The Microsoft April 2023 security updates have been released and consist of 97 new CVEs plus 3 Microsoft Edge releases included in the documentation.  Of these CVEs, 7 are rated critical and 90 are rated important in severity.  At the time of release, one is listed as being under active attack.

See the very long list of KBs at the bottom of the page at April 2023 Security Updates - Release Notes - Security Update Guide - Microsoft for information regarding known issues with the security updates as well as the CVEs with FAQs, Mitigations and/or Workarounds.

Reminder: There are no more optional, non-security preview releases for the supported editions of Windows 10, version 20H2 and Windows 10, version 21H2. Only cumulative monthly security updates (known as the "B" or Update Tuesday release) will continue for these versions. Windows 10, version 22H2 will continue to receive security and optional releases.
