What happened to the February patches?
Posted on February 15th, 2017 at 10:17 Comment on the AskWoody LoungeThere’s a lot of conjecture. I haven’t seen any Feb “Patch Tuesday” style patches. Have you?
Hard to believe all of the patches – Vista, Win7, 8.1, various 10s, the Offices including Click-to-Run, IE, .NET, and all the weird supporting patches have all gone missing.
Even the two odd snooping patches, KB 2952664 (for Win7) and KB 2976978 (Win 8.1), are no longer available in the Windows Update Catalog.
The only conclusion I can draw – and it’s 100% speculation – is that Windows Update is broken. Or maybe compromised.
Do you have any better info – or a contrary opinion?
UPDATE: Gregg Keizer at Computerworld just posted an interview with a security expert who, amazingly, seems to say exactly what I’m saying.
