Microsoft released cumulative updates for several supported versions of the company's Windows 10 operating system on June 18, 2019.

The two notable updates KB4501371 and KB4503288 are for Windows 10 version 1809 and 1803, two of the three supported "Home" versions of the Windows 10 operating system.

Microsoft did released updates for earlier versions of Windows 10 as well that are still supported in Enterprise and Education environments.

The two updates mentioned above are already available for administrators who run manual checks for updates and as direct downloads from the Microsoft Update Catalog website. Note that it may be necessary to install the Servicing Stack Update for the operating system first before installing these new updates. Consult the release notes linked below for details on the procedure.

Closing Words

I suggest you wait with the update installation unless you are impacted by one of the issues mentioned in the release notes or want to test the update quality. If you decide to install the updates make sure you make a backup before you do so.

The updates fix some long standing known issues but there are still some that have not been fixed yet. (via Born)

    Tried to install KB4503288. It wouldn’t complete and rolled back (ostensibly) the changes. Service Stack is current.

    Instead KB446293 was installed. I guess 17134.376 is our happy place.

    Whatever, it’s not like MS has given us expectations that computers should work.

    I have solved the weird problem to install this KBxxx371 with the next step:
    1. Win+R
    2. cmd /c ren %systemroot%\System32\Spupdsvc.exe Spupdsvc.old
    3. Enter
    4. Restart.
    This worked for me, installation was fine, no problem experienced yet.

    Unable to install KB…371, high CPU using, mostly all RAM used for near two hours, nothing worked fine. I stopped this update with power off button. Anyone else has had this issue? :(

    O.O I cannot believe, this is actually fixed! It has been a problem since Windows 10 came out. On LTSC 1809, taskbar no longer flickers on file move operations or move to recycle bin and empty recycle bin.

      KB4503294 has also been released for LTSB 1607 and Server 2016, and it also fixes this problem. The changelog states “Addresses a desktop and taskbar flickering issue on Windows Server 2019 Terminal Server that occurs when using User Profile Disks”, but I’m seeing this issue resolved as well as I’ve just tested it on a LTSB 1607 installation.
      Nice!
