That's much simpler. Second Tuesday. What they never say is what TIME these updates are available. Do you have to wait until Wednesday to be sure they're available, or did M$ put them there on Monday so you can get them Tuesday?

It matters, when it's important to install updates as soon as you can. I don't think I remember a time when the general advice was to install updates as soon as possible. It was always wait a week or so to let others find any issues, until recent months when it became more of a case of not installing updates at all if you wanted to keep your pre-10 system safe. Safe from the upgrade to 10, I mean. |

I don't think it's always the same time. They become available on the second Tuesday whenever Microsoft makes them available, and it varies from month to month. Do you have to wait until Wednesday to be sure they're available, In my experience, that's never been the case. It's usually been late morning Pacific Standard Time, but I suppose if you're someplace like Australia or New Zealand, that could be Wednesday in your time zone. or did M$ put them there on Monday so you can get them Tuesday? I have *never* seen that happen. It matters, when it's important to install updates as soon as you can. Why does a possible difference of only an hour or two matter? |

It matters, when it's important to install updates as soon as you can. Not everything arrives on Patch Tuesday, the second Tuesday of the month. E.g. An update to 3035583 was released on Wed, not Tuesday. Not all devices though will receive the updates via Windows Update at the same time when they become available. In some cases, the KB article lags the push down via WU(not often but it has occured), and with the future change to switch to the Catalog instead of the download Center, the updates availability in the Catalog could precede the availability in WU. -- ...winston msft mvp windows experience |

Also, it looks like the 3rd (?) Tuesday is when non-security updates are released. Well, not in this specific case. '5583' a non-security update was released on Wednesday -- ...winston msft mvp windows experience |

That sounds reasonable, but I still wonder why people leave that out, making "Second Tuesday" less meaningful. -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/ "I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

An hour or two? How did you get the day to be that short? (consider that 12:01 AM and 11:59 PM are almost 24 hours apart, but they're both Tuesday). My point was simply that whether you install it at noon on Tuesday or a time like 1:00 pm or 2:00 pm (an hour or two difference) makes no difference. There should be no rush to get it a short time sooner than everyone else. And what happened to the advice to install updates as soon as possible, hopefully before your system is attacked? As far as I'm concerned, it's good advice *if* by "as soon as possible," you mean not waiting several days. A few hours is highly unlikely to matter. |
