Windows 10 is one of the most used operating systems on the planet, and the other days it turned out that Microsoft has solved a series of critical problems of its operating system. More precisely, we are talking about dozens of critical vulnerabilities that have disappeared from Windows 10 starting today, Microsoft putting a lot of emphasis on user security, so everyone who updates is safer.
Windows 10 has the update available since Tuesday, it being named august patch tuesday thanks to the major changes it offers. In total, we are talking about 48 problems solved by Microsoft in Windows 10 thanks to this update, 25 of them being critical and involving extremely important security vulnerabilities for users.
Windows 10 does not have any of the solved vulnerabilities exploited by hackers today, but those from Microsoft wanted to be cautious and solve them. Some of the vulnerabilities closed today have been publicly demonstrated, so there is a chance that some hackers will take advantage of them to launch viruses, or malware, to break into the computers of users who do not protect themselves with antivirus systems.
Windows 10 – dozens of critical issues fixed
Windows 10 has, among all the vulnerabilities solved, two that affected the Windows Search system, but also the SMB one, allowing unsigned code to run on computers. Basically, a hacker who exploits them can run any kind of code he wants on the computers of Windows 10 users, and this is the worst thing that can happen to any operating system, which is the reason why vulnerabilities must be closed with priority.
Windows 10 had a multitude of vulnerabilities revealed by hackers over the last months, and Microsoft was very attentive to them. Windows 10 was also updated as new vulnerabilities were presented, so in the end users are now much better protected than just two months ago, and Microsoft continues to solve the security problems that keep appearing.
Windows 10, like macOS, is constantly updated to have the best features and the best security, but here Apple's operating system is better. Everyone who has a Mac knows that they are better protected by the Apple company than by Windows 10, and this is not only because Microsoft made the operating system easier to hack, but also because hackers are more attentive to it.
