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.

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 September, 2024.

We’re one month closer to the next build of Windows 11 and the next release of macOS, both due in mere weeks. A new major version of Office (aka Microsoft 365) is due at the same time, as well.

When the new build of Windows 11 is released all versions of Windows 11 prior to 23H2 will no longer be supported. Upgrade to 23H2 now if you have not done so yet, then do not upgrade to 24H2 when it is released. Let everyone else be the guinea pigs.

When the new build of macOS is released all versions of macOS prior to 13/Ventura will no longer be supported. If you can’t upgrade your Mac to Ventura you need to switch it to Linux or replace it.

Windows 10 now has only 13 months of support left. If your computer can not be upgraded to Windows 11 either start planning for a switch to Linux or replacing your computer.

There were 310+ major hacks, and over 200 application updates this month.
It’s a relatively small month, with only about 2.0 GB of updates for most users.
