Microsoft's January Patch Tuesday: 114 Fixes, Real Chaos, and Why You Can't Wait
Microsoft BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Microsoft just unleashed its massive January 2026 Patch Tuesday, slamming the door on 114 Windows vulnerabilities, including a nasty actively exploited Desktop Window Manager flaw now on CISA's must-patch list, as reported by The Hacker News. Eight critical bugs and over 50 privilege escalations later, IT pros are scrambling, but the real drama hit when those patches sparked chaos—Remote Desktop logins tanked for enterprises on Windows 11 25H2 and 24H2, Outlook Classic crashed on POP accounts, and some older 23H2 rigs refused to shut down properly, per Windows Latest and Cyberpress.org. Microsoft played hero fast, dropping emergency out-of-band fixes like KB5077744 and KB5077797 on January 17 via Update Catalog, restoring connections without yanking the originals—though Outlook woes linger, and unpatched glitches like black screens have users fuming.
On the biz front, AlfaPeople highlights juicy Dynamics 365 tweaks for smarter finance and sales, Power Platform upgrades with Vibe Code in Power Apps, and Copilot Studio's multi-agent AI magic, all primed for digital overhauls. Microsoft Marketplace buzzed with 399 new AI apps and agents on January 15, from Everfox cyber shields to Sky Support AI for airports, via Tech Community. Office got its security tune-up too, with KB5002831 for Excel 2016 and kin, straight from support.microsoft.com. Licensing whispers from Longview Systems tease Microsoft 365 Copilot Business at $21 per user for SMBs since December, plus July pricing hikes packing more AI and Defender muscle into E3/E5 plans.
No big exec spotlights or X storms, but these patches underscore Microsoft's high-stakes security tango—vital for its Windows empire amid rising threats. Patch pronto, or risk the fallout.
