While KB5070311 fixes the File Explorer lockup, apparently it cause File Explorer to flash when running in dark mode. So much for a "more consistent Dark Mode".

They need to work on refining the operating system such that it isn't such a kraken to maintain.

For KB5070311, total combined download/install time for me was 13 minutes. 5 minutes to download, 8 minutes to install, at the same time I had an update for Adobe Premier Pro going along with a new release of Symantec Endpoint Protection.

The December patch payload is pretty significant:

29 Elevation of privilege vulnerabilities
19 Remote code execution vulnerabilities
4 Information disclosure vulnerabilities
3 Denial of service vulnerabilities
2 Spoofing vulnerabilities
1 Partridge in a pear tree

Three zero-days (two exploited) including one in PowerShell!

The critical updates are all part of Office.

It is hard to imagine how they can continually find so many bugs month after month.

These windows updates kill my data feed to the RedH firmware monitor, and I have to restart it after I notice it. If I could use Linux, I would, but this is a Python script that spins off multiple tasks that were all written for windows, and simulating clicking on Windows buttons in the window for each subtask.
