January 2017 Rollup


Yesterday was the first Patch Tuesday of the new year, and today I am being offered KB3212646 - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3212646

As usual, I'm going to wait it out to see what, if any, issues there are with this month's security rollup.

Same here.

Smart move. However, this rollup may be more reliable than usual because there were no new non-security updates introduced last month:

December 20, 2016 (Preview of Monthly Rollup)
There are no new quality improvements or fixes available to preview in December 2016. As such, there is no Preview of Monthly Rollup release for this month.

But, as usual, we'll just have to wait and see how quickly Woody Leonhard changes his MS-DEFCON rating: https://www.askwoody.com/

Adobe recently released updates to Flash Player and Acrobat Reader, and I did install both of those today.
