Windows 10 is at the center of a new official warning that targets millions of users around the world, it comes just a few days after the American company decided to launch the update for July 2021. According to IT security experts, this update brings solutions to no longer less than 117 security vulnerabilities discovered in Windows 10 so far, a truly impressive achievement that the company can now be proud of.
Windows 10 had this update released with a solution for a problem that allowed the exploitation of the operating system through a service dedicated to the use of printers, but in reality over 100 other vulnerabilities are solved. Some of them are very serious, so this new Windows 10 update is one that everyone should install right now because it's meant to keep us safe from attackers trying to exploit vulnerabilities.
Windows 10 has 117 vulnerabilities solved, another discovered
Windows 10 solves a lot of problems with the recent update, but it seems that another one still remained unfixed, and it is also related to printers, which is quite funny, since Microsoft solved another similar one. Just like the previous issue, including this one allows attackers to take over administrator privileges to control the PCs that are being exploited, so we're talking about a problematic situation until Microsoft finally decides to fix it for all of us.
Windows 10 can have unsigned code run by an attacker when the vulnerability is exploited, so a variety of data can be extracted from people's PCs without them knowing exactly what is happening. Of course, Microsoft is working on fixing this problem and wants to release an update with the fixed vulnerability, but it is unlikely that it will come to Windows 10 until the beginning of next month, together with the new security patch.
Windows 10 usually has some issues fixed and others created with the security updates that are provided, so it's good to know what to expect when you install these Microsoft updates.
