(Video) Windows 10 version 21H1 - March 2021 Patch Tuesday!
It's Patch Tuesday, and that means it's time for security updates! Pretty much every supported Microsoft product is getting an update this week, and that includes most versions of Windows 10.
You'll also get this update if you're a Windows Insider on the Beta or Release Preview channel. So, if you're already testing the 21H1 in the Beta channel, you'll get KB5000802, bringing the build number to 19043.867.
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.
