NET, Silverlight, Office, and MSRT (~1.2gb). This month marks the beginning of a new Microsoft update policy of packaging updates in group rollups instead of individually for different applications, even for older supported operating systems like Windows 7 and 8.1.

Don’t get me wrong, the security updates are essential to good computing, but without the ability to selectively exclude known-bad updates after internal testing is performed, this is going to create a situation where most enterprise environments delay updates even longer. The only safe resolution for this is to have full backups and be prepared to perform a reset or system restore should, well, the inevitable disaster occur.Īpple released updates for macOS/OS X, Safari, iCloud for Windows, Windows Migration Assistant, and printer drivers.

This is not the case with the items below, though you should still check each line item below to see if it applies to software you have installed. Please remember that while I list many different applications within these updates, most people should ONLY install updates for a program if they already have a previous version of that program installed.
