    8.1 x3, all seems well.

    Today's w10 cumulative attack... a great miracle from Nadella and his acolytes: cleanup will give me 3.99 TB more free space ...on a laptop with one 500 GB disk. Great, am starting to like w10 :O)

    Thanks @inm8#2 :)

    Woody seems to be on top of this disastrous future...

    MS-DEFCON 2:
    Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it.

    Don’t install any updates yet – but here’s where to find them

    "We’re going to be discussing today’s patches, but DON’T ASSUME THAT YOU SHOULD INSTALL THEM.

    You have plenty of time to wait and see if they break anything.

    With that as prolog, addobi86 just provided info for the two patches that’ll be on everyone’s minds.

    The security-only Win 7 Oct 2016 patch is KB3192391. You can find it here:

    http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Rss.aspx?q=KB3192391

    The security-only Win 8.1 Oct 2016 patch is KB3192392. Find it here:

    http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Rss.aspx?q=KB3192392

    There’s also a security Win 8.1 patch for Flash, KB3194343 and it’s here:

    http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Rss.aspx?q=KB3194343

    Windows Update in Win7 now showing Oct 2016 “Security Monthly Quality Rollup” (in other words, the security + non-security cumulative update) KB 3185330 and Oct 2016 “Security and Quality Rollup for .NET” KB 3188740. No surprises.

    And our good friend KB 2952664 – the detested snooping patch – is back, as a Recommended, optional patch.

    Look but don’t touch, OK?

    The Security Bulletins are up. They don’t include KB numbers, as expected, but I continue to wonder… how will Vista users install security patches?"

    I don't think MS will ever get to MS-DEFCON 5: the way they are going
    (MS-DEFCON 5: All’s clear.)
