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.

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.
