The new patches are now being shipped via Windows Update

Microsoft has just rolled out three new patches for Windows 10, but according to information on the official KB pages, they are only aimed at build 10240, which is the RTM version of the operating system that came out on July 29.

KB3081448, KB3081449, and KB3081452 are the three updates that Microsoft released to Windows 10 PCs this morning, and just like the previous patches, they come with very vague change logs to let you know what they actually bring new to the table.

That's actually one of the biggest problems with all these updates, as users are asking for more information on what they install, which is critically important, especially for system administrators who might not want to deploy certain patches.

Update information

For instance, the only information we get from Microsoft for KB3081448 is that it includes improvements to enhance the functionality of the operating system, while in KB3081449's case, the company actually says a little bit more.

“This update improves the Windows 10 out-of-box experience (OOBE). This update applies only to the Windows 10 OOBE process and will be available only at the time that OOBE updates are installed. Important If you install a language pack after you install this update, you must reinstall this update. Therefore, we recommend that you install any language packs that you need before you install this update.”

The third update is supposed to “ease the upgrade experience to Windows 10.” And that's it.

According to Microsoft, change logs will only be provided for updates that bring major changes to Windows 10, so detailing all these cumulative updates makes no sense. For the company, that is, because users really want as much information as possible to be aware of the changes and tweaks these include.

In the meantime, you are highly recommended to install all available updates because, in addition to changes under the hood, they most likely fix a number of bugs too.
