14 DAY TRIAL // It’s Patch Tuesday, so it’s time for Microsoft to ship a new round of updates for Windows 10, the operating system that the company will continue to support until 2025.
When Windows 11 was released and so many devices were left behind due to upgraded system requirements, Microsoft promised to ship updates for Windows 10 until October 2025. This should provide users with several more years of updates, with Microsoft, therefore, giving them enough time to upgrade to newer Windows.
The first Patch Tuesday update of the year brings new updates for Windows 10, and because the focus is on security improvements, users are recommended to install them as soon as possible.
The following updates are available for Windows 10 devices as part of the January 2023 Patch Tuesday cycle:
- Windows 10 version 1507 — KB5022297 (OS Build 10240.19685)
- Windows 10 version 1607 — KB5022289 (OS Build 14393.5648)
- Windows 10 version 1703 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 1709 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 1803 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 1809 — KB5022286 (OS Build 17763.3887)
- Windows 10 version 1903 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 1909 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 2004 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 20H2, 21H1, 21H2, and 22H2 — KB5022282 (OS Builds 19042.2486, 19044.2486, and 19045.2486)
The software giant doesn’t provide any information on what’s bundled with these updates, but the company says that the focus is on security fixes.
On the other hand, Microsoft acknowledged a bug, though it has been around for quite some time already.
“Devices with Windows installations created from custom offline media or custom ISO image might have Microsoft Edge Legacy removed by this update, but not automatically replaced by the new Microsoft Edge. This issue is only encountered when custom offline media or ISO images are created by slipstreaming this update into the image without having first installed the standalone servicing stack update (SSU) released March 29, 2021 or later,” Microsoft explains.
