Microsoft Releases KB4020001 and KB4020002 for Windows 10 Creators Update

[CrAKeN]

 

These updates are specifically aimed at systems running the Creators Update

 

Microsoft has just published two new updates for Windows 10 Creators Update, both of them listed as compatibility updates for upgrading to the latest version of the operating system.

 

KB4020001 and KB4020002 are both available on Microsoft's Update Catalog site, but they are very likely to be released via Windows Update too, probably as part of the next Patch Tuesday cycle on May 9.

 

KB4020001 is described as "Compatibility update for upgrading to and recovering Windows 10 Version 1703" and is dated April 25, while KB4020002, which has the same date, is called a "Compatibility update for upgrading to Windows 10 Version 1703."

 

What’s important to note is that these are not cumulative updates for Windows 10 Creators Update, but only regular patches that are supposed to improve certain components of the operating system, and since they aren’t yet offered via Windows Update, Microsoft wants to give systems admins the option of trying them out before the Windows Update release.

 

New cumulative updates every month

On the other hand, it’s also worth knowing that these updates only install on Windows 10 Creators Update, despite the fact that the description of KB4020002 explains it’s a patch for “upgrading to Windows 10 Creators Update.”

 

The next Patch Tuesday cycle takes place on May 9, and Microsoft is expected to deliver these updates via Windows Update at that point as well. Additionally, the company is likely to include new cumulative updates too, but the focus in this case would be on security fixes and other OS improvements.

 

Microsoft recently announced that Windows 10 Creators Update would get more cumulative updates every month in addition to the Patch Tuesday release. The secondary cumulative updates will include non-security fixes, Microsoft says, and they’re not mandatory, as all the improvements they bring will be included in the next Patch Tuesday rollout anyway.

That's  because  that update KB4020002 is  for  upgrading too Windows 10 Version 1703. and you're already on it and don't need it

KB4020001  is for upgrading and recovering  Windows 10 Version 1703 so it will install.

I don't never install cab updates , unless  its right before updates get turned  on a final build. Once they turn updates on  any updates you need will be posted  on AU or in a cumulative update installer  were you don't need CMD or Powershell  If it's not on auto updates it's just a hotfix  and may  not be tested good. Ive not installed Hotfixes since before Windows 7 sp1 came out  Only i do pushed out on windows updates patches..

These both are designed for online updates, or repair installs ... the message saying do you want to check for updates before upgrading to win10.. you answer yes it checks to see if you need one of these..  That first one is like for when some people need a driver for their oddball network adapter, but most wont need that installed and it will produce an error in event logs forever if installed & you have no need for it.
