KB3081455 is now shipped to Windows 10 computers

Sep 8, 2015 18:22 GMT  ·  By

Microsoft has just released a new cumulative update for Windows 10, but once again, there is no change log offered with this patch.

In other words, it’s pretty impossible for now to tell exactly what is new in KB3081455, so we might have to wait a little bit longer until more users install it and search for changes.

Right now, there’s not even a KB page, but this should be up sometime in the next few hours. And yet, do not expect too many details, aside from the usual “this update brings improvements to Windows 10” statement.

Since it’s a cumulative update, it includes all the previously released patches, so if you install this one, there’s no need to install its predecessors. This is actually a good thing, given the fact that many users encountered errors when trying to install the first Windows 10 cumulative updates, but we’re still waiting to see if anyone gets an error when deploying this new one.

Why aren’t there any change logs?

Cumulative updates are quite important for Windows 10 users, but surprisingly, Microsoft has decided to release them without any change logs, which makes it very hard to tell what is new in every new patch.

Microsoft’s reason makes sense for some, but it definitely causes more frustration among Windows 10 users. The company says that release notes are only provided for major updates, so unless there’s something really important in a Windows 10 update, no change log is offered.

This basically means that most Windows 10 updates that Microsoft has released so far have been minor because the company has rarely provided change logs. In the future, Redmond could change this strategy, but only for enterprise users, company executives suggested.

Given the feedback coming from the Windows 10 community, the company could reverse this decision for consumers too, but only time will tell if Microsoft is indeed willing to listen to the voice of its users this time.
