Adobe Acrobat and Reader were having major updates once a quarter, but that trend has been broken with more frequent updates the past few months.
If you missed last Patch Tuesday's updates, most of the personal, creative apps received security updates so deploy them soon.
Apple released some major security OS updates in September, and I've not heard of any reported major vulnerabilities, so I don't expect another update next week.
Mozilla released security update Thunderbird 102.3.1 last week, so anticipate updates soon for Firefox and Firefox ESR. Let's hope we get a few treats from Microsoft next week with security solutions for Exchange Server, deployment fixes for Windows 11, and more!
