Patchday: Windows 10-Updates (May 10, 2022)

[German]On May 10, 2022 (Microsoft's second Tuesday of the month patchday), several cumulative updates were released for supported Windows 10 builds (from the RTM version to the current version). Here are some details about each of the April 2022 patchday security updates. Windows 10 1909 and 20H2 will receive security updates for the last time.

A list of the updates can be found on this Microsoft website (but the German language pages are not up to date yet). I have pulled out the details below. After all, Microsoft has been integrating Servicing Stack Updates (SSUs) for newer Windows 10 builds into the cumulative update since March 2021.

Updates for Windows 10 Version 20H2-21H2

For the Windows 10 versions mentioned above, Microsoft provides only one update package, which is mentioned below. Windows 10 version 20H2 receives a security update for the last time and drops out of support afterwards.

This issue occurs after installing the January 2022 security update on the primary domain controller emulator (PDCe).
