Microsoft releases 161 Windows security updates

Speaking of Microsoft shipping bad code, how about an absolutely humongous patch Tuesday'?

Microsoft today unleashed updates to plug a whopping 161 security vulnerabilities in Windows and related software, including three zero-day" weaknesses that are already under active attack. Redmond's inaugural Patch Tuesday of 2025 bundles more fixes than the company has shipped in one go since 2017.
