Welcome back, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for July, 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. 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.

There were 1600+ major hacks, and over 725 application updates this month. It’s a huge month, with about 7.5 GB of updates for most users.

This is the second month in a row where almost every browser in the world addressed over five hundred (500!) security vulnerabilities EACH in the last 30 days. Updates are important.
