Microsoft blats bugs in super-secure web browser Edge, its OS, the Office suite, and more
Microsoft has patched 41 CVE-listed security vulnerabilities in its software this month.

Also fixed are remote-code-execution holes in the Windows PDF Viewer and Microsoft Office.

After installing the Microsoft updates, users and administrators would be wise to install monthly fixes issued Tuesday by Adobe for Flash Player. The updates cover a total of 22 CVE-listed flaws for Flash, all of which could potentially be targeted for remote-code-execution attacks.
The Flash Player update also affects versions for OS X and Linux boxes.

Windows is now mostly for people that never learned to read.

Thanks dayflored...
Todays update for Win 7 was scary. Took the better part of an hour, and after a couple of auto re-starts it wouldn’t let me logon to my user account. I then logged on as Administrator and it took me to what looked like Safe mode. I rebooted from there and was finally able to logon normally. Scary. My Win 10 box however hasn’t updated anything today......yet.
