14 DAY TRIAL // The Windows as a Service approach that Microsoft embraced for Windows 10 is going smoothly these days, so it shouldn't be a surprise that the company has just rolled out another cumulative update for its latest OS.
KB3118754 is now available for download for those running Windows 10 Threshold 2, so fire up Windows Update and look for this particular release as soon as possible.
The obvious question that comes to everyone's mind when hearing that a new update is available for Windows 10 is “so, what's new?” but as usual, there's still no answer to this.
Microsoft releases Windows updates much faster than before, which is indeed a really good thing, given the fact that some bugs need to be fixed as soon as possible, but the company no longer provides change logs for them.
In other words, we have the patches, but we don't know what they bring new.
Bug fixes and performance improvements
And yet, judging from the file list, KB3118754 is very likely to include the always-promised bug fixes and performance improvements to the operating system itself, but also to some included apps. As a result, some of the bugs that were found in Microsoft Edge should no longer be there after installing the patch.
In case you're wondering how come Microsoft no longer provides us with release notes for these updates, it's because the company only wants to do so for more important patches, so unless there's something really worth mentioning in an update, we get absolutely no information.
This does make sense at some level, but users have been asking for update details for months, so if the company is indeed listening to the community (as it claims), then expect a change to take place very soon. Enterprise customers should start getting release notes this year, but a decision in the case of consumers is yet to be made.
