Patch Tuesday<\/span> Microsoft for its February Patch Tuesday gave Windows admins just 51 fixes to apply, the smallest number of patches since the meager ration of 44 in August 2021.<\/p>\n

February tends to be a slow month for repairs because bugs left untended over the winter holidays often get dealt with in January, leaving not all that much for the following month.<\/p>\n

Perhaps more noteworthy is that there’s not a single critical CVE listed in the February patch list<\/a>. Fifty of the fixes are rated Important while one is rated Moderate in terms of severity. And there’s no indication that any of these are under active exploitation. In other words, you can probably finish that game of Minesweeper before deploying these patches.<\/p>\n
