Microsoft Windows Security Updates August 2022 overview

Microsoft released security and non-security updates for all supported client and server versions of the Windows operating system on the August 2022 Patch Day.

The updates are available already via Windows Update and other update management services.

Our patch overview for the Windows August 2022 Patch Tuesday is created as a reference for system administrators and home users alike. It lists important information about the released patches, includes links to support pages and direct downloads, lists known issues and includes a listing of non-security updates that Microsoft released.
