Microsoft August 2019 Patch Tuesday fixes 93 security bugs

Of the 93 vulnerabilities Microsoft patched today, 29 are rated Critical and 64 are rated Important in severity.

On the second Tuesday of the month — as clockwork — Microsoft released its monthly rollup of security updates known as Patch Tuesday.

This month, Microsoft patched 93 security flaws and published two security advisories with mitigations for two security-related issues impacting the company’s products & services.

Unlike in previous months, none of the vulnerabilities that have been patched today were under attack, or had their details publicly disclosed online.

Windows 7 usage has dropped to 32 percent

Almost 50 percent of all PCs are now running Windows 10, research claims

With ransomware attacks and an official end of support date (January 14, 2020) both presenting security threats to 7 users, this is an understandable trend: nobody wants to be left vulnerable due to an OS choice alone.

Naturally, many Windows 7 users would undoubtedly prefer that Microsoft continue to support their favorite OS indefinitely; but the tech giant has made it clear that this isn’t in the cards — despite 7′s still-significant market share. Microsoft has a vision for the future of Windows, and it doesn’t lie in significant, infrequent OS changes (such as XP, 7, and 8). Instead, it sees Windows as a platform: a “live service” that can be updated, changed, and sometimes broken, on a whim over time.
