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".

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.

Are we approaching the Irish Potato Famine point yet? All these Businesses have had decades of using Microsoft Windows for Office automation and they are all just a bad patch away from being out of commission.

... and they are all just a bad patch away from being out of commission.

Windows users at various levels have already experienced some such patches. The ones (like the recent one) that prevent removing the patch until Microsoft deigns to provide a workaround are particularly devastating.
