Windows 10: Windows 10 KB5007253 (21H2, 21H1) released with these fixes

KB5007253 is now rolling out to PCs running Windows 10 version 21H2, 21H1, 20H2, and 2004. Like previous optional cumulative updates, this patch is rolling out via Windows Update. Additionally, Microsoft has also posted direct download links for Windows 10 KB5007253 offline installers on its Update Catalog.

Windows 10 KB5007253 is part of the November 2021 cumulative update and it is also the first patch for version 21H2 (November 2021 Update) which was recently released in the production channel. Of course, Build 19044.1382 or Build 19043.1382 is offered as an optional release.

KB5007253 will bump the build revision number for all supported Windows 10. If you’ve already updated to version 21H2 “November 2021 Update”, you’ll be getting Windows 10 Build 19044.1382. On the other hand, if you’re on May 2021 Update, Microsoft will offer 19043.1382. Likewise, version 20H2 is getting Build 19043.1382.

Remember that the build revision number is the only difference between these Windows 10 versions. That’s because Windows 10 21H2, 21H1, and version 20H2 are based on the Vibranium release, which is the codebase of Windows 10 May 2020 Update (aka version 2004).

November 2021 optional update includes various bug fixes and improvements for Windows 10 version 2004 and later. For example, Microsoft fixed an issue that causes unexpected rendering issues when loading some variable fonts.

Another Windows 10 bug where letters or characters appear at the wrong angle has been fixed. Fortunately, this glitch only affected certain Asian languages, such as Japanese and Chinese. Microsoft has also fixed issues where Microsoft Excel crashes on certain devices when you export to PDF.

On your devices, when you check for updates today, the following patch will appear on your screen:
