Microsoft released the following security and nonsecurity updates for Office in January 2018. These updates are intended to help our customers keep their computers up-to-date. We recommend that you install all updates that apply to you.
Microsoft Security Update Releases (22. Januar 2018)
On January 3, 2018, Microsoft released an advisory and security updates related to a newly-discovered class of hardware vulnerabilities (known as Spectre and Meltdown) involving speculative execution side channels that affect AMD, ARM, and Intel processors to varying degrees. This class of vulnerabilities is based on a common chip architecture that was originally designed to speed up computers. You can learn more about these vulnerabilities at Google Project Zero.
Starting in March 2018, Microsoft released security updates to provide mitigations for devices running the following x86-based Windows operating systems. Customers should install latest Windows operating system security updates to take advantage of available protections. We are working to provide protections for other supported Windows versions but do not have a release schedule at this time. Please check back here for updates. For more information, see the related Knowledge Base article for technical details and the "FAQ" section.

After applying the February 2018 Windows Security Update, HoloLens customers do not have to take any additional action to update their device firmware. These mitigations will also be included in all future releases of Windows 10 for HoloLens.
In each Windows 10 feature update, we build the latest security technology deep into the operating system, providing defense-in-depth features that prevent entire classes of malware from impacting your device. Feature update releases are targeted twice a year. In each monthly quality update, we add another layer of security that tracks emerging and changing trends in malware to make up-to-date systems safer in the face of changing and evolving threats.
No. Security Only updates are not cumulative. Depending on the operating system version you are running, you must install the all released Security Only updates to be protected against these vulnerabilities. For example, if you are running Windows 7 for 32-bit Systems on an affected Intel CPU you have to install every Security Only update starting from January 2018. We recommend installing these Security Only updates in the order of release. Note An earlier version of this FAQ stated incorrectly that the February Security Only update included the security fixes released in January. In fact, it does not.
On March 18, 2016, in response to criticism from enterprise customers, Microsoft delayed the end of support and non-critical updates for Skylake systems to July 17, 2018, but stated that they would also continue to receive security updates through the end of extended support.[127][128] In August 2016, citing a "strong partnership with our OEM partners and Intel", Microsoft retracted the decision and stated that it would continue to support Windows 7 and 8.1 on Skylake hardware through the end of their extended support lifecycle. However, the restrictions on newer CPU microarchitectures remain in force.[129][130]
So the problem is confirmed, and is being investigated, and the fix is supposed to be available in one of the upcoming releases. Currently, the only thing left to do is to uninstall the security update in question. If the Hyper-V of other Windows Server versions is affected, I can't say exactly at the moment. If someone has problems with other Hyper-V versions, he can leave a comment.
Earlier today, Microsoft published the January 2018 Patch Tuesday security updates, containing fixes for 56 vulnerabilities and three special security advisories with fixes for Adobe Flash, the Meltdown & Spectre flaws, and a defense-in-depth update for Office applications.
The Thales Enterprise and Cybersecurity Team has investigated the recently announced ADFS vulnerabilities and determined that Thales ADFS agents are not impacted by the CVE-2018-8340. Customers are advised to ensure that they update the latest patch (MFA) from Microsoft (CVE-2018-8340) to mitigate the risk. At this time we do not have any evidence of any exploit of this vulnerability in our ADFS agent.
In making that change with Windows 11, Microsoft acknowledged some IT pros' grumblings that biannual Windows 10 feature update releases were just too frequent. The once-per-year Windows 11 feature updates also promise to be less disruptive for end users. Microsoft uses artificial intelligence to gauge machine readiness for feature updates, and also tracks a user's active hours to optimize update deliveries. Windows 11 advances from Windows 10 with a rounded corners design change, plus more stringent security hardware requirements. [BACK TO PRODUCT LIST] 2ff7e9595c
