MS-DEFCON 4: Patching weather is clearing

Posted on January 24, 2023 at 02:45 CST by Susan Bradley • Comment in the Forums

ISSUE 20.04.1 • 2023-01-24

By Susan Bradley

In general, the January updates have been well behaved.

So far, I’m not seeing any trending issues with them; accordingly, I’m lowering the MS-DEFCON level to 4. But that’s not to say we haven’t seen some other issues related to other types of updates. In addition to describing those, I’ll discuss a vulnerability in a part of your computer you may never think about.

Two issues recently impacted Start menus and shortcuts but were unrelated to one another.

Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (20.04.1, 2023-01-24).
