MS has released their latest group of patches. There are some major issues with the current patches that need to know before they are installed. Patch KB921883 can affect HTTPS traffic. it has been confirmed on several machines that this patch breaks HTTPS functions. You cannot sign in to Live.com, or access pages reliably that use certificates, (most will not work), secure communications programs fail. There is a second patch related to this one when un-installing, KB920214. Once both these are un-installed, the system will function fine. Test your patches, otherwise you will get burned.
