Microsoft Security Update Guide For April 2017

Apr 11, 2017 3:54PM PDT

Published March 14, 2017

Microsoft released new security updates today. Both Critical and Important Updates have been released. Updates include those for Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, NET Framework, Silverlight, Flash Player, and others.

Microsoft also released an updated version of the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool on Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services, and the Download Center.

This month's release is also unique in that it marks the end of Microsoft's Security Bulletins, which have been replaced by the Security Updates Guide. It also is the end of Vista's "extended supported" phase, meaning Vista will get no more official security updates.... and it also marks the beginning of the Creators Update roll-out.

In addition, Microsoft released a number of updates for the various versions of Office.

We actually have a "Newbies" forum which contains an entire "Tips" thread which includes tips for both old and new operating systems and how to use them. Here's the link:

For many years, it’s been a pain and expensive process to gather vulnerability and security update data from the bulletin website each month for many IT professionals. Now, with this new Security Update Guide, I belive it becomes a very easy and industry standard process.
