About this tag
The tag 'agere modem removal' refers to Microsoft's decision to remove a legacy Agere Systems modem driver from the Windows in-box image during the October Patch Tuesday update. This action was taken instead of issuing a risky in-place patch for the driver, which had been part of Windows for years.

Administrators should be aware that systems relying on Agere modems may require manual driver installation after this update.
