Microsoft shipped its largest security update ever, patching 570 security holes in one afternoon, nearly triple last month’s record of around 210 fixes. The company used a scanning system running more than 100 AI agents across its software to find and prove real bugs, uncovering flaws that had existed for years. Two of the flaws were already being used by attackers, and three were zero-days; one allowed intruders to bypass BitLocker encryption. Microsoft executives had warned in July that updates would increase due to AI. Apple also pushed macOS Tahoe 26.6 on July 27 with about 155 security fixes for Macs, including a Gatekeeper bypass, and iOS 26.6 included almost 90 fixes the same day. Apple is on pace for a record year of patches in 2026. The article advises users to turn on automatic updates on both PCs and Macs and reboot.
