14 DAY TRIAL // While all eyes are on Windows 11 these days, some people are still running Windows 10, not necessarily because they want to but because they don’t have another option.
Windows 11 comes with updated system requirements, so some devices are left behind because they aren’t offered the upgrade to the new OS.
Microsoft will continue to support Windows 10 until October 2025, so new cumulative updates are released every month on Patch Tuesday.
Today, Microsoft shipped a new batch of cumulative updates, as follows:
- Windows 10 version 1507 — KB5009585 (OS Build 10240.19177)
- Windows 10 version 1607 — KB5009546 (OS Build 14393.4886)
- Windows 10 version 1703 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 1709 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 1803 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 1809 — KB5009557 (OS Build 17763.2452)
- Windows 10 version 1903 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 1909 — KB5009545 (OS Build 18363.2037)
- Windows 10 version 2004, 20H2 and 21H1 — KB5009543 (OS Builds 19042.1466, 19043.1466, and 19044.1466)
Needless to say, since they are all Patch Tuesday updates, they don’t come with major changes, as the focus is entirely on security improvements.
In the official changelog, Microsoft says these updates are supposed to resolve an issue hitting Active Directory as well as bugs in the Japanese IME.
“Addresses a known issue that affects Japanese Input Method Editors (IME). When you use a Japanese IME to enter text, the text might appear out of order or the text cursor might move unexpectedly in apps that use the multibyte character set (MBCS). This issue affects the Microsoft Japanese IME and third-party Japanese IMEs,” the company says.
There are no new known issues in these cumulative updates, and given it’s a Patch Tuesday rollout we’re talking about here, users are recommended to install the new updates as soon as possible.
