Big update rolls into view
Well that was fast. In this new era of Windows as a Service (WaaS), Microsoft has released its first cumulative update for Windows 10, which some are calling Service Release 1 (tongue in cheek, of course).
Microsoft lists the update as KB 3081424 and it's a big one. It replaces KB 3074683, which you likely already installed since updates are automatically applied to Windows 10 Home machines. Same goes with Windows 10 Pro, though Pro users can opt to put them off for eight months.
Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't provide a ton of details about the cumulative update, and instead tosses out a ho-hum description of what you're getting.
"This update includes improvements to enhance the functionality of Windows 10," Microsoft says. "Windows 10 updates are cumulative. Therefore, this package contains all previously-released fixes (see KB 3074683). If you have installed previous updates, only the new fixes that are contained in this package will be downloaded and installed to your computer."
That said, be aware that KB 3081424 checks in at around 325MB. You'll also be required to restart your PC to finish applying the bug fixes, so save your work.
Expect more of the same, at least initially. ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley heard from one of her contacts that Microsoft is planning to dole out more cumulative updates in the future, possibly every week for the first month of Windows 10 availability.
