Servicing Update Released•Windows 10 Updates Cumulative!• Miss a month? Just apply the next month’s update!
•WHY are Windows 10 Updates Cumulative?• Not a net new approach• “We believe the best Windows is continuously kept up-to-
date with new innovations and security updates and have adopted the cumulative update strategy because we believe it is the best way to deliver a predictable quality experience for customers. Targeting updates for more predictable, known build conditions means we will have a much more comprehensive test, which was not possible for the millions of permutations that were possible with the non-cumulative approach.”
