As is the usual case the second Patch Tuesday of the month comes and goes with little attention. I think it likes things that way compared to its slightly older, more scrutinized cousin that is the first Patch Tuesday of each month which delivers security updates to Windows operating systems.
This edition of Patch Tuesday just delivers a steady stream of updates for Windows that keeps it working well for you every day.
