Welcome back, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for June, 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 few months out of it.

Windows 11 25H2 is now available and Windows 11 23H2 and older are no longer supported. It’s safe to upgrade to Windows 11 25H2 now, but be prepared for the Start Menu to change. You will likely want to click the “View” drop-down and switch to List.

macOS 26 Tahoe is now available and macOS 13 Ventura and older are no longer supported. macOS 26 is now stable and you should upgrade to this version if your hardware supports it.

People harp on me sometimes about having to do updates. This month is a perfect demonstration of why they’re so important. Almost every browser in the world addressed over six hundred (600!) security vulnerabilities EACH in the last 30 days. Several of the vulnerabilities were reported over two years ago and one was reported over six years ago. Updates are important.

There were 1190+ major hacks, and over 490 application updates this month. It’s a huge month, with about 6.5 GB of updates for most users.

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.

Welcome back, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for October, 2023.

This month brings a new version of macOS, version 14.0/Sonoma, an impending new Windows 11 build, and several very high profile vulnerabilities in shared code that affect thousands of applications. Vendors for some will not even discover that they’re vulnerable until their applications are used in mass hacks. The next few months are going to be ugly as this plays out.

There were 153 major hacks, and over 200 application updates this month. It’s an insane month, with about 6 GB of updates for most users.
