(Video) [KB5000802] ONE Cumulative update for THREE WINDOWS 10 VERSIONS - March 2021 Patch Tuesday!
It's Patch Tuesday, and that means it's time for security updates! This week, Microsoft released updates for all supported Windows 10 versions, including the upcoming version 21H1 currently being tested by Windows Insiders in the Beta channel.
If you're running Windows 10 version 2004, 20H2 or 21H1, you'll get KB5000802, bringing the build number to 19041.867, 19042.867 or 19043.867, respectively.
So, if you download KB5000802 manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog, you'll be able to update all three Windows 10 versions using just one cumulative update: 2004, 20H2 and 21H1. You'll also get this update if you're a Windows Insider on the Beta or Release Preview channel.
These are the key changes Microsoft detailed, in addition to the removal of the legacy Microsoft Edge browser:
● We fixed an elevation of privilege security vulnerability documented in CVE-2021-1640 related to print jobs submitted to “FILE:” ports. After installing Windows updates from March 9, 2021 and later, print jobs that are in a pending state before restarting the print spooler service or restarting the OS will remain in an error state. Manually delete the affected print jobs and resubmit them to the print queue when the print spooler service is online.
● Security updates to the Windows Shell, Windows Fundamentals, Windows Management, Windows Apps, Windows User Account Control (UAC), Windows Virtualization, Windows Kernel, the Microsoft Graphics Component, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge Legacy, and Windows Media.
Remember, these are mandatory updates. That means that if you skip them now, these updates will be installed automatically at some point via Windows Update.
