The second Tuesday of every month, Microsoft releases updates for different versions of Windows. The event is called Patch Tuesday and the Redmond based tech giant pushes updates and patches to all supported operating system versions. This week it has released patches on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
Users who are still using Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 SP1 can get an account of the update from the Update Catalog here . The fixes that have arrived this week are:
- Addressed issue called out in KB4022168 where Internet Explorer 11 may close unexpectedly when you visit some websites.
- Security updates to Microsoft Graphics Component, Windows Search, Windows Virtualization, Windows Storage and File Systems, Datacenter Networking, Windows Server, Windows kernel, Microsoft PowerShell, Windows shell, Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft NTFS, Windows kernel-mode drivers, and ASP.NET.
