Versions 21H1, 20H2, and 2004 of Windows 10

Windows 10 v21H1 is the most recent major version of Windows 10, with the most experimental features.

Thankfully, most of the problems that were present when Windows 10 was originally released have been fixed, and current version of Windows 10 is much more reliable.

Name of the cumulative update

KB5006667

Fixes and improvements

• Fixes a problem that stops certain programs from opening or causing them to stop responding, such as Microsoft Office and Adobe Reader. This happens on devices with Microsoft Exploit Protection for Export Address Filtering enabled (EAF).

NOTE

Updates for Microsoft HoloLens (OS Build 19041.1168) published on October 12, 2021 are also included in this release. Microsoft will issue a direct upgrade to the Windows Update Client to enhance Windows Update dependability for Microsoft HoloLens that have not yet been updated to the latest OS Build.

Issues that have been identified

Version 2004 of Windows 10.

• This update may remove Microsoft Edge Legacy from devices with Windows installs generated from custom offline media or custom ISO image, but it will not immediately replace it with the new Microsoft Edge.
• When custom offline media or ISO images are produced by slipstreaming this upgrade into the image without first installing the standalone servicing stack update (SSU) issued March 29, 2021 or later, this problem occurs.

NOTE

Devices that get updates directly from Windows Update are unaffected. This covers Windows Update for Business-enabled devices. Any device that connects to Windows Update should automatically get the most recent versions of the SSU and cumulative update (LCU). 

To prevent this problem, make sure you slipstream the SSU from March 29, 2021 or later into the custom offline media or ISO image before the LCU.

You’ll need to extract the SSU from the combined SSU and LCU packages currently used for Windows 10, version 20H2 and Windows 10, version 2004 to do this. To extract the using SSU, follow the procedures below.

Version 1909 of Windows 10

Windows 10, version 1909, achieved end of service on May 11, 2021, for devices running the Home, Pro, Pro for Workstation, Nano Container, and Server SAC editions, according to the Redmond-based software giant.

Devices using this version of the OS will no longer get monthly security and quality upgrades, which provide protection against the most recent security threats.

So, if you still want to get security and quality updates, Microsoft advises that you upgrade to Windows 10 version 1803.
