As part of its regular Patch Tuesday cycle, Microsoft has given a heads-up to its Unified and Premier Support customers about the upcoming wave of security updates scheduled for release on June 10, 2025 (Pacific Time). This early notice is meant to help IT teams and system administrators plan ahead and ensure smooth patch deployment across environments.
