14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft released Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB3081455 only a few hours ago, and in the official KB page that was published online shortly after that, the company finally provides a little bit more information about the included fixes.
As you’ve probably heard, the Windows community is really frustrated with Microsoft’s decision to provide change logs only for major updates, and Windows 10 cumulative updates come in most cases with very little details about the bugs they are supposed to fix or the performance improvements they include.
Windows 10 cumulative update KB3081455 is no exception, and despite the fact that it actually rolled out a KB page too (the company does that with every update, but the amount of information provided to users varies), Microsoft remains rather tight-lipped on the enhancements that it actually brings.
Here's the official description provided by Microsoft (emphasis is ours):
This update for Windows 10 includes functionality improvements and resolves the vulnerabilities in Windows that are described in the following Microsoft security bulletins:
No word on functionality improvements
As you can see, it’s pretty clear that this cumulative update is mostly supposed to bring security fixes, and the fact that it was released on Patch Tuesday says it all.
But what’s more interesting is that it also includes what Microsoft calls “functionality improvements,” but once again, the company doesn’t detail them at all.
And this makes it hard for Windows 10 users to tell what this update brings new to the table in terms of bug fixes and improvements, aside from the aforementioned vulnerability patches, so Microsoft should really rethink its strategy to address complains from users who want more information on what exactly they install.
