On Tuesday, May 13, 2014, Microsoft is planning to release eight (8) bulletins. Two of the bulletins are identified as Critical with the other six as Important.
The updates address vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows, Office, Internet Explorer and .NET Framework.
Note: In the event you have had problems with .NET Framework in the past, it is advised that it be installed separately with a shutdown/restart.
If you've run into the situation where install an update for the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 takes a long time, consider the Microsoft Fix it solutions located in Installing updates for the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 can take longer than expected in some scenarios.
