A total of eight bulletins are released this month. Three of the bulletins have received a critical severity rating, the highest possible rating. The remaining five bulletins received a rating of important, the second highest rating.The eight bulletins patch a total of 19 different vulnerabilities in Microsoft products.As far as the affected software is concerned, six of the bulletins address issues in Microsoft Windows, and the remaining two vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office.You find detailed information about the bulletins below. This includes the operating system and Office distribution, deployment suggestions, links to each bulletin to look up additional information, information about non-security updates that were released since the last Patch Day, and finally instructions on how to download those updates to your PC.Operating System DistributionThe following list displays the bulletin distribution for each client and server operating system that Microsoft is supporting right now.On the client side, Windows RT takes the crown once again with the least amount of vulnerabilities, followed by Windows 7 and earlier versions of Windows. Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 are affected more than any other client operating system this time.On the server side of things, all Windows Server versions are affected in the same way by this month's security bulletins.Windows XP: 3 critical, 2 importantWindows Vista: 3 critical, 2 importantWindows 7: 3 critical, 2 importantWindows 8: 3 critical, 3 importantWindows 8.1: 3 critical, 3 importantWindows RT: 3 critical, 1 importantWindows RT 8.1: 3 critical, 1 importantWindows Server 2003: 1 critical, 3 important, 1 moderateWindows Server 2008: 1 critical, 3 important, 1 moderateWindows Server 2008 R2: 1 critical, 3 important, 1 moderateWindows Server 2012: 1 critical, 3 important, 1 moderateOffice DistributionOffice 2003 is only affected by one bulletin rated important, while all newer versions of Office are affected by an additional bulletin.Microsoft Office 2003: 1 importantMicrosoft Office 2007: 2 importantMicrosoft Office 2010: 2 importantMicrosoft Office 2013: 2 importantDeployment GuideMicrosoft releases a deployment guide on each Patch Day that offers suggestions for administrators and individual users about the order of deployment of the released Windows updates.Priorities are assigned to each bulletin using several factors including a bulletins severity rating, whether it is exploited in the wild, and other factors.While this may not be an issue at all on individual systems, as patches can be installed in a heartbeat on them, companies who do testing before patches are applied may use the information to test and deploy patches in optimal order using the guide.

eurobyn Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 be sure to turn off (Always) the antivirus software before updating windows !otherwise it will have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janedoe Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 IE11 for Windows7 worth upgrading?Absolutely, even IMO if you don't use IE. Since it's such an integral OS component better to keep it updated always, and anyway it is much improved now (although some sites/webdevs don't seem to have got the message yet unfortunately).be sure to turn off (Always) the antivirus software before updating windows !otherwise it will have problems.I've never once bothered to turn off my AV before running WU and have never faced any issues. If an AV causes problems with WU then such a useless piece of s...oftware should be uninstalled immediately. Anyone with problems should try to narrow down which particular update is failing, what the error code is (refer to event logs and WU log files) and so on.
