How will you communicate the status of your Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2 micropatches following January 2020?

mitja.kolsek -

Following every Patch Tuesday after January 2020 (or between Patch Tuesdays, if necessary) we'll create a page here in our Help Center with information about vulnerabilities patched by Microsoft as part of Extended Security Updates. For each of these vulnerabilities, we'll provide, and continually update, the following information:

  • CVE ID
  • Our own risk assessment (with explanation)
  • Status of our micropatch (e.g., "in development", "waiting for test case", "issued")
  • Possible (and reported) side effects of our micropatch
  • Workarounds (for when micropatch is not available, or if you don't want to apply it)
  • Frequently asked questions
  • Links to our own and external articles related to this issue
  • Procedure for testing our micropatch (optionally)
  • Credits to people helping us with the micropatch

We will make our best effort to provide users will timely, accurate, and actionable information for keeping their Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 systems as secure as possible.
