Newer updates replace October 2026.
Microsoft fixed 1474 CVEs, 94 critical and 1 exploited; 1 known issue is still open; out-of-band fixes followed on 26 Oct. See November 2026 Patch Tuesday.
59 of these CVEs were added after 13 Oct 2026; the release-day timeline keeps the original publication dates.
