About this tag
The tag 'customer action' on WindowsForum.com is used in the context of Microsoft security updates and bulletins. It refers to whether a user needs to take any specific steps after an update is released, such as manually installing a patch or changing detection logic. In some cases, updates are reoffered only to affected customers, and those who have already installed the update or are running unaffected configurations do not need to take any action. The tag appears in discussions about the monthly security update release cadence and specific bulletins like MS11-018 for Internet Explorer, where customer action depends on the update's detection changes.
