• Microsoft fixes problems with Win7/8.1 “Group B” security-only patching method

    Posted on December 7, 2016 at 13:23 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    Yes, MS has acknowledged the problem with fixing security-only bugs in non-security monthly rollup patches. And, yes, they say they’re going to fix it.

    Big news. Tell your Win7 friends.

    UPDATE: It pains me to say that my interpretation of Microsoft’s post may be overly optimistic. See the comments here for details. It’s possible that the fix will only be made to the supersedence chain – not to the underlying patches. Sigh.
