Security Bulletin: Microsoft's last "Patch Tuesday" update fixed some 117 vulnerabilities in Windows 10

-

Microsoft's last "Patch Tuesday" update fixed some 117 vulnerabilities in Windows 10,  25 of which are rated critical.

Microsoft has not seen any of these vulnerabilities exploited in the wild.

Regardless, I wanted to remind you to make certain you have updates enabled in Windows 10 and proper anti-virus installed.

Also, keep The Nerd Cave in mind if you have issues with your computer.

Some basic maintenance checks include:

  • Checking for slow start-up programs.
  • Removing unwanted background programs that could be slowing down your computer.
  • Virus and malware scanning.
  • Making sure effective Anti-Virus software is installed and working.
  • Scanning for a corrupt file system that could lead to damaged or missing files in the future.
  • Checking for possible hardware upgrades that could improve PC performance.

I also offer a number of personalized computer services such as resolving specific software or configuration issues with your computer or other hardware.

Take Care,
