Windows 10, new mandatory security patches for all versions: Here are the changelogs

Just five days after Patch Tuesday, Microsoft released new surprise cumulative updates for all supported Windows versions. Unlike the other updates outside the Patch Tuesday, the new patches are mandatory: this means that the system will try to install them on the next reboot, even if they are not requested manually. The news is not very many, and we report it below:

The new patches include only one major fix, which fixes a bug that caused the print job to fail under certain circumstances :

• Updates an intermittent issue with the print spooler service that may cause print jobs to fail.

Other fixes :

• Addresses an intermittent issue with the print spooler service that may cause print jobs to fail. Some apps may close or generate errors, such as the remote procedure call (RPC) error.
• Addresses an issue that may result in an error when you install Features On Demand (FOD), such as .Net 3.5. The error is, “The changes couldn’t be complete. Please reboot your computer and try again. Error code: 0x800f0950.”

As with all cumulative updates, Windows 10 will download and install all previous packages that have not yet been installed, such as the optional ones released at the end of September.
