  ISSUE 20.30.1 • 2023-07-25

  

  By Susan Bradley

  If you haven’t updated to Windows 10/11 22H2, now is a good time because I’m lowering the MS-DEFCON level to 4.

  This month’s updates have now settled down to the point that I don’t anticipate any issues for the vast majority of readers, nor have I seen any surprises in my testing on Windows 10 or Windows 11.

  22H2 is now my recommended version of Windows for both Windows 10 and Windows 11 for all editions and all types of users — with the single exception of gamers.

  ISSUE 20.18.1 • 2023-05-04

  

  By Susan Bradley

  The order of the day is Windows 10 22H2.

  With Patch Tuesday just around the corner, it’s time to defer updates. Therefore, I’m raising the MS-DEFCON level to 2.

  However, there is one exception. If you are running Windows 10, update to release 22H2 as soon as possible. If you can’t get to it by Tuesday, defer — but be sure to get it done before the end of May.

  PATCH WATCH

  

  By Susan Bradley

  We anticipate an uneventful release of Windows 10 22H2 later in the month.

  Meanwhile, we’re watching several side effects from the September and October updates that have not yet been addressed. Most of these side effects are not being seen in the consumer and home space, and here’s hoping it stays that way. Issues do tend to bubble up over time, though.
