A list of the updates can be found on this Microsoft website. I have pulled out the details below. Since March 2021, Microsoft has integrated the Servicing Stack Updates (SSUs) for newer Windows 10 builds into the cumulative update.
Updates for Windows 10 Version 20H2-21H2
For the Windows 10 versions mentioned above, Microsoft provides only one update package, which is mentioned below.
Update KB5012599 for Windows 10 Version 20H2 – 21H2
Cumulative Update KB5012599 raises the OS build for Windows 10 version 20H2 to 19042.1645, for Windows 10 version 21H1 to 19043.16456 and for Windows 10 version 21H2 to 19044.1645. The update only contains security fixes, but no new operating system features.
Addresses an issue that causes a Denial of Service vulnerability on Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV). For more information, see CVE-2020-26784.
Microsoft notes that this update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack (is responsible for Microsoft updates). This update is automatically downloaded and installed by Windows Update, but is also available from the Microsoft Update Catalog and via WSUS and WUfB. If the update from May 11, 2021 (KB5003173) or a newer LCU is missing, the special, standalone SSU from August 10, 2021 (KB5005260) must be installed beforehand. For the update, Microsoft states various known issues in the support article. Thus, an RDP connection problem is rolled back via KIR.

The following updates are available for Windows 10 version 1909 released in 2019.
