Windows 10 Anniversary Update Receives its First Public Cumulative Update

Last week Microsoft released the Windows 10 Anniversary Update to the general public and it became the Current Branch release and is now known as Windows 10 Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.10).

Now today, just one week later, it is time for the August 2016 Patch Tuesday and like the clockwork that Windows as a Service (WaaS) is we have the first public cumulative update for the Current Branch of Windows 10.

If you are on Windows 10 Build 14393.10 you should find a patch in Windows Update beginning today that is labeled Cumulative update for Windows 10 Version 1607 (KB3176495) and it contains a collection of security patches, performance tweaks and bug fixes.

According to Microsoft, there are no new operating system features in this cumulative update bit it does address the following:

  • Improved reliability for Internet Explorer 11.

  • Addressed issue to keep pen click settings after updating to Windows 10 Version 1607.

  • Addressed issue that may cause Windows 10 Mobile devices to hang after turning Bluetooth on and off very quickly.

  • Security updates to Kernel Mode Drivers, Microsoft Graphics Component, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 11, and Windows Authentication Methods.

The patch also contained these security related patches:

  • 3177356 MS16-095: Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer: August 9, 2016

  • 3177358 MS16-096: Cumulative security update for Microsoft Edge: August 9, 2016

  • 3177393 MS16-097: Security update for Microsoft graphics component: August 9, 2016

  • 3178466 MS16-098: Security update for kernel mode drivers: August 9, 2016

  • 3178465 MS16-101: Security update for Windows authentication methods: August 9, 2016

  • 3182248 MS16-102: Security update for Microsoft Windows PDF library: August 9, 2016

That is it for Windows 10 this month but there were additional security patches released today for other supported Windows systems so be sure to see what we learned when we read those bulletins for you.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
