As we predicted last week, Windows 10 PC and tablet users who are not part of the Windows Insider program are now able to download the 10586.63 build of the OS via Windows Update.

The update has the KB3124263 demarcation. Microsoft has not yet published the KB pagefor this release.

The release is another cumulative update for Windows 10 PC users. It is not expected to include any new features, but it will have some minor improvements and bug fixes.

Windows Insiders are currently on build 11082, which was released on December 16 and is part of the forthcoming Redstone line. Those users will not see any update, but may have patches available too.

If Microsoft publishes a changelog or details, we will update this article when the information becomes available.

Any release notes? Or is it a game of "Easter Egg Hunt", like always.

Nope. No changelog yet (as of the date I posted this message right here). Check this last line in the OP:

Emphasis on "if".
Microsoft sometimes simply overlook some things (like entire CHANGELOGS), don't they?

They're probably hiding something. Must be more privacy grabbing features and a version number change.

Well, dang! Maybe they have listened to us, finally.

I saw that the page does indeed have details however it doesn't list the "improvements in the functionality", only security related fixes so I assumed it that is why it was mentioned to not have published the KB page. It was published but just doesn't seem finished... probably are hiding something. I almost regret installing it (manually - I defer updates).

 

[Soulbound]

Not every update has to be improvements on functionality. Security updates are all important. Plus does not break anything at least on my system. Only issue some people had was the original November patch, not the builds after

So far no problems on the update, but of course if Microsoft will revert some policy done on the patches mechanism and the users right to know all the information besides on visiting the page; that should satisfy it.
