How to find new 'Patch Tuesday' patches?

It looks like I made a huge mistake. Yesterday was 'Patch Tuesday' for
October, and instead of carefully looking at everything that would be
installed, I just opted for the express install. One reboot later, and now
my system is hanging randomly. So my best guess is that I need to back out
the patches (if possible), but I'm not even sure what the new patches were.
Anyone know a good way to find the list of latest patches for XP64?

Go to Windows Update, on the left side you can select installed updates and
see all the updates and the status of the installs.

Yoshihama:
If you are in a hurry you can also try system restore and leave your system
as it was previous to the Tuesday patches.

System Restore will not remove the program updates that are made as part of
the patches. That is why you are advised to uninstall any programs which
were installed after the selected restore point if it is not to be
reinstalled.

Good point, I had never taken detail that into account.

Oops, wrong order: "I had never taken that detail into account"

Carlos:
No need to apologize. Grammatically English is backwards compared
with most other languages, unfortunately American followed English in that
respect. Have a great day.

So much for those well-intentioned "experts" that advise small businesses
and individuals to enable "automatic" updates on all their software in order
to ensure that they are always up to date with the latest patches. Even
Symantec LiveUpdate has an option for "Express install" which I have
rejected. Please always select "custom install" and view the list of updates
before deciding to install anything, except maybe the "malicious software
detection" tool released monthly. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.

There have been an unusual number of updates that have caused problems the
last 4-5 months.
