| Microsoft has fixed serious bugs on Windows 10 and 11 - that's why these security updates are critical. |
| Microsoft has released a new package of updates for Windows 10 and Windows 11, fixing several critical bugs that put users' security at risk. |

The most dangerous bugs in the latest Windows update |
| |
| With the latest update, Microsoft has fixed 89 bugs, of which 10 are particularly dangerous. Among these, some have been classified as “zero-day” bugs. |
| It is a term, as reported by Libero, which indicates vulnerabilities unknown to developers until the moment of their discovery and exploited by cybercriminals. |
|
| The timeliness with which these flaws are fixed is crucial to prevent user systems from being compromised. |
|
|
| Among the fixed vulnerabilities were bugs that allowed escalation of system privileges, remote code execution, and bypassing security features built into the operating system. |
|
| Furthermore, bugs have been fixed that allowed sensitive information to be leaked and paved the way for DoS and spoofing attacks. |
|
|
|
|
| While most of these bugs have been addressed, one vulnerability remains, identified as CVE-2024-38202, for which Microsoft has not yet released a permanent fix. |

How to install the new update |
| |
| Typically, Windows security updates are automatically downloaded and installed by the operating system. |
|
| However, it is possible that due to various technical issues, some updates may be skipped or delayed. |
|
| To ensure that your system is fully updated, and therefore protected, it is advisable to perform a manual check. |
|
| To do this, just open the Start menu, select "Settings", then "Update and Security", and finally access "Windows Update". From here, you can check if there are any updates waiting to be downloaded or installed. |
|
| Keeping your system updated is essential to protect yourself from the many threats that constantly emerge in the digital landscape. |
