Andrew I see that the link has Windows XP, Vista, 8, Server 2003, 2008. Does this link refer to the recent Ransomeware?
If so, does this not affect Windows 7, 10 or Server 2012 and 2016?

Yes, it does refer to recent Ransomeware, Patches for other OS, were released in March 2017, if you've not PATCHED do it today!

XP and 2003 were not patched in March 2017, because they are end of life, but Microsoft have decided otherwise today!
It's an about turn on we will not support or create patches for older OS!

yes a MUST. Update the AV signature as well - most major AV and IPS signature are available to block this WCry and CVE exploit

OK, so does by installing that one patch is enough for closing this bug/exploits followed by the system restart ?

Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year for 2024, and Good Health to you and your families for a fantastic year at Experts Exchange
Many Thanks for all the VMware and Virtualization questions I've answered this year on Experts Exchange, and for making EE the Number 1 Original Tech Community Online. I've really enjoyed being there for you answering your questions, and completing so many articles and videos for you which can be found listed here, and it was fantastic to see EE return to it's roots - "About Bloody Time", and fab to be invited to Core Conference 2023, and meet with other fab Experts.
In what has become Andy's EE tradition, which is becoming more difficult with the demise of Microsoft Silverlight!
I've extracted all your "EE names" and input them into http://www.tagxedo.com/app.html - we've now developed Cloud based apps now to do this very quickly! (Tagxedo is old it still supports Silverlight!), I'm not sure we will be using Tagxedo next year, we are finding it difficult to find a Silverlight enabled PC today!
if you want to see a VMware video, let me know, and we will see what we can do.
So that just leaves me to say...
