Microsoft wants IT admins to deploy Windows security updates within three days, and it's because of AI.
Microsoft found that AI is helping attackers find and exploit vulnerabilities much faster than before.
The company now recommends quality update deferrals of less than three days, deadlines of zero or one day, and a grace period of no more than two days.
Microsoft says delaying Patch Tuesday updates by weeks gives attackers too much time.
To help organizations patch faster, Microsoft recommends using Windows Autopatch, Hotpatch (now enabled by default), Microsoft Intune, and Conditional Access. It also introduced a new Windows Autopatch report that shows which devices are missing security updates.
