Microsoft issues record 570 security patches using AI
Microsoft released a record 570 security patches across Windows, Office and other product lines on its monthly Patch Tuesday release, saying AI tools helped uncover a higher volume of vulnerabilities. At least two of the flaws are classified as zero-days; one (CVE-2026-56155) affects Windows Server and allows privilege escalation, while a SharePoint bug was reported by the U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA to be actively exploited. Microsoft said AI-enabled discovery is increasing the number of issues found, and Windows leader Pavan Davuluri warned customers they will see more frequent, larger security updates as a result.
Microsoft Extends Windows 10 Security Updates to 2027
Microsoft has extended its Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for Windows 10 by one year: the ESU availability for consumers now runs until 12 October 2027, rather than October 2026. The company updated a Windows blog post to reflect the change and noted the extension applies explicitly to private customers. In the European Union, security updates under ESU have been provided free of charge (users must link their PC to a Microsoft account). Devices already enrolled in ESU will continue to receive updates automatically, and others can still sign up after the announcement. Market-share data from May 2026 shows Windows 10 at 26.2% and Windows 11 at 71.8% of registered Windows desktops.
