Microsoft’s regular monthly round of vulnerability fixes dropped as scheduled on Tuesday 14 April, containing a handful of zero-days and critical updates for security teams to pore over. So far, so normal. But this month’s Patch Tuesday was rather more notable then many other recent updates because it was, by some margin, the second-largest update in history by volume, comprising over 160 distinct flaws – October 2025 saw 175 – and rising to nearly 250 once third-party and Chromium updates were taken into account. Almost immediately, commentators rushed to invoke the unavoidable spectre of artificial intelligence (AI). Vulnerability expert…
