I don’t get into Windows vulnerability issues much here. I find it boring reading, the severity of these issues is often overblown (like everything else), and I used to get paid to protect systems from this stuff. If you like to keep up with such things I recommend BleepingComputer.
Anyway, below are the latest vulnerabilities. The fixes involve you not being able to print (at least remotely), and deleting System Restore points and Shadow volumes and stopping the ability to create them.
