Microsoft is warning users to update their Windows 10 operating system immediately to protect themselves from critical vulnerabilities.
According to the company, unprotected servers can spontaneously spread viruses and malware over the network, meaning without the user’s intention. Windows 10 devices having automatic update feature enabled are already secure, the company said.
The affected versions of Windows are Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, etc. However, systems running on Windows XP are not vulnerable. Full list of vulnerable versions is available below:

Windows 10 is the world’s most popular desktop operating system. Currently, it is being installed on approximately 800 million devices which means millions of devices are      at risk.
According to Director of Incident Response at Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) Simon Pope, there is no indication that third parties were aware of these vulnerabilities but “it is important that affected systems are patched as quickly as possible because of the elevated risks associated with wormable vulnerabilities like these,” said Simon.
The update package is available from the Microsoft website.
Furthermore, Windows 10 users should install reliable antivirus, scan your device regularly and also use trustworthy VPN to protect your online privacy.
