Update[German]On May 10, 2022, Microsoft released security updates for Windows clients and servers, for Office, etc. – as well as for other products – were released. Below is a compact overview of these updates that were released on Patchday. The May 2022 security updates address 75 vulnerabilities, three of which are 0-day, in Microsoft products. Vulnerabilities in the Printer Spooler are also included again. At the same time, remember that Windows 10 1909 and 20H2 will receive security updates for the last time and will fall out of support (see Windows 10: Version 1909 and 20H2 reaching end of support on May 10, 2022).

A list of updates can be found on this Microsoft page. Details on update packages for Windows, Office, etc. are available in separate blog posts.

Notes on the updates

Windows 10 version 20H2 to 21H2 use a common core and have an identical set of system files. Therefore, the same security update will be delivered for these Windows 10 versions. Information on how to enable the features of Windows 10, which is done through an Enablement Package update, can be found in this Techcommunity post.

All Windows 10 updates are cumulative. The monthly Patchday update includes all security fixes for Windows 10 and all non-security fixes up to Patchday. In addition to vulnerability security patches, the updates include security enhancement measures. Microsoft is integrating the Servicing Stack Updates (SSUs) into the Latest Cumulative Updates (LCUs) for newer versions of Windows 10. A list of the latest SSUs can be found at ADV990001 (although the list is not always up-to-date).

Windows 7 SP1 is no longer supported as of January 2020. Only customers with a 3rd year ESU license (or bypass measures) will still receive updates. With the current ESU bypass lets install the update. Updates can also be downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog. The updates for Windows RT 8.1 and Microsoft Office RT are only available via Windows Update.

The May 2022 security updates fix 75 vulnerabilities, three of which are 0-day, in Microsoft products. A list of all covered CVEs can be found on this Microsoft page. Tenable also has this blog post with an overview – the following critical updates are included in May 2022.
