How is the date of Patch Tuesday decided?
The second Tuesday of every month, the published cadence for Microsoft’s scheduled security updates.
That matters for a countdown because a rule can be evaluated for any year, this one or one twenty years out, without waiting for an announcement. Every date on this page comes out of that rule rather than out of a list someone typed in, so nothing here can go stale when a year turns over. Where a date is set afresh each year instead, this catalogue leaves the event out rather than guess at it.
What day of the week is Patch Tuesday on?
