Key notes

If may want to know that today, at approximately 10 AM PST, Microsoft will release another round of major updates for 2021, as a part of their July Patch Tuesday, just as they did with every other second Tuesday of each month.

If by any chance you aren’t familiar with these updates, know that we’re mainly talking about fixes applied to all of themost major issues that Windows has, and also security bolstering.

During last month’s Patch Tuesday, the tech companyreleased a staggering 50 security fixes, meant to address some serious problems that were being exploited.

What to expect from this month’s Patch Tuesday updates?

What to expect from this month’s Patch Tuesday updates?

If you keep yourself up to date with everything that the Redmond-based tech company does during these Patch Tuesday events, you surely remember last month’s batch.

Pressed by serious security concerns, Microsoft released a huge number of security fixes, meant to sort out some exploits that were going on in the wild.

The zero-day vulnerabilities that Microsoft has tracked as being actively exploited were patched in June 2021, as follows:

Keep in mind that this month’s Patch Tuesday is actually happening during everyone’s summer vacation, so the number of CVEs may be much smaller than in previous months.

However, increased ransomware attacks and some still pending issues that affect Windows, will make it so that Microsoft employees will still deliver solutions, even if it is via a much smaller content quantity.

For July 2021, we could actually get:

We are all eager to find out what Microsoft will be distributing, security updates, and fixes-wise, as a part of the July 2021 Patch Tuesday.

As we all know, there still are some issues that the tech giant has postponed addressing, for whatever reason, and we might just see these solutions pop up this month.

The volume of the software Microsoft will release could also be influenced by the fact that they are now hard at work perfectingWindows 11.

Currently, Windows Insiders are testingthe second build available, for the upcoming OS, which is 22000.65.

If you haven’t already heard about Windows 11, you will most likely want to know that it will be replacing Windows 10 from 2025, so you might also want to seewhat the differences between the two are.

Windows 10 versions 21H1 and 20H2

Windows 10 v21H1is the latest major version of Windows 10, and as such has the most experimental features on it.

Fortunately, most bugs that were first present when it was first made available have been weeded out, and this version of Windows 10 is far more stable.

KB5004237

Windows 10 version 1909

As the Redmond-based tech company said not long ago, Windows 10, version 1909 reached the end of service on May 11, 2021, for devices running the Home, Pro, Pro for Workstation, Nano Container, and Server SAC editions.

Devices still running this version of the OS will no longer receive monthly security and quality updates that contain protection from the latest security threats.

So, if you still want to receive security and quality updates, Microsoft recommends updating to the latest version of Windows 10.

KB5004245

Windows 10 version 1809

This version of the OS is outdated and will no longer receive any updates from the tech company. Users that are still running this old version on their devices are strongly advised to choose a more recent one to update to.

If you still want to use Windows 10 and are not willing to upgrade to 11, you don’t have to do so right away. After all, Microsoft announced that the support for Windows 10 will go on until 2025.

KB5004244

Windows 10 version 1607

This is one of the more older OS versions, that Microsoft first released back in August 2016. Apparently, the Redmond-based tech company still feels like there is room for improvement here.
