> Patches were released in March, but many seem to have put off security-critical patching.
In fairness to some of the unpatched - the last round of Windows 10 updates refused to install on some machines (well, mine and some others on Twitter), and trapped me in an endless loop of download-install-fail-download. When this happened my landline internet was down, so this was happening over 4G tethering, and burning up $20/day in cellphone data until I just turned off my internet/tethering.
I'm not saying don't patch (you should!), just that even people trying to stay patched and do the right thing can find they're unable to do so.
You are absolutely correct, people are even still wary after the aggressive Windows 10 update tricks, so it is extremely unfortunate yet does make some sense.
I hope Microsoft can find a way to earn trust back, this problem is going to get much worse if people do not install security patches ASAP when released.
