Microsoft Urges Users To Install Windows 8.1 Update To Receive New Patches

If you have not updated your operating system with the latest Windows 8.1 update, you may not be lucky enough to receive the latest patches from Microsoft intended to fix the vulnerabilities associated with Internet Explorer. Among the seven different bulletins, the major one is aimed to fix IE issues and others are for addressing the 59 other vulnerabilities.

One of the questions on Microsoft Security Blog made by Dustin Childs was "Does a vulnerability make a sound if it never gets exploited?" To this, the software giant responded, "When we become aware of a potential security issue, we work to fix it regardless of whether or not it is under active attack. In other words, it doesn't matter if that falling tree makes a noise; we still have an action to take." Keep in mind that there were a large number of queries regarding the new patches.

Windows Vista help center says the update is not for all. The software giant has made it clear that only those users who have installed the Windows 8.1 update released in April could install the new patches. The last date for enterprise customers to update the operating system with the update is August 12. Within this date, they should upgrade their operating systems from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1U. At first, Microsoft had set this period to be 5 weeks. However, due to large pressure from various corners, the company decided to extend this date further by three weeks. It was May 13 then. However, it was further extended to June 10 before the end of the stipulated date.

According to Windows Vista help center, the new set of patches has 59 CVEs. Out of these 59 CVEs, 21 are to fix bugs in Internet Explorer 8. As you cannot compromise on the security of your internet browser, it is important that you upgrade your operating system with the Windows 8.1 Update and then install these updates. The new update is available to download from the official website of Microsoft. Once you install these updates, your operating system could receive all future updates without any restrictions.

After the end of support for Windows XP, many customers had updated their computers with Windows 8 operating system. However, with the release of Windows 8.1, which was made available free to the Windows 8 users, many of them upgraded to it. Now, this is the latest in the series of updates, which is mandatory for the smooth running of the operating system.  

What To Do If Outlook Is Not Working

It widely acknowledged that Microsoft Outlook is the most widely used personal manger program in the world. The best feature of it is its inbuilt email manager, which people use for managing their email. Microsoft tries hard to keep the program free from corruptions and attacks by releasing updates every now and then. But Outlook will throw issues at you at some point of time. Here we discuss some simple steps that you should take for fixing some of the common ones.

The very first thing that you need to do if you cannot start Outlook or when you get an error message, is to find the real reason for the occurrence of error. In most situations, the error might be caused just after installing a new component to the system, like a toolbar or add-in. Often updating your software might lead to such error. You need to find out what all changes you made to the system after a successful run, and before the occurrence of error message.

So it is advised that you find the problem that has caused the error and revoke those changes for fixing the issue with the Outlook program. Usually the error would fade away and you will not get the error message or face a situation where you cannot start Outlook.

A slow or inactive internet connection may also cause problems. So make sure that the computer is connected to the internet, and that the connection is uninterrupted when you’re online. If it’s inactive, disable the connection and re-enable it to see if that’s enough to get outlook to connect.

You may still get the error message even if you have an active internet connection, due to the issues on the email provider’s side. Call them up and see if that’s the case, so at least you know there’s nothing to be done from your side.

Maybe you’ve changed the password for the email account, and forgot to make the same change in Outlook. If so, update the password so the client can login successfully. Also, make sure that the Outlook settings are well configured and all settings are correctly made. It only takes one of the fields containing the wrong details for you to be barred from accessing mail.

Some virus attacks might also lead to issues with the email client. So find the real reason behind the error, and fix the problem accordingly. If you are having trouble fixing the issue, feel free to contact our Outlook support team.
