What’s New in Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB5003637

https://news.softpedia.com/news/what...7-533154.shtml

Microsoft has shipped new Windows 10 cumulative updates for all versions still getting support, and just as expected, the most recent stable builds are getting their own improvements.

Windows 10 version 2004, 20H2, and 21H1 are being provided with the same cumulative update because they share the codebase, so the refinements and bug fixes available this month are available via KB5003637 on all three versions.

As for what’s new in Windows 10 cumulative update KB5003637, you should keep in mind this is a Patch Tuesday release, so it includes mostly security fixes supposed to resolve vulnerabilities found in the operating system and the pre-loaded components.

According to the official changelog, this update improves security when Windows performs basic operations, when verifying usernames and passwords and when using input devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or a pen. Microsoft says it also includes updates for storing and managing files.

There are no new bugs in these updates, as all known issues have been inherited from the previous releases.

The update is available via Windows Update for devices configured to receive updates automatically.
Installed and updated on 1 PC - 5 minutes.

Windows 10’s News and Interests feature has been enabled but can be easily customized and turned off or even disabled.

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but why don't Microsoft write the code for Windows 10 and then encrypt it so it can't be hacked?

After all we do have military grade encryption.

Mine took about fifteen minutes including download and install (did a disk-image first just in case). No problems as yet, and I too turned off the news/weather feature on the task bar.

I turned that off as well but thought I'd turn it on again today to at least not dismiss without even a try. I'll most likely turn it off again but it is handy in as much as it does save me the trouble of looking out of the window.

If fairness, it's just a way of giving some shortcuts to various web pages and News items. I expect some people will keep it turned on.
