Microsoft Releases Windows 10 Cumulative Updates KB4509479, KB4509478, KB4509477 

 

Microsoft has just released a new batch of cumulative updates for all Windows 10 versions except for the May 2019 Update (also referred to as version 1903).

Since they don’t land on a Patch Tuesday, there are no security improvements in these updates, and the focus is entirely on fixing bugs and refining the performance of Windows 10.

All updates, however, come with a single change mentioned in the release notes, albeit more undisclosed improvements could also be introduced. According to the software giant, the June 26 cumulative updates resolves an issue breaking down the Event Viewer. This is a bug that was introduced by the previous batch of cumulative updates for Windows 10.

“Addresses an issue that may prevent devices from connecting to some Storage Area Network (SAN) devices using Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) after installing KB4499147. You may also receive an error in the System log section of Event Viewer with Event ID 43 from iScsiPrt and a description of “Target failed to respond in time for a login request.”Cumulative updates and OS build numbersThe cumulative updates that are included in this new batch are the following:
 

Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809): KB4509479 (OS Build 17763.593)

Windows 10 April 2018 Update (version 1803): KB4509478 (OS Build 17134.860)

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709): KB4509477 (OS Build 16299.1239)

Windows 10 Creators Update (version 1703): KB4509476 (OS Build 15063.1898)

Keep in mind that Windows 10 Creators Update and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update no longer receive cumulative updates on Home and Pro SKUs, so devices must be in the LTSC or run Education or Enterprise versions to be offered the updates on Windows Update.

There are no reports of failed installs at the time of writing this article, and Microsoft says there are no new known issues, others than the ones that have already been acknowledged in the previous cumulative updates.

What’s New in Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB4509479 

 

The latest batch of cumulative updates for Windows 10 includes a new release for Windows 10 October 2018 Update, or version 1809, as well.

In fact, the October update is the newest Windows 10 feature update that receives a cumulative update as part of this rollout, as the patch aimed at Windows 10 version 1903 (May 2019 Update) is still being tested in the Release Preview ring.

Windows 10 cumulative update KB4509479 for version 1809 increases the OS build number to 17763.593, so you can determine if the update installed correctly by typing winver in the Start menu and then checking the OS version.

This update comes with a single fix for a bug that broke down some features of the Event Viewer after installing a previous cumulative update. Microsoft explains the following in the release notes:

“Addresses an issue that may prevent devices from connecting to some Storage Area Network (SAN) devices using Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) after installing KB4497934. You may also receive an error in the System log section of Event Viewer with Event ID 43 from iScsiPrt and a description of “Target failed to respond in time for a login request.”

KB4497934 is a cumulative update that was published by Microsoft on May 21 and increased the OS build number to 17763.529.Three known issues in KB4509479There are three known issues in the update, all of them acknowledged by the software in the previous releases.

First of all, certain operations on files or folders located on a Cluster Shared Volume could fail with error STATUS_BAD_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL (0xC00000A5). A fix is already in the works, but no ETA is available.

Then, some Asian language packages might no longer work and users could see error 0x800f0982 – PSFX_E_MATCHING_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND. Again, Microsoft says it’s working on a fix already, and it will be included in an upcoming release.

And last but not least, some devices might end up stuck on a black screen on the first boot after installing the update. The workaround is to initiate a force reboot.

Microsoft releases new patches for older versions of Windows 10 

 

Microsoft released new patches for Windows 10 versions 1809, 1803, 1709, and 1703 yesterday. These new optional updates bring the same quality fix for a bug that was introduced in a previous series of patches released for these versions of Windows 10 in late May.

Here’s what Microsoft said about this single fix in the changelog for the build 17763.593 (KB4509479) for Windows 10 version 1809. Again, the exact same fix is also available for Windows 10 versions 1803, 1709, and 1703:

• Addresses an issue that may prevent devices from connecting to some Storage Area Network (SAN) devices using Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) after installing KB4497934. You may also receive an error in the System log section of Event Viewer with Event ID 43 from iScsiPrt and a description of “Target failed to respond in time for a login request.”

Be aware that the patches for the versions 1709, 1703 of Windows 10 are only be available for Enterprise and Education users, as Home and Pro users are no longer receiving servicing. In the release notes for Windows 10 version 1809, Microsoft also reiterated that users still running Windows 10 version 1803 or older will soon receive the latest feature update that’s available for their device.

Any device running Windows 10 configured to receive updates automatically from Windows Update, including Enterprise and Pro editions, will be offered the latest Windows 10 feature update based on device compatibility and Windows Update for Business deferral policy. This doesn’t apply to long-term servicing editions.

As a reminder, Windows 10 version 1803 will reach end of service on November 12, 2019 for Home and Pro editions, and Microsoft announced last week that it will be using a machine learning model for updating PCs running the version 1803 or older to the latest Windows 10 release. By automatically initiating a feature update on PCs reaching end of service, Microsoft is making sure that these devices will keep receiving security updates.
