Microsoft has just released new “Patch Tuesday” updates for all supported versions of Windows 10, including the May 2019 Update. If you’re already running the latest Windows 10 feature update, you can now download the build 18362.295 (KB4512508) which includes the following fixes

  • Addresses an issue that may prevent devices from starting up or cause them to continue restarting if they are connected to a domain that is configured to use MIT Kerberos realms. Domain controllers and domain members are both affected.
  • Security updates to Windows App Platform and Frameworks, Windows Storage and Filesystems, Microsoft Scripting Engine, Windows Input and Composition, Windows Wireless Networking, Windows Cryptography, Windows Datacenter Networking, Windows Virtualization, Windows Storage and Filesystems, the Microsoft JET Database Engine, Windows Linux, Windows Kernel, Windows Server, Windows MSXML, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge.

If you’re still running the October 2018 update, the build 17763.678 (KB4511553) is now available for your PC with the following improvements and fixes:

  • Addresses an issue that may prevent devices from starting up or cause them to continue restarting if they are connected to a domain that is configured to use MIT Kerberos realms. Domain controllers and domain members are both affected.
  • Addresses an issue with a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) console user interface (UI) exception that occurs when you expand the Computers directory.
  • Security updates to Windows App Platform and Frameworks, Windows Wireless Networking, Windows Storage and Filesystems, Microsoft Scripting Engine, Internet Explorer, Windows Input and Composition, Windows Cryptography, Windows Virtualization, Windows Datacenter Networking, the Microsoft JET Database Engine, Windows Server, Windows Kernel, Windows MSXML, and Microsoft Edge.

The Windows 10 April 2018 Update is also being patched today with the build 17134.950 (KB4512501). Here’s what’s included with this update:

  • Addresses an issue that may prevent devices from starting up or cause them to continue restarting if they are connected to a domain that is configured to use MIT Kerberos realms. Domain controllers and domain members are both affected.
  • Security updates to Windows Wireless Networking, Windows Storage and Filesystems, Windows App Platform and Frameworks, Windows Datacenter Networking, Microsoft JET Database Engine, Windows Input and Composition, Windows MSXML, Internet Explorer, Windows Server, Microsoft Scripting Engine, Windows Cryptography, Windows Server, Windows Virtualization, Microsoft Edge, and Windows Shell.

As a reminder, the April 2018 update will reach end of support on November 12, 2019 for Home and Pro editions, and Microsoft has already started to push the May 2019 update to these devices for security reasons. This version of Windows 10 will continue to be supported Windows 10 Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise users, and that’s why Windows 10 versions 1709, 1703, 1607, and 1507 are also getting new patches today.

Now that this month’s Patch Tuesday updates are out, we hope that new Windows 10 20H1 or 19H2 preview builds are in the pipeline for later this week. We’ve been getting a new 20H1 build every week or so over the past couple of weeks, but 19H2 builds have been released less frequently. This may change next month as we get closer to the release of this minor update, which unlike traditional feature updates will install like a regular cumulative update. Stay tuned to OnMSFT as we’ll let you know as soon as we have more information about new Windows 10 preview builds.
