Using WinUpdatesList

The main window of WinUpdatesList contains 2 panes: The upper pane displays the list of all updates installed on your computer. When you select an hotfix in the upper pane, the lower pane display the list of files installed with the selected hotfix.
If you want to get more information about a specific update, select the desired item in the upper pane, and then from the File menu (or from the popup menu) choose ‘Open Web Link’. This option opens your browser with a Web page in Microsoft site that provides information about the selected Windows update.

Notice: Some operations, like saving to file or copying to the clipboard, are performed on the pane that currently has the focus. For example: If you press Ctrl+C while the lower pane is focused, the selected files list will be copied to the clipboard. If the upper pane has the focus, the selected updates in the upper pane will be copied.

Connecting to another operating system (Windows 2000/XP only)

The second parameter specifies the Windows folder of the operating system.
Be aware that when you use this option, WinUpdatesList loads the Registry of the other operating system as a new hive under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and than unloads it after you exit from WinUpdatesList.

Пакеты обновления и Центр обновления

Получение последнего обновления Windows 10

Windows 10 автоматически загружает и устанавливает обновления, чтобы обеспечить безопасность вашего устройства и доступ к актуальным возможностям. Это означает, что вы получаете последние исправления и обновления системы безопасности, а это обеспечивает безопасность вашего устройства и помогает ему работать эффективно.

Несмотря на то что обновления загружаются и устанавливаются автоматически, они могут быть доступны не на всех устройствах одновременно; мы следим за тем, чтобы обновления были готовы и совместимы.

Чтобы проверить наличие обновлений вручную, нажмите кнопку Пуск , а затем выберите Параметры > обновить & безопасность > центра обновления Windows >и выберите пункт проверить наличие обновлений.

Пакет обновления (SP) для Windows часто включает ранее выпущенные обновления и помогает повысить надежность Windows. Пакеты обновления могут содержать улучшения для компонентов безопасности и производительности, а также предоставлять поддержку для новых типов оборудования. Установите последнюю версию пакета, чтобы Windows оставалась в актуальном состоянии. Установка пакетов обновления занимает приблизительно 30 минут. Во время установки потребуется перезагрузить компьютер.

Рекомендуемый (и самый простой) способ получать обновления — включить Центр обновления Windows для Windows 8.1. После этого Windows будет уведомлять, когда обновления будут готовы к установке.

Windows 10 update history

Windows 10, version 2004 and Windows Server, version 2004

Updates for Windows 10, version 2004 and Windows Server, version 2004

Windows 10 is a service, which means it gets better through periodic software updates.

The great news is you usually don’t have to do anything! If you have enabled automatic updates, new updates will automatically download and install whenever they’re available, so you don’t have to think about it.

On the left side of this page, you’ll find a list of all the updates released for this version of Windows. You can also find more information about releases and any known issues. Installing the most recent update ensures that you also get any previous updates you might have missed, including any important security fixes.

For more information about the update and how to get it, see:

Current status of Windows 10, version 2004 and Windows Server, version 2004

For the most up-to-date information about Known Issues for Windows and Windows Server, please go to the Windows release health dashboard.

Known issues

Certain Japanese half-width Katakana and full-width Katakana characters that have a consonant mark aren’t interpreted as the same character. When you use the CompareStringEx() function with the NORM_IGNOREWIDTH flag to compare them, these characters are evaluated as different because of an issue in the sorting rule . This issue affects all the updates starting on June 9, 2020 for Windows 10, version 2004.

Open the Command Prompt window ( cmd.exe) with elevated privileges.

Run “reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Sorting\Versions /ve /d 0006020F /f”

Restart the computer or processes to see the full effect.

Important If you have not installed KB4586853or later on the computer, setting an invalid value in this registry might prevent the computer from starting up.

This workaround reverts the National Language Support (NLS) sorting rule to version 6.2, which is used in Windows 10, version 1909 and earlier. When sharing data between systems, consider applying the workaround consistently. If you use this workaround, conduct sufficient testing and evaluations to mitigate problems caused by different sorting rule versions on multiple systems.

If you re-enable RemoteFX vGPU, a message similar to the following will appear:

“The virtual machine cannot be started because all the RemoteFX-capable GPUs are disabled in Hyper-V Manager.”

“The virtual machine cannot be started because the server has insufficient GPU resources.”

What’s new for Windows 10, version 1909 and Windows 10, version 1903 release notes

Windows 10, versions 1903 and 1909 share a common core operating system and an identical set of system files. As a result, the new features in Windows 10, version 1909 were included in the recent monthly quality update for Windows 10, version 1903 (released October 8, 2019), but are currently in a dormant state. These new features will remain dormant until they are turned on using an enablement package, which is a small, quick-to-install “master switch” that simply activates the Windows 10, version 1909 features.

To reflect this change, the release notes for Windows 10, version 1903 and Windows 10, version 1909 will share an update history page. Each release page will contain a list of addressed issues for both 1903 and 1909 versions. Note that the 1909 version will always contain the fixes for 1903; however, 1903 will not contain the fixes for 1909. This page will provide you with the build numbers for both 1909 and 1903 versions so that it will be easier for support to assist you if you encounter issues.

For more details about the enablement package and how to get the feature update, see the Windows 10, version 1909 delivery options blog.

End of servicing

IMPORTANT Windows 10, version 1903 will reach end of servicing on December 8, 2020. To continue receiving security and quality updates, Microsoft recommends that you update to the latest version of Windows 10. If you want to update to Windows 10, version 1909, you must use the Enablement Package KB4517245(EKB). Using the EKB makes updating faster and easier and requires a single restart. For more information, see Windows 10, version 1909 delivery options.
