Inside the MSRC– The Monthly Security Update Releases

For the second in this series of blog entries we want to look into which vulnerability reports make it into the monthly release cadence.
It may help to start with some history. In September 2003 we made a change from a release anytime approach to a mostly predictable, monthly release cadence.

February 2018 security update release

Today, we released security updates to provide additional protections against malicious attackers. By default, Windows 10 receives these updates automatically, and for customers running previous versions, we recommend they turn on automatic updates as a best practice.
More information about this month’s security updates can be found in the Security Update Guide.
