KB4549951 improves security in Microsoft Office products

Microsoft just released the April Patch Tuesday updates and it seems that, in the light of the new developments, they decided to prioritize their efforts on security updates.

The company added that starting next month, they will pause all optional non-security releases for all the supported versions of Windows client and server products (Windows 10, version 1909 down to Windows Server 2008 SP2).

Therefore, the new update is dedicated exclusively to security. Precisely, the new KB4549951 patch is improving security in all Microsoft Office products. Additionally, it will improve security when Windows performs basic operations.

Microsoft also mentions that KB4549951 contains an update for storing and managing files. We have to mention that these updates are available to 1903 and 1906 versions of Windows 10.
