After manually checking for updates on my Win10 machines they found this.

This brings Win10 to OS Build 15063.632.
Cheers!
SoulAsylum:Wondering if this is "silently" a part of the reason for this update, its downloading on my machine now with a "manual" update check. MS site doesn't say they're patching the issue in the thread below as of yet.

Microsoft said in a response provided to Threatpost:
“The technique described has limited practical applicability. To be successful, an attacker would first need to convince a user to give manual consent to execute an unknown binary from an untrusted remote location. The user would also need to click through additional warnings in order to grant the attacker Administrator privileges. Should the attacker successfully convince a user to carry out the manual steps mentioned, Windows Defender Antivirus and Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection will detect further actions by the attacker.”

No, that's a different bug. Microsoft have said that isn't a security risk.

I miss them over there with their site being half broken. Get well soon website!
Microsoft doesn't seem bothered about downloading this update to my computers.
I tried a manual update on one, it then froze at 3% and spat the dummy saying some of the files were corrupted or there were errors.
My other computer did an auto check and reckons there's nothing to update. Fine by me.
I'll wait until the infamous Fall Update................

I see. It must be patch Tuesday (plus a week, plus Monday). And it still has known defects inherited from the last update. Supposedly it fixes a previous performance botch/update.
