To anyone misreading this, these exploits were patched yesterday and thus were included as the final patch for Windows 10 before the extended security updates requirements kick in.
Known exploits are always reported to the company first to give them time to patch it before releasing info on the exploits.
All Windows 10 users will continue to have access to the patches in this final freely available patch Tuesday for Windows 10. They just can't get new updates without joining the ESU program.
I hate Microsoft too and only use Linux, but let's stop the circlejerk of false claims here please and thank you.
Zero-day means the company had 0 days to fix it before the exploits were made public. Maybe the headline is wrong?
Perhaps, either that or they made a very quick fix making updates to address them the day before this patch release.
