Microsoft tells the news:
"An optional out-of-band update is now available in the Microsoft Update catalog to address a known issue where devices using a proxy, especially those using a virtual private network (VPN), may show a status limited or no internet connection. We recommend that you install this optional update only if you have experienced this issue on your system. "
In short, therefore, you need to install the updates manually, and only if you have got to check the problem limited or no connectivity when using a proxy or a VPN. The patches are not available through Windows Update, but only and exclusively within the Microsoft Update Catalog. For convenience, we list the individual links below:
If you don't use VPN or proxy, or you haven't noticed any problems, installing the patches is useless. As usual, moreover, all the fixes will be included in the updates that will be released during the Patch Tuesday of next month.
