    Today's Windows Update from 1511 10586.164 to 10586.218 has cleared up my woes! Win10

    According to Krebs, this WU was "to plug critical security holes in Windows and other software. The company issued 13 patches to tackle dozens of vulnerabilities, including a much-hyped "Badlock" file-sharing bug that appears ripe for exploitation. Also,
    Adobe updated its Flash Player release to address at least two-dozen flaws -- in addition to the zero-day vulnerability Adobe patched last week."

    I'm tempted to ask Krebs to add "It also included a fix for 's poorly PC".
    ;o)

    Yet another Adobe Flash security hole that needs patching. Win10

    According to this Qualys article, Adobe released

    APSB16-36     yesterday "to fix one 0-day vulnerability in Flash. The vulnerability is currently being used in active attacks and therefore Adobe released this emergency fix. If left un-patched, attackers can remotely take
    complete control of the machine."

    When will Microsoft release its update for its embedded Flash in Win10 please?
