Security >> MS Update Schedule Does anyone know what Microsoft's schedule is for releasing updates? I know
that the security updates are released once a month at 10 AM PST. Do they
hold all security updates until the release day (and time) or are there times
when they are released outside of the schedule?

What about critical updates? I'm assuming that they are released as soon as
possible but I wanted to make sure.

Thanks,

Security >> MS Update Schedule 2nd Tuesday of every Month. Next scheduled release is May 8.

Hope this helps.

Security >> MS Update Schedule And, Windows updates that are NOT security related are issued the *4th*
Tuesday of every month.
BTW, Critical/Important updates ARE security related. They are usually
released on the second Tuesday of the month but can be issued
'out-of-band' when an active exploit of a vulnerability 'warrants it'.
