What’s in Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB3081455

Microsoft rolled out a new KB page for this update

Microsoft released Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB3081455 only a few hours ago and in the official KB page that was published online a few hours later, the company finally provides a little bit more information about the included fixes.

As you probably heard, the Windows community is really frustrated with Microsoft’s decision to provide change logs only for major updates and Windows 10 cumulative updates come in most cases with very little details about the bugs they are supposed to fix or the performance improvements they include.

Windows 10 cumulative update KB3081455 is no exception and despite the fact that it actually rolled out a KB page too (the company does that with every update, but the amount of information provided to users varies), Microsoft remains rather tight-lipped on the improvements that it actually brings.

Here's the official description provided by Microsoft (emphasis is ours):

This update for Windows 10 includes functionality improvements and resolves the vulnerabilities in Windows that are described in the following Microsoft security bulletins:

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS15-094

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS15-095

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS15-097

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS15-098

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS15-101

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS15-102

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS15-105

No word on functionality improvements

As you can see, it’s pretty clear that this cumulative update is mostly supposed to bring security fixes and the fact that it was released on Patch Tuesday says it all.

But what’s more interesting is that it also includes what Microsoft calls “functionality improvements,” but once again, the company doesn’t detail them at all.

Which makes it hard for Windows 10 users to tell what this update brings new to the table in terms of bug fixes and improvements aside from the aforementioned vulnerability patches, so Microsoft should really rethink its strategy to address complains from users who want more information on what exactly they install.

Every browser has holes.

Yes but i thought it be better than IE but its not it had the exact same vulnerability. Edge is not a problem for me I uninstalled it and updates still installed fine without it . :lol:

I dont use IE ether there's no way to install my extra layer of secretly add-ons in these browsers .

LMAO , Egde already full of holes like IE is :lol: :tooth: :clap: :lmao:

yes, like in any browser, even maxthon.

Enjoy you're modern IE that maybe they didn't patch all the holes in like they do IE Because not widely used in business. As far as maxthon. it has a backdoor to china govt in it if you ever tested it with a ip sniffier and we know its not even as secure as IE is its based on old IE engine and dont be updated by Microsoft.

All the Edge vulnerabilities Microsoft disclosed this month were also found in Internet Explorer, which was covered by MS15-094, pointed out Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer for IT security firm Qualys.

"Someone could attack you, whether you have either Internet Explorer or Edge, using a specially crafted Web page," Kandek said.

The duplicates show the code overlap between Edge and IE, indicating that the engineering team developing Edge used at least part of the code base for IE, Kandek said.

It also shows how difficult it is to write software that is error-free and immune to attackers, he said.

Because Windows 10 hasn't been widely installed in the enterprise yet, reviewing the Edge bulletin may not be the top priority on administrators' to-do lists.

:P :lol:
