Microsoft’s October security release addressed roughly 1,400 vulnerabilities across Windows and other Microsoft products.

✅ Open Settings → Windows Update
✅ Check for available updates
✅ Install them
✅ Restart your PC if Windows asks you to
It’s also worth checking that Windows isn’t repeatedly failing an update or waiting indefinitely for a restart.
