[German]On November 8, 2022 (second Tuesday of the month, Patchday at Microsoft), several cumulative updates were released for the supported Windows 10 builds (from RTM version to current version) as well as for the Windows Server counterparts.

A list of the updates can be found on this Microsoft website. I have pulled out the details below. Since March 2021, Microsoft has been integrating Servicing Stack Updates (SSUs) for newer Windows 10 builds into the cumulative update. The description of the fixes in the security updates is extremely brief. If you're looking for details on the fixes, you'll have to check the descriptions of the preview updates from previous weeks.
