Get Ready: New Windows 10 Cumulative Updates to Launch This Week

It’s time for our typical pre-Patch Tuesday notification aimed at Windows 10 users: new cumulative updates will be released tomorrow for all versions of the operating systems, and IT pros should prepare computers in their environments for deployment.

Tomorrow’s cumulative updates are twice more important than any other update, mainly because they will include security fixes addressing vulnerabilities in Windows and the pre-installed apps.

Installing the most recent cumulative update brings a computer fully up-to-date, so if you do install tomorrow’s release, this means your system will include all the patches released by Microsoft for the Windows 10 version you are running.

As with all the other cumulative updates, there are concerns that Microsoft could ship botched patches causing problems on users’ computers, but the truth is that the number of issues experienced after installing cumulative updates has dropped substantially after the release of the Creators Update in April.
Nearly flawless install experience
The majority of bugs that users were hitting when installing cumulative updates before the Creators Update launched generated failed installs, with a substantial number of users complaining that the whole process got interrupted before completion, pushing their systems in an infinite loop, with the update being re-offered when logging back in to the desktop.

Fortunately, the experience has been greatly revised and the only thing that’s still being reported when installing cumulative updates is a long time needed to complete the process.

We’ll post all the details about tomorrow’s cumulative updates tomorrow when all of them go live, but keep in mind that these patches require a system reboot and everyone is recommended to install them as soon as possible, given they address vulnerabilities in Microsoft’s products.

This means work needs to be saved on Windows 10 systems before starting the install, though manual download links for all patches will also be provided.
