Process – Servicing Updates Servicing Update Released Windows 10 Updates Cumulative! Miss a month? Just apply the next month’s update! WHY are Windows 10 Updates Cumulative? Not a net new approach “We believe the best Windows is continuously kept up-to- date with new innovations and security updates and have adopted the cumulative update strategy because we believe it is the best way to deliver a predictable quality experience for customers. Targeting updates for more predictable, known build conditions means we will have a much more comprehensive test, which was not possible for the millions of permutations that were possible with the non-cumulative approach.”
