1. What is an operating system patch? (Minimum word count: 60)
An operating system patch is a file of programming code that is inserted into an existing executable program to fix a known problem, or bug. Patches are designed to provide an immediate solution to a particular programming problem and can often be downloaded from the Web site of the software vender. However, patches are intended to be only temporary solutions
