Windows 10: Windows 10 August cumulative updates overview: What’s improved

Windows 10 is based on a servicing model known as “Windows as a Service”, (WAAS), which means the OS is updated once or twice a year with new features. In addition, Windows 10 also receives mandatory quality updates (popularly referred to as “cumulative updates”) on the second Tuesday of every month.

This month’s Patch Tuesday is now available with notable improvements, including fixes for the File Explorer and Storage Spaces.

As usual, every supported version of Windows is getting an update today with security and other fixes. For consumers, Microsoft is currently supporting Windows 10 version 1809, 1903, 1909, and 2004.
