Today, we provide advance notification for the release of 16 Security Bulletins. Five of these updates are rated Critical, nine are rated as Important, and two are rated Moderate in severity. These updates are for Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, Office, Exchange, .NET Framework, Internet Information Services (IIS), Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), Input Method Editor (IME) (Japanese), and Kernel Mode Driver (KMD).

As per our monthly process, we've scheduled the Security Bulletin release for the second Tuesday of the month, November 11, 2014, at approximately 10 a.m. PST. At that time, we'll provide deployment guidance. Until then, please review the ANS summary page for more information to help you prepare for Security Bulletin testing and deployment.

We also want to let you know about a new way we will deliver our Security Bulletins. To streamline the way customers receive our security updates, we are directing customers to resources that will be available on the MSRC blog on Update Tuesday.

Given the recent past performance of Microsoft updates, and given the size and appearant complexity of the pending updates, it would be prudent to make a full backback before applying these patches.

I use "Patch Tuesday" to remind me to create backup HDD images.

Thanks for the reminder, I'll be sure to do one this evening.

They should call it "Remembrance Patch Tuesday (Backup) Day "...as for tomorrow only!

 

[ThrashZone]

Actually it should be known as review updates before load them
Also know your categories !
Recommended updates are in reality Optional as long as you have your windows update settings set to reflect them as noted
Important updates are the only ones needed
Unless an Optional update applies to your actual usage

 

[Layback Bear]

Maybe the Microsoft gods have blessed me. I seldom have a problem with Windows Updates.
I don't except Bing anything and I investigate driver option before installing them.
That it; the rest I install.

 

[Fantail]

I would imagine most users here might favor not using automatic updates.

 

[Tookeri]

I usually also double click every update and click on the "More information" link, to see what the update is all about

 

[Layback Bear]

I surly don't use auto update for Windows or any other thing. I do all my updates manually.

 

[robinb9]

I usually also double click every update and click on the "More information" link, to see what the update is all about

I check each one too and do them in small bunches like 2 at a time

 

[robinb9]

so now that they are here, any problems? I pulled them into one machine to see them. There are 7 Office and 13 Window updates, I will not do them till I see what others here had problems or not!

 

[Layback Bear]

Well I'm going to log off, reboot and dive into the updates. I'm not chicken.

 

[DavidE]

I updated a 8.1.1 system with 17 updates, no problems installing them.
I'm doing a Win 7 OS right now with 20 updates.
I do them all at once.

 

[ThrashZone]

Just to be clear KB3008627 is Optional
Otherwise all others are loaded and doing fine

On the above Optional KB... the More information link goes no where and so does the update until it explains what the update is supposed to address

 

[SnarkyTwit]

All fine here

I had 27 updates. Office and Windows. No problems to report here!

Latest updates

Downloading 13 updates now. I don't have MS Office installed. I see an schannel.dll gets downloaded. I wonder if that's anything to do with the latest round of SSL vulnerabilities.

​

 

[Layback Bear]

I'm back.
Installed all updates (13) plus MSE.

My method.
1. Update MSE first
2. I.E. updates, reboot.
3. Next 4 from the top, reboot
4. Next 6 from the top, reboot
5. The last 2, reboot
6. Check for updates, none found.

Please note; when I reboot and get to the desktop I wait until the drive light quiets going crazy before I do anything on the computer. Some times the light will be blinking very fast for about 20 seconds. I just wait until it's done because I don't know what is going on.

 

[Layback Bear]

Callender what is Spy the Spy?

I'm now booted in W-10 check for updates. None found except Defender.
Updates of W-7 to around 15 minutes with 3.0 DSL.
