14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just released new cumulative updates for select versions of Windows 10, including the April 2018 Update (version 1803) and the Fall Creators Update (version 1709).
There is no new cumulative update for Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809), Windows 10 version 1511, and Windows 10 build 10240 (original version).
What’s important to know is that these new cumulative updates do not include any security fixes, but only performance improvements and general refinements for the operating system. Cumulative updates with security patches are typically published on Patch Tuesday, which takes place the second Tuesday of each month.
In March, Patch Tuesday updates were rolled out on March 12, and all versions of Windows 10 received new cumulative updates.
To download the new updates you can head over to Windows Update on Windows 10 or manually get the packages from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
Everything working smoothly so far
The new updates are the following:
Windows 10 April 2018 Update (version 1803) – KB4489894 Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709) – KB4489890 Windows 10 Creators Update (version 1703) – KB4489888 Windows 10 Anniversary Update (version 1607) – KB4489889
Each update comes with long changelogs and several known issues, and I recommend you to check out the official KB article linked above before installation. There’s no rush to install the update if you’re afraid of failed installs or other bugs, as this new release doesn’t bring any urgent security fixes.
At the time of writing this article, however, we’re not aware of any such issues or failed installs, and everything seems to be working correctly for the majority of users. The updates also installed correctly on our devices here at Softpedia.
As we do every time, we’ll keep an eye on reports for potential issues with these cumulative updates and report back should there be anything that you need to know in this regard.
