Microsoft's First Cumulative Update for Windows 10 is Here

[JoostinOnline]

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.

For a list of updates included, see here. As the article points out, this probably won't have any effect for most people, because it's just a bunch of updates they've already released. It didn't fix my audio woes.

after this update i got a "critical error" "cortana and start menu doesn't start" which apparently is a bug present on the preview build...
but it's weird randomly and suddenly it appeared after the update...
also, i wait for a time microsoft explains what exactly a update does..

It really doesn't do anything. It's just installing any past updates you may have missed. It's similar to the service packs.

i had the exact same problem mate, i fixed it by pressing the windows key and r then type msconfig w/admin privileges and check the normal startup and hit apply and it will as you to if you want to restart just say yes and things should work again.

So I saw the windows 10 update icon om my windows 7 machine and it wants me to update. I was wondering is it required to use a microsoft account to log into windows 10? If it is then does microsoft allow you to log into the same account on 2 or more computers? Sometimes I have 2 computers on at the same time.,

on windows 10 you dont need a microsoft account to use it but you do one to use the app store mate and im 99% sure you can use the same account on different machines

You can use the same account. When you set it up it will ask you if you want to sync the computer themes (wallpaper, screensaver, color scheme, etc) or make it completely individual.
