Blog reader Markus K. informed me about the update (thanks for that). It is a Universal Update Platform (UUP) update, which is currently being tested selectively by some users.
What is the Universal Update Platform (UUP)?
At the end of 2016, Microsoft announced its plans for the Universal Update Platform (UUP), in which differential updates will reduce package size by 30-40%. I had reported on the details in the blog post Windows 10 UUP shrinks update package size under 1GB. As a result, updates and feature updates were downloaded much more quickly. Within the blog post An update on our Unified Update Platform (UUP) Bill Karagounis of Microsoft explained in March 2017 the latest findings about the UUP approach.

The above graph shows the improvements in download size between different Windows builds – the green bars show a differential download per UUP, while blue shows the conventional method with .ESD package. It's dramatic what's going on. Microsoft assumes that the download sizes for insider builds can remain below 1 GByte. Starting with the Windows 10 Creators update, UUP is also integrated in the version accessible to end users.
