Security News > 2020 > April > April 2020 Patch Tuesday forecast: Uncertainty reigns, but patching endures through pandemic
Two days after March Patch Tuesday Microsoft released an update for the Windows SMBv3 vulnerability associated with CVE-2020-0796.
There is no control over the update being applied on a system running Home edition, so for employees, or their children doing schoolwork, this update could be very disruptive.
April 2020 Patch Tuesday forecast Microsoft should provide their regular updates across the board for the latest Windows 10 workstations and servers as well as the usual applications, i.e. Office, SharePoint, etc.
Google released a security update for Chrome this week, so I don't expect to see anything on Patch Tuesday.
We should have a smaller set of updates than usual released next week.
