Microsoft is rolling out new cumulative updates to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, Creators Update, and the Anniversary Update today. As mentioned in our earlier coverage, we haven’t been receiving cumulative updates on Patch Tuesday since the Meltdown and Spectre bug vulnerabilities were first disclosed.
It isn’t clear why the Redmond tech giant continues to push updates out of the schedule it used to follow and when we will be back to the stable times when there was only one day fixed in a month to deal with new updates. But, until that happens, make sure to install these latest updates on your Windows 10 machines as they bring fixes to a number of bugs.
