Non-security updates to Microsoft Office tend to occur on the&nbsp;first&nbsp;Tuesday of each month and firmware updates for Microsoft's Surface devices on the&nbsp;third&nbsp;Tuesday of every month. Lifewire Most Windows users will experience more of a Patch Wednesday because they're prompted to install, or notice the installation of, the updates downloaded via&nbsp;Windows Update&nbsp;on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Some half-jokingly refer to the day after Patch Tuesday as Crash Wednesday, referring to the troubles that sometimes accompany a computer after the patches are installed (honestly, this rarely happens).

A number of other products are receiving patches this month, too. You can see the full list on Microsoft's Security Update Guide page, along with the associated KB articles and security vulnerability details. Just set the date filter mode to Update Tuesday, and then choose October 2022, to avoid showing previous months' updates.

While this change goes for both security updates and non-security updates, and Microsoft is clearly updating Windows 10 and Windows 11 outside of Patch Tuesday, so far they still seem to be pushing a majority of the updates to their latest operating system on Patch Tuesday. Was this page helpful?
