Identified - Microsoft has released critical security updates for Windows Server as part of its July 2026 Patch Tuesday.
Details here: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-july-2026-patch-tuesday-fixes-massive-570-flaws-3-zero-days/
We will deploy these updates this weekend as part of our scheduled patching cycle.
To ensure continued secure and reliable connectivity to your systems, we are also rolling out an update to our RDP tooling across our client base ahead of the Windows patching. This update can be applied to live systems without disruption, but requires a reboot, which our technical team will perform out of hours.
Schedule:
Tonight (after hours): RDP tooling update and reboots
Tomorrow night: Windows Server security patching
In some niche cases with clients with older versions, a reboot during the day may be required.
No action is required from your side. If you experience any connectivity issues following the maintenance windows, please contact our support team.
