Better late than never, I guess. Microsoft released the usual second batch of updates that it releases each month for Windows 10 version 1607, 1703, 1709 and Windows 10 version 1803. The patch for Windows 10 version 1809 is late, as usual, and monthly previews for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows 8.1 are available as well.

Woody Leonhard spotted the updates first, and he called them lame as they include a truckload of Japanese Era fixes and just some other changes.

The updates are available on Windows Update already. I recommend you wait with the installation unless you are affected by one of the issues that they resolve. In any case, make sure you back up the system and all important data properly before you start the update process.

    Just did a clean installation of Win 10 1903 and I could believe how marvelous the new UI is.

    Fell in hard. Won’t ever go to previous versions, no matter bug or not. Clean and white as Φυκ.

    Better late than never, Martin? That’s assuming that the cure is better than the disease. Only time will tell. Time heals all wounds, after-all…unless you have leprosy which it would appear Windows 10 does.
