October 2019 Patch Tuesday problems

I see remarkably few reported problems with the October 2019 incarnation of Patch Tuesday.

Looks like the printer problems have been resolved (only took MS four tries). I haven’t seen anybody with exploding Start menus or missing Cortana boxes — I know, that’s a feature, not a bug.

What have I missed?

Of course, I recommend that you NOT install any Windows/Office/NET patches just yet. There’s a reason why we’re on MS-DEFCON 1.
