It's Patch Tuesday. As always on the second Tuesday of each month the latest security updates and patches are made available by Microsoft and if your computer is set to receive automatic updates expect a system restart in the next day or two. This month marks the 10 year anniversary of Patch Tuesday but it still catches users by surprise. This time around expect 8 security updates to Windows Internet Explorer, .Net, Office and Silverlight.

I have been using Windows 8 in either beta or official version since September of 2011, Facebook Post, at that time I installed the beta on an unimpressive Windows 7 Acer Iconia W500 Tablet. The transformation was instantaneous and I have loved the system ever since. However there has been a lot of grumbling about the OS and I understand and sympathize with those that find new Metro Interface intrusive and lament the loss of the familiar Start Button and default Desktop. However those issues have been addressed the Windows 8.1 and to help ease your implementation I have included some helpful links below.
