars in revenue due to a comma. In the US, Epic Games has filed a motion alleging Apple violated the court’s injunction by blocking Fortnite’s App Store submission.

Google has released their block of Nextcloud after worldwide uproar.

“President Trump has enlisted Palantir Technologies to build a massive, cross-agency database tracking every American citizen. … Let that sink in. A private company—deciding whose politics are too dangerous to exist?”

CIA-created Palantir is now publicly threatening reporters after being given a $795 million contract to track and report on every American to the government. I don’t understand why we should be paying for this. Hackers compile this data for free!

No, the DMV did not text you. It’s a scam. It’s always a scam.

To literally nobodies surprise, the Pakistani government is disabling IDs and devices of people within protest areas using geofencing methods. Do you still want digital ID?

Now for the good news:

FFmpeg has added a WHIP Muxer for sub-second streaming latency.

The Swiss authoritarian bill that would have all but eliminated the last refuge for privacy has failed.

The Linux Foundation is launching an independent WordPress package manager.

Let’s Get Busy

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Patch Tuesday is mild this month. The typical computer should see roughly 2 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released 41 updates to address 69 vulnerabilities in .NET and Visual Studio, App Control for Business (WDAC), Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU), Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Local Security Authority Server (lsasrv), Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft Office PowerPoint, Microsoft Office SharePoint, Microsoft Office Word, Nuance Digital Engagement Platform, Power Automate, Remote Desktop Client, Visual Studio, WebDAV, Windows Common Log File System Driver, Windows Cryptographic Services, Windows DHCP Server, Windows DWM Core Library, Windows Hello, Windows Installer, Windows KDC Proxy Service (KPSSVC), Windows Kernel, Windows Local Security Authority (LSA), Windows Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS), Windows Media, Windows Netlogon, Windows Recovery Driver, Windows Remote Access Connection Manager, Windows Remote Desktop Services, Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), Windows SDK, Windows Secure Boot, Windows Security App, Windows Shell, Windows SMB, Windows Standards-Based Storage Management Service, Windows Storage Management Provider, Windows Storage Port Driver, Windows Win32K – GRFX, and MSRT. This includes security updates. A reboot is required.

Apple released updates for iPadOS 17.7.8. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install the most current versions.

iPadOS 17.7.8 is a security updates. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.

Google ChromeOS 136.0.7103.158 and ChromeOS LTS 132.0.6834.225 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:

ScreenConnect 25.4 is not available yet. Soon…maybe? So the drama, dude. ConnectWise announced that they’ll be releasing this new version (still in Canary status only 4 days ago) to address a “security concern” with only two days notice. The ConnectWise code signing certificate is being revoked due to the way their previous client installations were designed (which, in their defense, is how Microsoft encouraged apps to operate a few years ago), and all builds prior to the bleeding edge version are going to be not merely “unsupported,” but likely not installable and clients may be randomly removed by antivirus, security and client management software, leaving the clients inaccessible for support. ConnectWise will not be patching previous versions. ConnectWise isn’t even answering many support questions. Among other things, this means that many server platforms will no longer be supported, custom and even vendor-published extensions that are not compatible with the new bleeding-edge build will simply not work – possibly for months, if ever – and these “incompatible” extensions may not simply be disabled within ScreenConnect itself if they don’t have the right version attribute, but might take down the ScreenConnect server completely until they’re manually removed (which was my own experience when upgrading to 24.x). The installation process for all clients will change. ConnectWise hasn’t published the new process yet and have not updated much of their documentation for over a year. To say users are in limbo is about as accurate a statement as any. In the last week they published then removed 25.4, and have removed the downloads for all current and previous builds, save one (25.3.4) which they say isn’t even going to be supported later today. Sigh.

Updates 2025-02-11

Posted on by

Happy Valentines, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for February, 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 (or older) 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 it’s time for you to start looking for a replacement computer. Actually, that time was about 5 weeks ago. Pickin’s are thin right now. 🙁

There were 275+ major hacks, and over 640 application updates this month. It shouldn’t be that bad though, with about 3.5 GB of updates for most users.

Bitbucket, Bohemia Interactive (DayZ and Arma Reforger), Cloudflare’s R2 object storage, Conduent, Garmin GPS watches, GitHub, Lee Enterprises, Microsoft 365, and PlayStation Network have suffered from outages this month.

Last months updates broke Microsoft 365 on Windows Server OS, “New” Outlook, Outlook email composition, Outlook search, USB audio drivers, Windows Activation, and Windows Server 2022.

Microsoft is now force-installing “new” Outlook (“Outlook Fred” for those in the know). Recently, Microsoft has been changing the management methods to prevent installation faster than they release updates to the software or tell their customers of the new policy changes, making it an administrative nightmare. I figure it will be either a class-action lawsuit, a federal (or EU) racketeering case, or an enterprise-wide wake-up to switch to Thunderbird that will finally get Microsoft to (briefly) start respecting their customers that have (oft repeatedly) expressly signalled their desire to opt out of this crap.

Microsoft is saying they’re going to stop supporting installing updates for Office apps on Windows 10 after it reaches end-of-life in October. This is probably BS, since they’ve never prevented installing Office updates on previous operating systems when they reached end-of-life, but you should switch from Windows 10 by then for other reasons anyway.

This doesn’t bode well for Let’s Secure Insurance. Ouch.

A year after announcing that it would be imposing a new UEFI signature and mere months before mandatory enforcement, Microsoft has finally released a script to create media that can boot using the new requirements.

Amazon has (finally) improved the default settings for Redshift to reduce the number of data leaks using their platforms.

The FTC has ordered GM to stop selling OnStar customer data (such as precise geolocation and driving behavior) without obtaining express consent.

In a surprise to literally nobody, security researchers learned that if you install bad things on your device, bad things can happen!

Now for the good news:

A lawsuit against automatic license plate readers is allowed to proceed.

Brave now allows you to inject custom JavaScript to tweak websites without an extension. 🙂  This comes only weeks after adding the ability to Rerank websites in the Brave Search engine.

Most importantly: Ross Ulbricht is free.

Let’s Get Busy

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Patch Tuesday is not that bad this month. The typical computer should see roughly 3.5 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released 41 updates to address 67 vulnerabilities in Active Directory Domain Services, Azure Network Watcher, Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU), Microsoft Digest Authentication, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Microsoft Edge for iOS and Android, Microsoft High Performance Compute Pack (HPC) Linux Node Agent, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office SharePoint, Microsoft PC Manager, Microsoft Streaming Service, Microsoft Surface, Microsoft Windows, Open Source Software, Outlook for Android, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock, Windows CoreMessaging, Windows DHCP Client, Windows DHCP Server, Windows Disk Cleanup Tool, Windows DWM Core Library, Windows Installer, Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), Windows Kerberos, Windows Kernel, Windows LDAP, Windows Message Queuing, Windows NTLM, Windows Remote Desktop Services, Windows Resilient File System (ReFS) Deduplication Service, Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), Windows Setup Files Cleanup, Windows Storage, Windows Telephony Server, Windows Telephony Service, Windows Update Stack, Windows Win32 Kernel Subsystem, and MSRT. This includes security updates. A reboot is required.

Oracle released 301 security updates this quarter to address vulnerabilities in 109 applications.

Apple released updates for GarageBand 10.4.12, iOS 18.3, iOS 18.3.1, iPadOS 17.7.4, iPadOS 17.7.5, iPadOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3.1, macOS Sequoia 15.3, macOS Sonoma 14.7.3, macOS Ventura 13.7.3, Safari 18.3, tvOS 18.3, visionOS 2.3, and watchOS 11.3. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install the most current versions.

iOS 18.3 and 18.3.1 are security updates. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.

iPadOS 17.7.4, 17.7.5, 18.3 and 18.3.1 are security updates. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.

watchOS 11.3.1 is a security update. Use the Watch app on your iPhone to install the most current version.

tvOS 18.3 is a security update. Use System, Software Update to install the most current version.

visionOS 2.3.1 is a security update. Use System, Software Update to install the most current version.

Google ChromeOS 132.0.6834.98 and Google ChromeOS LTS 126.0.6478.264 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:
