Microsoft told us <\/span>three weeks ago<\/span><\/a> that Win10 Fall Creators Update, version 1709, was ready for enterprise deployment. Since then, we\u2019ve seen the early January patch yanked because it tanked AMD machines. Then, after the first patch was reinstated, we got two more cumulative updates. In the past three weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

I guess that\u2019s what Microsoft now means by \u201cCurrent Branch for Business\u201d and\/or \u201cSemi-Annual Channel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The latest salvo in the story arrived today with <\/span>KB 4058258<\/span><\/a>, which brings Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, version 1709, to build 16299.214. It\u2019s headed out the Windows Automatic Update chute right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with the 1709 cumulative update, we\u2019re getting another \u201c<\/span>WaaSMedic<\/span><\/a>\u201d Remediation Shell, <\/span>KB 4074608<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u2014 a Servicing Stack update released yesterday that, per <\/span>@abbodi86 on AskWoody<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Fixes and resets update-related parts to their \u201csupported\u201d configuration. It restores registry settings, services statuses, schedule tasks, it clears out disk space, and launches UpdateAssistant.exe if installed. Mainly it\u2019s meant to pave the way to receive the latest updates, whether quality updates, or feature update to latest Windows 10 version<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s an MSI package not a regular update, doesn\u2019t require a reboot. It has more than 12 releases so far. <\/span><\/p>\n

He <\/span>goes on to say<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Servicing Stack updates are bundled with cumulative updates in version 1709. You may notice that the 1709 SSU has a distinguished version (i.e. 16299.122.1.0), not the generic version like other updates before (i.e. 10.0.1.2). <\/span><\/p>\n

Servicing Stack updates won\u2019t be listed in Windows Update history, but you can find it in Installed Updates<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s this month\u2019s hall of patching shame:<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a newly updated KB article, <\/span>KB 4073757<\/span><\/a>, that covers many details with Windows, Meltdown and Spectre. It has lengthy lists of links to Security Advisories \u2014 Microsoft, Intel, AMD, Nvidia and more \u2014 guidance for all sorts of different kinds of hardware, a list of computer manufacturers \u2014 Acer, Dell, Epson, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, LG, NEC, Panasonic, Samsung, Toshiba and Vaio \u2014 with links to their advisories, and a promise of patches yet to come for \u00a0Server 2012 and Server 2008 SP2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Something to look forward to.<\/span><\/p>\n
