We’re ready… soon as we finish doing all of the Windows Security Bulletins, this is next on our list.

When critical updates like these are released, does an email go out much like it does for the release of Windows Updates?

Yes, I think there’s an announcement list here for updates for windows apps. Usually something goes out to accompany publication and content modification, just like for the Windows Security Bulletins.

I get emails that go to ‘besadmin-announcements@bigmail.bigfix.com’, but they are usually only for the site Patches for Windows. Are there email notifications for the site ‘Update for Windows Applications’ ?
