Yeah so? Setting floors for updates is pretty common, especially if the code is in the same area. Making multiple versions of the same patch, one to work with the existing patch and one without, is a lot of extra work for dev and test. And in an age of automatic updates unnecessary, get all the updates.

Exactly. Anyone who doesn’t get and APPLY patches, especially security patches—as they are made available—in this day and age, is cruisin’ for a bruisin’.

At least when the Cumulative updates come out both will be applied. IF the system isn’t hacked by then.

But y’all don’t let that get in the way of a good Microsoft bash.

“And in an age of automatic updates unnecessary, get all the updates.”

The purpose of this article was to alert users of MS Windows 7 and IE11 that they could not rely upon the automatic updates to provide this critical update, and they would not receive future patches until and unless they took action to remedy the missing update the automatic updating system did not supply.
