TL;DR

Microsoft released a massive Patch Tuesday, fixing 398 vulnerabilities across Windows and related software, including a zero-day in afd.sys (CVE-2026-68820) and two other publicly disclosed flaws; 42 fixes are critical. AI aided vulnerability discovery, but patching remains heavily human-driven and requires testing.
