This is reported by the US IT news site Betanews. We detailed the issues caused by Patchday in these two messages:

This can result in problems with Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Teams and VPNs. Microsoft describes the healing effects of the patches in this blog post.

If not, you don’t have to do anything. But if you have said problems, then you can use the one for your operating system
