Microsoft's Valentine's Gift to Admins: 6 Zero-Day Fixes

  • On Tuesday, Microsoft issued February Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 11 and Windows 10, fixing multiple bugs and addressing six zero-day vulnerabilities, according to Action1.
  • Microsoft continues the Secure Boot certificate-refresh that began in January, updating certificates for Windows 11 and Windows 10 to block bootkit malware.
  • Security vendor Action1 reported that six of this month's fixes were zero-day bugs, including exploits affecting System privileges and network connectivity, with Windows 11 and Windows 10 updates addressing multiple issues.
  • After January's glitchy update that required two emergency patches, some experts urge installing via System > Windows Update on Windows 11 and System > Update & Security on Windows 10, while others advise waiting a few days; users can uninstall if problems occur.
  • Many Secure Boot certificates are due to expire in June, and Windows 10 PCs must be enrolled in Extended Security Updates to stay protected, with only 11 fixes this month versus last month.
