Microsoft on Tuesday released a slew of patches for Windows and Office, but a glitch prevented the company from pushing the updates out automatically. The patches, which include critical fixes for both Office and Windows, can be manually downloaded from Microsoft’s Web site, and Microsoft said it hopes the more-automated tools will have the patch available later on Tuesday. Microsoft said that its technical teams “have been working around the clock” to solve the updating problems.
The 10 security bulletins, which include 6 critical fixes for both Office and Windows, are designed to address 26 vulnerabilities, and it’s the largest release for Microsoft this year.
