How to download and install the June 2016 security updates

microsoft security bulletins june 2016

The security updates that Microsoft published on the June 2016 Patch Day are already available via Windows Update.

While the updates will get picked up eventually, it is possible to run a manual check for updates to speed up the process.

  1. Tap on the Windows-key, type Windows Update, and hit the Enter-key afterwards.
  2. Click on the check for updates button to run a manual check for new updates for the operating system.

Windows will check for updates and either download and install them automatically, only download them, or prompt you for actions.

Please note that it is recommended to research Windows updates before you install them to avoid issues after installing them.

Some updates are made available via Microsoft's Download Center, while all security updates via Microsoft's Update Catalog.

All security updates are also made available via security ISO images that Microsoft releases on a monthly basis.

    After the June 2016 patch day my Windows 7 Action Center erroneously reported that antivirus, spyware protection and firewall (Norton 360 premier) were turned off. A system restore removed these 3 flags. After today’s Windows Update they’re back again. Does anyone know which of the 19 updates may be the culprit?

      @Harry Aiking,
      Your problem is prbly related to an unfortunately-timed (and apparently not-quite-ready-for-prime-time) Norton product update (22.7), initially released then pulled; for more info see…

    ” Admins in outcry as Microsoft fix borks Group Policy”

    ” Users on Reddit and Microsoft support forums are reporting that after the MS16-072 update was installed, changes were made in Group Policy object (GPO) settings that left previously hidden drives and devices accessible. … Other users report having printers and drive maps become inaccessible and security group settings no longer applying. … The users report that uninstalling the MS16-072 update from PCs and servers remedies the problem, though it is at the expense of leaving the underlying security vulnerability open. … El Reg has asked Microsoft for comment on the matter but has yet to hear back from Redmond at the time of publication. ”

    Martin,
    There are some concerns with doing Wind 7 updates. After doing reinstall after windows update broke my system. I did BUY a new windows o/s and upgrade to Professional.
    Especially with windows updates (as of June 2016).

    I would advise if you have experience with your system to follow along and verify?

    The -Op Out- Options in Windows control systems are being ignored?

    GO TO: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Change settings

    After shutting it off?
    Computer Maintenance – OFF
    Other Settings – (x) Allow users to browse for trouble shooters available from Windows Online Troubleshooting service (x) Allow troubleshooting to begin immediately when started

    I really don’t need those checked? This is where the telemetry crap originates.
    Beginners should keep them checked.

    NOTE THERE IS A BLUE “READ THE PRIVACY STATEMENT ONLINE”

    Even though I opted out? The Task Manger proves otherwise?

    In my opinion there should be an Opt-Out Setting. Too late as Windows 10 takes away that right?

    GO TO: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Action Center\Change Action Center settings
    DON’T MEDDLE WITH THE CHECK MARKS. LEAVE THEM BE IF YOU WANT YOUR SYSTEM
    PROTECTED. But there is one glaring one that I wasn’t notified when I installed windows.
    Under related settings: See that blue “Customer Experience Improvement Program Settings”
    When you click that there is a prompt:
    Do you want to participate in the the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program?
    I selected No. Because.

    After getting some lags at certain times. I did an AUDIT. And some of you better sit down.
    After several days. I decided to AUDIT the Task Scheduler under
    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools
    Select : Run as Admin for “Task Scheduler”

    JUST A WARNING FOR the paranoid. Do not change these settings unless you are experienced.
    And to protect your system. But this needs to be brought forth to the windows community.

    Despite the settings in Control Panel.

    There are some glaring entries:

    Customer Experience Improvement Program – Even though it’s set to never it connected at
    a pre determined time. Don’t delete them. But disable them?
    They (MS) needs to be audited and who knows if Windows update is enabling these
    behind our backs? Right? I shut it off at the control panel? What gives?

    Disk Diagnostic – Same here settings I didn’t authorize?
    The Windows Disk Diagnostic reports general disk and system information to Microsoft for users participating in the Customer Experience Program.
    Right click and disable it? Again don’t delete!

    \Microsoft\Windows\Customer Experience Improvement Program
    Titled: Consolidator “If the user has consented to participate in the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program, this job collects and sends usage data to Microsoft.” and it starts %SystemRoot%\System32\wsqmcons.exe

    Again I opted out in Control Panel yet Task Manager proves otherwise?

    The USB CEIP (Customer Experience Improvement Program)
    “This task collects Universal Serial Bus related statistics and information about your machine and sends it to the Windows Device Connectivity engineering group at Microsoft. The information received is used to help improve the reliability, stability, and overall functionality of USB in Windows. If the user has not consented to participate in Windows CEIP, this task does not do anything.”

    Task manager ignored my initial settings?

    The most troubling one is Reliability Analysis Component (RAC)

    RAC the RAC Agent Scheduled Task – Reliability Analysis Component (RAC)
    This one I deleted because it kept being enabled and it locked up my system.
    Every time it was the only time.

    Those are the only settings that I have a concern with. I wouldn’t be concerned with the others, yet.

    Does Windows 10 have the ability manipulate the Task Manager?
    Maybe some of the nags could be shut off there?

    Thanks for listening.

      There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust the settings. We are controlling everything. If we wish to make things faster, we will stop some useless tasks. If we wish to make it slower, we will start useless tasks and grind it nearly to a halt. We will control the RAM. We will control the CPU. We can control the screen, make it blank. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. From now on, sit quietly and we will control all that you see, hear and do. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your computer. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to – Microsoft Windows 10.

        If you ignore our warning and continue to meddle with our software, you WILL be visited by the TERMINATOR.
        You will not like what he does to you !

    I recommend to wait several days until someone reviewed it and people reporting it’s ‘good to install’. Since I’m LTSB N user I don’t have this problem. :P

    Thanks for the news anyway. :)

    Win 7 KB 2952664 ! MS is still trying to sneak in the Win 10 update enabler.

    It’s becoming a bit pathetic now isn’t it Martin? Have you heard what the latest Win 10 installed base is lately?
    MS has been very quiet with no bragging about numbers.

      It’s clear that they are going to shove 2664 and 5583 down our throats from now till at least July 29.

      I have mine set to reject all non-criticals. Hopefully they stop this aggression after July.
