Patch Tuesday habits for busy offices
A lightweight cadence so Windows and Microsoft 365 updates do not become quarterly fire drills.
Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday is predictable. Surprise outages after skipping three months are not.
A simple cadence
- Read the release notes for anything touching VPN clients or line-of-business apps
- Pilot on IT devices within 48 hours
- Ring out to staff within a week unless a zero-day forces faster
Do not forget firmware
Firewalls, access points, and printer OS updates are still patches, even when Windows Update is green.
