Microsoft Windows Security Updates February 2020 overview

Welcome to the February 2020 overview of the Microsoft February 2020 Patch Day.

Microsoft continues to release Windows 7 updates but these are only supported on ESU machines. Our overview provides you with extensive Patch Day information including an overview of security and non-security updates, direct download links, known issues, and links to resources.
