Baylor BU Information Technology Services News Microsoft Releases Mandatory Security Patch for All Windows Users

Microsoft Releases Mandatory Security Patch for All Windows Users

July 9, 2021
Microsoft Headquarters in Washington

Earlier this week Microsoft reported a seriously critical security vulnerability - nicknamed by security researchers as PrintNightmare - that impacts all Windows-based systems. On Tuesday, Microsoft released a security update and strongly encourages all Windows users to apply it immediately.

If you have a Baylor-owned Windows-based device, Baylor ITS is actively pushing the security update to all campus systems. To manually check for the update or verify its installation on either your Baylor-owned or personal devices, check Windows Update and look for the 2021-07 Update (KB5004945 for Win 10 20H2 or KB5004946 for Win 10 1909). This helpful PDF resource can help you locate the update: How to Verify Windows Updates or Version

If you have questions or require assistance applying this update, please contact HelpDesk+ by visiting the garden level of Moody Library, calling (254) 710-4357, emailing helpdesk@baylor.edu, or initiating a service request at helpdesk.baylor.edu.
