DU for Sources .963 DU for SafeOS .899 These are only in cab format (not msu). Does this also mean they are not needed for a live system? (only needed for fresh install media?)
Today is the first Thursday of May, CUs are released on the second Tuesday and 21H1 will be probably released after that.
This has been discussed few times before. Here is what you have to know: The dynamic updates are installed on a live system automatically (if configured so) during upgrades to avoid known issues. It is possible to include the dynamic updates on an image used to upgrade the OS and in this case those dynamic updates are no longer required to be downloaded dynamically from Windows Update during the upgrade process. This is mainly the procedure which MDL posts which recommend installing dynamic updates make reference to. On a running system which is not getting upgraded and gets normal updates, the dynamic updates are not required. So dynamic updates have a meaning only during upgrading the OS from one version to another and nowhere else.
not a big thrill still 18362 build for almost two years I think if it wasn't for Covid we would had something bigger changed like sun valley for may 2021 update
with that post you’re basically showing that you have no idea of what you’re talking about. what you are describing with "practically nothing more than a CU" is nothing more than an update that enables features that are already integrated even in Windows 10 2004 (with the newest update) but are disabled. that is because it’s better for everyone, Microsoft and their customers and has nothing to do with "M$ slowly phasing out development of Windows"
Thanks but after installing it, I am on 21H1 but for example I don't see disk management option in Storage settings which supposed to be one of the 21H1 options?
1507: original release 1511: major update 1607: huge update 1703: big update 1709: significant update 1803: major update 1809: significant update 1903: major update All above are full ESD/UUP major upgrades, no differences in being significant or huge or big, all the same. 1909: minor update <--- from 1903 by EP 2004: minor update <--- same as the red marked ones 20H2: tiny update <--- from 20H1\2004 by EP 21H1: practically nothing more than a CU <--- from 20H1/2 by EP
21H1 will go Final any day now & Insiders should start getting 21H2 Builds later this Month or 1st part of June in the Beta_Channel to take the place of 21H1.
IKTR, but here am talking/mentioning about public release AKA GA as not everyone is Insider here. So speaking generally.
Where is the link to the 21H1 EP .MSU file? Maybe I missed it, but all of the links I've seen to the 21H1 EP are to .CAB files and they amount to 26Kb (25,604) instead of the 167Kb you report. Is there a newer 19043 EP? I'm curious about what baggage there might be in the .MSU file. Yes, EPs are like watching MSFT pull rabbits out of there butts. But that's just my opinion and you don't have to pay any attention to it.
