— Gabriel Aul (@GabeAul) July 24, 2015 Since releasing the so called “RTM build” Microsoft has followed that up with three additional updates for the OS. These updates include a security update, and emergency patch that affected all versions of Windows, and another update three days ago. This latest updates include (KB3074679) which is the main one being reported, and I also received (KB3074686) which is a cumulative security update, and contains “non–security-related changes to enhance the functionality of Windows 10”. There won’t be anything flashy with this update, but your graphics drivers and overall experience should work better, and you’ll have improved security under the hood.
