• July’s Patch Tuesday is here

  Posted on July 11, 2023 at 11:45 CDT by Susan Bradley • Comment in the Forums

  For those of you in business, Microsoft decided that today – of all days – was the day to announce that “Microsoft rebrands Azure Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID”  Azure AD is the cloud version of Microsoft active directory, which is what I’m probably going to call it for the rest of my life and not “Entra ID”.

  Meanwhile back in the real world of day to day workstations of Windows and Apple, those rapid release patches of yesterday have been pulled due to a bug in Safari (showcasing that testing is hard for everyone).

  On the Windows platform, I want you to be in deferral mode as we watch for the testing results.  I’ll add more details as the patches come out.

  Highlights for Windows 11, version 22H2:
  -Expands the roll out of notification badging for Microsoft accounts on the Start menu (aka annoy you to not use a local account)
  -Improves the sharing of a local file in File Explorer with Microsoft Outlook contacts
  -Adds live captions for several languages

  If you kept Edge as default and Chrome would launch app controls, this update should fix that. If you kept Chrome as default you probably didn’t notice it.

  Remember Windows 10 22H2 is only receiving security updates now so it’s the stable/boring version of Windows.

  If you are a WSUS patcher, detection looks to be borked – as in it’s not seeing your machines as needing updates. Microsoft will have to fix the detection.
