Windows 10 users have been provided with way too many cumulative updates this month, as Microsoft has released a new batch, this time supposed to fix the previous pack that it published on March 15. But let’s take everything one a time.

Microsoft officially published this month’s Patch Tuesday cumulative updates for Windows 10 on March 9 when all OS versions received new improvements.

Hours after installing these updates, users started complaining of a problem breaking down their printers and causing BSODs on their devices. Microsoft too acknowledged the whole thing and promised fixes.

These highly anticipated fixes landed on March 15 in the form of new optional updates for all impacted Windows 10 devices.

“Microsoft identified an issue that affects Windows 10 devices which applied the March 2021 security update released March 9, 2021, and a resolution has been expedited. This known issue affects printing operations for devices using certain Type 3 printer drivers, which might receive an error with a blue screen when attempting to print. An out-of-band optional update is now available on the Microsoft Update Catalog and on Windows Update,” Microsoft said.

More updates

But as it turns out, even these updates caused some issues, in some cases leaving the BSODs unresolved. So on March 18, Microsoft shipped a new batch of cumulative updates supposed to resolve this problem once and for all.

The new updates that are available for download right now are the following:  

  • Windows 10, version 20H2 and Windows Server, version 20H2 (KB5001649)
  • Windows 10, version 2004 and Windows Server, version 2004 (KB5001649)
  • Windows 10, version 1909 and Windows Server, version 1909 (KB5001648)
  • Windows 10, version 1809 and Windows Server 2019 (KB5001638)
  • Windows 10, version 1803 (KB5001634)
  • Windows 10, version 1607 and Windows Server 2016 (KB5001633)
  • Windows 10, version 1507 (KB5001631)

Microsoft says more updates for the other affected Windows versions are already on their way.
