On Thursday, Microsoft acknowledged that the rush for patches had caused some problems.
"The increase in server activity did cause some performance slow downs yesterday," said a Microsoft spokesperson. "Microsoft has put into place additional resources and increased capacity to ensure that the increase in volume will not affect customer experience on Windows Update."
