MS Patches delayed
- https://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=22066
Feb 14, 2017 - "Microsoft delayed the release of all bulletins* scheduled for today. Today was supposed to be the first month of Microsoft using its new update process, which meant that we would no longer see a bulletin summary, and patches would be released as monolithic updates vs. individually. It is possible that this change in process caused the delay… we do not know when Microsoft will release it's February patches. There is still the unpatched SMB 3 DoS vulnerability… hoped to be addressed in this round…"

Microsoft February Patch Tuesday Now Rolled into March Update
- https://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=22072
2017-02-16 - "Microsoft earlier today updated its blog post* about the "skipped" February patch Tuesday with a note that "We will deliver updates as part of the planned March Update Tuesday, March 14, 2017." March 14th is the March Patch Tuesday date, so February's updates will be combined with the March update. Probably overall the least disruptive solution at this point."

Thanks for the info. I am at the point that before I do a update I create a restore point first.
