Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday, April 9 To Bring 9 Security Updates, 2 Are Critical
This coming Tuesday, April 9, is going to be a busy one for Microsoft’s update servers. In advance of what have become known as “Patch Tuesday”, Microsoft posted nine early security bulletins to notify users and system administrators of the slew of impending Windows updates. Two of the patches have been deemed critical, while the remaining seven are flagged as important. And all of the updates are likely to require a restart.
The exact details of the two critical updates are not posted just yet, but one of them affects Windows and Internet Explorer; the other is solely a Windows update.
In total, the upcoming updates will affect the Windows Operating Systems and OS Components, Office Suites and companion software, Microsoft Server Software, Office Web Apps, and Microsoft Security Software.
