Microsoft releases out-of-band security update to fix IE zero-day & Defender bug

I just downloaded the update about an hour ago and it did fine. I opened settings/Updates and security/Windows update and then clicked on check for updates. Critical and patched out of cycle it's that bad.

Excerpt:

"Microsoft has released an emergency out-of-band security update today to fix two critical security issues -- a zero-day vulnerability in the Internet Explorer scripting engine that has been exploited in the wild, and a Microsoft Defender bug.

The updates stand out because Microsoft usually likes to stay the course and only release security updates on the second Tuesday of every month. The company rarely breaks this pattern, and it's usually only for very important security issues.

This is one of those rare occasions, and Windows users are advised to install today's updates as soon as possible. The patch for the IE zero-day is a manual update, while the Defender bug will be patched via a silent update."
