March brings us a solid set of updates from Microsoft for Windows, Microsoft Office, Exchange, and Edge (Chromium), but no critical issues requiring a “Patch Now” release schedule (though Microsoft Exchange will require some technical effort this month). We have published some testing guidelines, with a focus on printing, remote desktop over VPN connections, and server-based networking changes. We also recommend testing your Windows installer packages with a specific focus on roll-back and uninstall functionality.
You can find more information about the risk of deploying these Patch Tuesday updates with this useful infographic. And, if you are looking for more information on .NET updates, there is a great post from Microsoft that highlights this month’s changes.

There are (as of now) 51 patches to the Windows ecosystem for February, but no critical updates and no “Patch Now” recommendations from the Readiness team. I’m hoping that with this month’s list of Patch Tuesday updates, we can enjoy the quiet after the storm. January was tough for a lot of folks. And, with this month’s very light release from Microsoft, corporate security and systems administrators can take the time needed to test their applications and desktop/server builds. It’s also important to invest in their testing methodologies, release practices, and how their applications may be affected by OS-level updates and patches.
