Well Microsoft put out a rotten egg on the last round of updates and you need to patch it as soon as you can, but of course for IT administrators they know the damage has already been done.
What do we say Class...Thanks Microsoft :-P
That's the risk you take on updating right away, however, even if you wait as long as we do, you can still get hit.
Why did this happen? Well it's simple, Microsoft is diverting its crew over to Windows 10 and the new Edge Browser.
They are using as minimal of their resources as possible to make it absolutely irritating for Windows 7 users to hopefully "FORCE" you into upgrading.
It's a catch 22 because there are going to be bugs with Windows 10 and 3rd party software and there will be bugs with updates in Windows 7 Operating system due to lack of resources.
However, staying with Window 7 is going to be less impactful on your daily lives than the problems that are going to come with Windows 10.
Your malware programs will keep you safe even in a bad update situation like the one here, so make sure you keep your subscriptions up to date as well as the updates for those malware programs.
Your programs are already loaded so there will be little compatibility issues if any, so yes MS will play their little games with you, but in the end they are still obligated to the OS and the security of it and any problems they cause with it...and that's a fact!
