Microsoft has released a new non-security update for Windows supposed to correct errors encountered after launching Windows Update.

According to a report by ZDNet, the patch is being delivered in the form of a tool called System Update Readiness Tool on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 RT, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista, while on Windows 8.1, Windows8, Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 it’s called Deployment Image Servicing and Management.

The following errors are said to be fixed by the new patch: 0x80070002, 0x8007000D, 0x800F081F, 0x80073712, 0x800736CC, 0x800705B9, 0x80070246, 0x8007370D, 0x8007370B, 0x8007370A, 0x80070057, 0x800B0100, 0x80092003, 0x800B0101, 0x8007371B, 0x80070490.

At this point, the patch is only available if you manually download it, but the company might start shipping it to users automatically using Windows Update and thus fix all operating systems without user input.
