If normally the development of the programs that we have installed does not stop growing, this is something that is especially evident in operating systems such as Windows 10 and 11. Microsoft is currently sending the new security patches for the month of March 2022 , let’s see what they come with and how we can install them.
We tell you all this because yesterday the already popular Tuesday of monthly updates from the Redmond firm took place. As usual, it sends us the most recent security patches belonging to a good part of its products. As it could not be otherwise, the different versions of your operating system that are still supported are included here.
To give you an idea of the importance of all this, say that at this time these patches correct a total of 30 recent vulnerabilities in Windows 10. On the other hand, if we focus on the new operating system, Windows 11, 27 important vulnerabilities have been patched here. For this reason, below we will talk about some of the most important security flaws corrected here and how to update as soon as possible.
Vulnerabilities fixed by Microsoft in Windows
In the first place, we will talk about the update that reaches the computers that receive support with Windows 10. This includes versions 2004, 20H2, 21H1 and 21H2 of the operating system to which the KB5011487 patch arrives, correcting three dozen errors of security. At this point, it is worth noting that, for example, the problem with Windows reset has been corrected. This could lead to some personal data being lost in certain configurations.
Of course this was a major flaw as many users use Microsoft’s system reset feature while keeping their personal data. The loss of these due to a Windows failure could be considered unacceptable, something that has already been corrected. In turn, it is worth mentioning that, if we focus on Windows 11, this same error is also among the 27 vulnerabilities patched here. In this case, the update that will reach compatible computers will be KB5011493.
How to update our PCs as soon as possible
Well, as usual at this point in the month, the software giant urges us to update our equipment as soon as possible. This will allow us to correct the latest security flaws discovered and solve the aforementioned functional problems. We must bear in mind that in most cases we will receive the aforementioned updates and security patches through the Windows Update function. We only have to access it through Settings to place ourselves in the Updates and security section.
It may be the case that we have some problems receiving these important elements automatically. In that case, we also have the possibility of receiving these patches, which we do described manually. It is for all this that we will leave you the links to the official Microsoft catalog so that you can carry this out.
Windows 7: KB5011552.
Windows 8.1: KB5011564.
Windows 10 version 2004, 20H2, 21H1 and 21H2: KB5011487.
