Windows 10 Security Flaw

[Don M.]

Last night, while doing my final check of e-mails, etc., I saw this article about the NSA finding a flaw in Windows 10....and a recommendation that everyone do an update ASAP. So, I fired up a manual update, and went to bed. This morning, the system was waiting for a Restart, which I did while eating breakfast. It looks like the update went smoothly and my system is working normally. I would Suggest that everyone do an update/restart...there is no evidence that the hackers have caused any problems, but that may happen to unprotected systems.

Thanks for the heads up. The update errors out for me, but I'll try again later today.

Yeah. I just caught that article today. But, I already updated with the fix yesterday. Interesting that NHS found it and reported it and it was addressed right away.
