The security newsletter in October caused Windows 2k errors

The Microsoft Security Problems Response Center (MSRC) has just had to revise its security bulletin after users repeatedly complain about problems caused by fixes in them. .

It seems that Windows 2000 operating system users who have installed Microsoft DirectX 8.0 or DirectX 9.0 have problems choosing the appropriate security patches in their monthly Security Bulletin. So many times users have installed inappropriate patches that put their system at risk of remote attack by executing dangerous code.

An MSRC spokesperson said the center had confirmed and made any mistakes related to the issue. However, the spokesman also stressed that only a handful of Windows 2000 operating system users will be affected by this error.

The MS05-050 security patch fix is ​​included in the Microsoft security bulletin in October with detailed information on error-causing issues and troubleshooting instructions.

According to that information, Microsoft explained that users - through the distribution system of Microsfot's automatic security patches - installed a separate DirectX 7.0 update for systems running Windows 2000 with Installing DirectX 8 or DirectX 9 and a new patch in the October Security Bulletin cannot fix security bugs in its responsibility. Not only that, the user does not receive any notifications that the security patches are not installed.
