Per Microsoft, that's "Two weeks after your latest monthly security update and about two weeks before you'll see these features become part of the next mandatory cumulative update," which is the optimal time for testing.

April 2023 Patch Tuesday forecast Microsoft has stepped up the security fixes in their operating systems so we should see that trend continue.

We've seen more updates to the Office suite, so plan for your on-premise and click-to-run versions to have major updates.

Google released beta updates for Chrome OS and Chrome for Desktop, so there could be a formal release for them next week.

Mozilla continued to release on Patch Tuesday in March so expect updates for Firefox, Firefox ESR, and Thunderbird next week.

Often pulled along as unwilling participants, it is critical that we maintain the pace and update our systems as the patches are released to stay one step ahead of the competition.
