Microsoft released patches Tuesday for more than 100 security vulnerabilities[1], in software including Windows 10, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Office, as part of its monthly Patch Tuesday security update. The flaws included five zero-day vulnerabilities, one of which was exploited in the wild, according to a blog post[2] from security firm Kaspersky.

The latter is known as an escalation-of-privilege exploit, which is likely used with other browser flaws to gain system privileges to access someone's files, the Kaspersky post said. 

In Microsoft's March update[3], it released 89 software security fixes. 

The April security update should arrive on your Windows device automatically. You can also manually check for updates by going to Start  > Settings  > Update & Security  > Windows Update, and then selecting Check for updates.
