Microsoft just released an emergency security patch 'out of band' meaning outside it's normal monthly patch cycle. So if you see the small "Windows Update' icon near the clock (looks like a card with an orange ring around it) or get prompted to restart to install a patch – do it!


Microsoft normally restricts its Windows updates to a monthly Patch Tuesday. So when the company pushes a critical update on a Monday, it’s a good sign that shit is hitting the fan.
