Microsoft released security updates for all supported versions of its Windows operating system and other company products a moment ago. The updates are already available via Windows Updates and other update management systems.

Our overview is designed to help system administrators and home users make sense of the released updates. It acts as a one-page resource listing that links to relevant support articles on Microsoft's website.

It also summaries the published information. You learn about all confirmed issues, find out how specific client and server versions of Windows are affected, and get other handy information, including direct download links to the big patches.

We do include an Excel spreadsheet that you can download to get a list of the released security updates on top of that. In case you missed them, here is the link to last month's security updates overview.
