Hot Take:

Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday for November 2025 is like a cybersecurity holiday where everyone gets delightful updates instead of gifts. With over 60 vulnerabilities fixed, it’s clear that Microsoft is trying to stay on the ‘nice’ list this year. But with a Kernel bug being actively exploited, it seems like some hackers are still trying to play the Grinch. Better luck next time, hackers—Microsoft’s elves are on the case!

Key Points:

  • Microsoft addressed 63 vulnerabilities in their November 2025 Patch Tuesday updates.
  • Four vulnerabilities were rated as Critical and 59 as Important.
  • A Windows Kernel zero-day vulnerability was actively exploited and patched.
  • The drop in the number of fixes is linked to Windows 10 no longer receiving updates.
