About this tag
The advance notification tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's Advance Notification Service (ANS), a monthly communication that provides early notice of upcoming security updates for Microsoft products. Historically, ANS was part of the Update Tuesday process, offering details about the number and severity of security bulletins scheduled for release. Discussions include the evolution of the service, such as the introduction of tailored bulletin reports and changes to the Exploitability Index. Threads from 2013 to 2015 highlight specific monthly notifications for bulletins affecting Windows, Internet Explorer, Office, and Exchange, with ratings of Critical or Important. The tag is relevant for IT professionals and system administrators who rely on advance notice to plan patch deployments.
