Update KB4023057 for Windows 10
Update KB4023057 (Update for Windows 10 Update Service components) is distributed via Windows Update, according to this support article. The update is available for all Windows 10 versions, from RTM (1507) up to version 21H1, as well as Windows 11.

The update will be distributed on a cyclical basis in updated versions each time. Microsoft provides the following information in the support post:

- This update may attempt to reset network settings if problems are detected, and it cleans up registry keys that may prevent updates from installing successfully.
- This update may repair disabled or damaged Windows operating system components that determine the applicability of updates for your version of Windows 10.
- This update might compress files in your user profile directory to free up enough space to install critical updates.
- This update may reset the Windows Update database to fix the issues that may prevent successful installation of updates. Therefore, you may see that your Windows Update history has been cleared.
This update is not deployed to Windows 10 versions 1809 and later in the Microsoft Update Catalog, and generally not to WSUS. So, it is not available for WSUS used in enterprises for update management. More details can be found in the support article and the articles linked below.
