Ongoing list of problems with the February 2020 Patch Tuesday patches
Posted on February 12th, 2020 at 10:47 Comment on the AskWoody LoungeIt’s a bumper crop — not only 99 separately identified security holes getting plugged, but a whole lot of unexpected fixes.
- Win7 free patches (including, unexpectedly, a new Malicious Software Removal Tool)
- Win7 paid patches (Microsoft tossed in a ringer to clog up the works)
- A Win10 UEFI patch directed at a specific manufacturer – but which one?
- A horrible, Chicken Little “exploited” IE JScript security hole
And a whole lot more.
Still much, much too early to see if there any big bugs.
