This is actually a generic note which I have seen many times, in recent KB articles. This was followed by a message which stated that the update also includes “non–security-related changes” for adding new features and improving the performance of the operating system. This includes the security vulnerability found in OpenType Fonts (fixed in KB3079904), Adobe Flash Player security holes in Internet Explorer (fixed in KB3074665), and an issue which allowed admin rights for custom scripts incorrectly executed by Windows Installer service (fixed in KB3074674).

Oddly enough, the article for KB3074679 reports about fixing three issues which have already been fixed recently. It was, as I suspected, yet another “Cumulative Security Update for Windows 10”. #WindowsInsiders Another update now available on Windows Update for Windows 10 PC build 10240.īut it appears that Microsoft had already updated the knowledge base with details about the update.

I almost didn’t notice the update had been downloaded automatically, and had it not been for the notification sound, I might have well missed it. This is the third update for the so-called “RTM” build.

Microsoft has announced the release of KB3074679 Windows Update, for Windows 10 Build 10240.
