Notes on the updates

Windows 10 Version 2004, 20H2  und 21H1 share a common core and have an identical set of system files. Therefore, the same security update will be delivered for these Windows 10 versions.

All Windows 10 updates are cumulative. The monthly Patchday update includes all security fixes for Windows 10 and all non-security fixes through Patchday. In addition to vulnerability security patches, the updates include security enhancement measures.
