I’m working on backfilling the data back.  Is there a specific patch or patches you have questions on?

There is no easy fix for Ransomware.  If the good guys do not have the recovery keys as a result of taking control of the Command and control servers, there is no way that one can “brute force” and get back into the files.

I saw that but so far it’s sticking on mine.  Note that when you open up downloads it acts like it’s “searching” and takes longer to open up.

“After some searching I found that by right-clicking on a group in either the Downloads or the Open dialogue box (say “Yesterday”) the option Group by (None) appears and sets the option.”

I cringe at the use of “out of band”.  Given that they are not fixing any new security issues, given that they are not being pushed and are catalog only, it’s clear that Microsoft considers this an Enterprise only bug and is not pushing this out to us lowly normal folks.

Yup, same code as Home Server.

In the latest versions of 10 if you don’t use SMBv1 in (I think) 15 days there’s a PowerShell script that runs that disables it.  Typically umpteen days later when you can’t use something you forget about this rule.  SMBv1 does up the risk for ransomware.  But show me a home network and I’ll show you something that prob still needs SMBv1.

This only fixes an issue where the event viewer crashes if you make custom views.  If you don’t do that, you won’t need the fix.

https://www.askwoody.com/patch-list-master/  I listed the May updates in the PDF.  For Office I didn’t list them individually, I just indicate that I’ve installed them.  I’m trying to give a better indication of what I patch to and why.

To get it to 1809 (it was on 1803) I had to disable hibernation, uninstall LibreOffice.  There’s no files on this little guy.

IMHO if you are rolling out 1903 right now you need to not use third party antivirus and instead use defender.

Actually a non issue.  Don’t install the optional updates is the rule.
