Microsoft released new Windows updates this week. Looking at the list of updates this month there is an important Windows RDP service security vulnerability announced. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause the RDP service on the target VPS to stop responding. There are also other important security updates and all should be done at the next earliest convenience.
We advise using the pre-installed Chrome browser (which auto updates) and minimizing your web browsing from your VPS for added security.

You can update your VPS by going to “Control Panel > Windows Update”. We recommend updating over weekends only and rebooting after.
The SANS Internet Storm Center (ISC) has the best quick overview of the updates each month. https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Microsoft+April+2018+Patch+Tuesday/23539/
