Windows 10: Windows 10 February 2022 updates issues and improvements

Windows 10 February 2022 cumulative update (not to be confused with major Windows 11 release coming this month) is now available for everyone. February 2022 Patch Tuesday update is about both security and non-security improvements, especially if you did not install the last few optional updates.

Windows 10 February 2022 update comes with fixes for 48 vulnerabilities in addition to 22 Microsoft Edge vulnerabilities. In terms of security, February 2022 Patch Tuesday is a pretty small release and it doesn’t contain security fixes classified as Critical.

As per the release notes, Microsoft has patched as many as 16 elevations of privilege vulnerabilities, 16 remote code execution vulnerabilities, information disclosure vulnerabilities, 5 Denial of Service vulnerabilities, and more. Of course, there are additionally fixes included for Microsoft Edge.

Microsoft also confirmed the Patch Tuesday update contains quality improvements to the servicing stack. This update would make improvements to the component that installs Windows Update. Servicing stack updates are necessary to ensure a robust and reliable servicing stack.

To install the February 2022 cumulative updates, follow these steps:

• Open Windows Update Settings.
• Click on “Windows Update” and check for updates.
• Click on “Restart now” when prompted.

Like previous monthly security updates, February 2022 Patch advances the build number of the operating system. Since this is a security update, the version number remains unchanged.

If you’re on November 2021 Update, you will get Build 19044.1526. Likewise, if you’re still using version 21H1, you’ll get Windows 10 Build 19043.1526. While the build revision number would be different, updates include the same set of bug fixes as all recent Windows 10 versions are based on version 2004.
