Windows 10: An Optional Update in 20H2 x64...

KB4598291

If one looks closely at this KB, relevance comes to mind. If there seems to be none to a User... might just pass. Reminder: It is optional.

Here are the highlights. Do they relate to you? They didn't in my case ergo, I will pass. "Don't fix what's not broken"

BUT, should any of it ring a bell with you, if might be something, actually, for you, by all means, of course, take it.



Highlights:

• 
  Updates an issue that causes a device to stop responding when you play a game in full-screen or tablet mode.
  
  
• 
  Updates an issue with using Ctrl+Caps Lock and Alt+Caps Lock to switch to Hiragana or Katakana mode respectively after upgrading to Windows 10, version 2004.
  
  
• 
  Updates an issue that prevents you from opening a document that is on the Windows desktop.
  
  
• 
  Updates an issue that creates duplicate cloud provider folders in the File Explorer navigation pane.
  
  
• 
  Updates an issue with some special key combinations used in DaYi, Yi, and Array IMEs that might cause an application to stop working.
  
  
• 
  Updates an issue that displays a blank lock screen after a device wakes up from Hibernate.
  
  
• 
  Corrects historical daylight savings time DST information for the Palestinian Authority.
  
  
• 
  Updates an issue that incorrectly deactivates some Windows 10 Education devices after upgrading to Windows 10, version 2004.
  
  
• 
  Updates an issue that might cause the Alt+Tab order to change unexpectedly and cause you to switch to the wrong window.
  
  
• 
  Updates an issue that fails to show Extract all on the shortcut menu when you right-click an online-only ZIP file.

Update 20h2

Hi Wicki,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 3 year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

20H2 should not be installed right-away on your device - MS said the rollout is only to a fraction of users and would be labeled as an optional update initially. Are you enrolled in WIP?

You may uninstall 20H2 using the steps below:

Update History is not showing v.20H2

Hi Dominic

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

This is normal behavior in Windows 10, typically when you install a Feature Update like 20h2, the update history is wiped, this is to prevent the user from trying to uninstall an update that was prior to the Feature Update, which would de-stabilize Windows
10, the list should start building again, when some updates are applied to version 20h2 . . .

 

windows updates 20H2

Hi team...my most recent version is windows 10 20H2 , despite that the office 2010 32 bit updates are failing with the error code 0x80070643....i checked several times and updated office 2019 on my PC.

unable to find a solution, and it seems that if eventually that will fail....ultimately operating system clean install option will be the last remaining option, which I do not want to do.....

kindly suggest what to do?
