14 DAY TRIAL // February 14 brought us a new batch of cumulative updates aimed at Windows 10 devices, and needless to say, given they go live on Patch Tuesday, their main focus is to resolve security bugs in the operating system.
With more Windows 10 versions approaching the end of support, it’s now more important than ever to update to a newer release, especially because new critical vulnerabilities are discovered in the operating system.
This month, for instance, Microsoft discovered no more, no less than three security flaws already being exploited in the wild, and this makes installing patches something that needs to be prioritized on all devices.
The following updates are now live on Windows 10 devices:
- Windows 10 version 1507 — KB5022858 (OS Build 10240.19747)
- Windows 10 version 1607 — KB5022838 (OS Build 14393.5717)
- Windows 10 version 1703 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 1709 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 1803 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 1809 — KB5022840 (OS Build 17763.4010)
- Windows 10 version 1903 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 1909 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 2004 — EOS
- Windows 10 version 20H2, 21H1, 21H2, and 22H2 — KB5022834 (OS Builds 19042.2604, 19044.2604, and 19045.2604)
Microsoft isn’t providing too many details on what’s included in these updates, but in addition to the said security patches, these releases also come with a fix for a bug breaking down audio on some IoT devices. Of course, there’s a chance that more bug fixes are included, but this time users will have to figure them out on their own after the installation of the new updates.
As far as the known issues are concerned, there are no new bugs in this month’s rollout, so Windows 10 updates only come with the previous glitch that causes the legacy version of Microsoft Edge to not be correctly replaced by the Chromium-based version.
