TheMarch Patch Tuesday Updatesare finally here, andMicrosofthas prepared plenty of new securitypatchesand feature updates for users to try out. Cumulative updates are available for all versions ofWindows 10, and installing them is done in the same way as typical updates.
Third-party programs will no longer interfere with OS updates
One of the highlights of this round ofpatchesis a cumulative update released for Windows 10 v1909 and v1903 users calledKB4540673
As a general idea, KB4540673 contains security updates to Windows App Platform and Frameworks, Windows Media, Windows Silicon Platform, and more.
However, what makes this update stand out is a fix for an issue that many users have been complaining about.
More precisely, KB4540673 addresses an issue that prevents certain users from upgrading theOSbecause of corrupted third-party assemblies.
As you can imagine, having certain programs installed that had nothing to do withMicrosoftcould cause interferences with theOSupdate process. This included slow downloads, installations getting stuck halfway through,error messages, and more.
However, KB4540673 supposedly fixes all that, and now users can enjoy a smoother update experience.
Get KB4540673 as soon as possible
Those that run Windows 10 version 1909 and 1903 can get the latest Patch Tuesday updates via the typical methods you would get any other type of update.
This means using methods like theWindows Update Catalog, using the Windows ServerUpdate Services (WSUS), or using the built-in Windows Update feature.
Keep in mind that Patch Tuesday Updates are generallyvery important, as they usually contain major feature improvements and security patches.
