Microsoft released the long-awaited KB4505658 update for Windows 10 version 1809 on July 22, 2019. The update is the second cumulative update for the month following KB4507466 and KB4507465 for Windows 10 version 1803 and 1709 which were released on July 16, 2019 following the release of the security updates for July 2019 a week earlier.

The second cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1903, the current version of the Windows 10 operating system, is still missing.
