    The Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) announced that the February 2017 security update release would be postponed.

    So far, there is no information when the update will be releasing. As soon as more information crops up, I’ll be sure to update you here.

    So no updates for this month! Officially no explanation was given, but it seems they are having problems with their patch build system. This means that a particularly nasty Windows SMB bug which has public exploit code won't be patched this month.

    I was under the impression that updates for Windows and updates for other Microsoft software (read: Office) were managed independently but obviously not. Maybe there are no "other" updates this month?

    I recently installed the monthly malicious software removal tool, but nothing else was available except for Windows Defender updates.
