Microsoft refuses to Patch Tuesday for Windows 10

Microsoft announced the rejection of the well-known Patch Tuesday model of delivering security updates for Windows 10 and the components working on it. Now for home users of Windows 10, security updates will come immediately after they are released by the company, without waiting for other products to update on a fixed day. Microsoft released security updates every second Tuesday of the month, with the exception of some updates for exploit-ITW vulnerabilities that required immediate closure due to their high level of danger.



For corporate users of Windows 10, Patch Tuesday, apparently, will continue to exist. MS explains this by saying that already released updates at the time of their centralized release to corporate users will be run-in on regular users. This minimizes the risks of installing updates for corporate users in the case when the update may damage the stability of the OS or make it inoperable.
