Microsoft is rolling out a new cumulative update for Windows 10, as well as some security updates for issues involving Flash, Microsoft's Silverlight and more.

The cumulative update has the support label of KB3081436. So far, there's no word on what's new in this update, but it's likely that this release is to fix issues with signing into the Windows Store that have been reported by a number of Windows 10 users.

The updates also include patches to fix security holes found in Microsoft's Silverlight web media player and in Adobe's Flash player. There's also a new version of the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to download, along with new virus definitions for the free Windows Defender anti-virus program.

Presumably this update is for those whose PC's survived M$'s last cumulative reboot-forever update.

I used to think that the intention of Windows 10 was to replace the unpopular Windows 8. Looks more like a diabolically ingenious idea to make Windows 8 seem not so bad after all. :)

You know how Windows 10 has seen some people stuck in rebooting hell? Well, Microsoft have seemingly issued a fix.

Microsoft put out some patches under the umbrella of KB 3081436 update to fix the problem. They said initially: “This update includes improvements to enhance the functionality of Windows 10. Windows 10 updates are cumulative. Therefore, this package contains all previously released fixes. If you have installed previous updates, only the new fixes that are contained in this package will be downloaded and installed to your computer.”

You won’t have to do anything because this update applied itself automatically, like magic. That’s what Windows 10 does. So if you’ve been avoiding your PC thanks to this problem, switch it on and it should work just fine. If not, shout at Microsoft, not us.

Naturally, some Windows 10 users are still stuck in the loop of reboots.

What if that doesn’t work?

Don’t worry though! If it doesn’t work for you, Microsoft say that all you have to do, is open your Control Panel, click on ‘View installed updates’, and select ‘KB3081436′. Click uninstall in the toolbar and restart your computer, and you should be away.
