Solved Here we go again - Jan 2025 Patch Tuesday
Well-known member

I used to look forward to Patch Tuesday. Lately, I dread it, worried that yet another thing will get broken by Microsoft. At the very least I am hoping that they fix some of the things they broke in recent months rather than break more stuff.
We are now 1 hour from release of this month's patches. Time to ensure that all my systems are properly backed up before it hits the fan in an hour.
Any wagers? My bet is that they break more stuff than they fix
. I have zero confidence in MS "fixes" lately. I have previously stated that there are always bugs, but the number of things that were working just fine that have been broken by "fixes" in recent months is rather surprising even to me

Or at 12 noon my time
. I guess that you must be 7 hours ahead of me.
EDIT: For clarification, patches roll out at 18:00 UTC.

January is just scarier, because in recent years, there's no December Preview to forecast what's been updated.
I think this week's patch Tuesday will be relatively smooth.

I do not understand this attitude. If you have a recent disk image and the updates 'break' something, it would only take a few minutes to go back to a previous version.
