[German]On January 10, 2023 (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. Here are some details on the respective security updates for Windows 10.

A list of the updates can be found on this Microsoft website. I've 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.

For the Windows 10 versions mentioned above, Microsoft provides only one update package, which is mentioned below.

Cumulative update KB5022282 raises the OS build on Windows 10 Enterprise/Education 20H2 and all Windows 10 variants from 21H2-22H2 to 1904x.2486. The update contains only security fixes, but no new OS features. Microsoft states in the following details that the ODBC bug, which has been present for weeks, is fixed.

• This update addresses issues that affect the Local Session Manager (LSM). These issues might allow users who do not have admin rights to perform actions that only an admin can.
• This update addresses a known issue that affects apps that use Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) SQL Server Driver (sqlsrv32.dll) to connect to databases. The connection might fail. You might also receive an error in the app, or you might receive an error from the SQL Server.
• This update addresses a known issue that might affect startup on some Windows devices. They might receive an error (0xc000021a) and have a blue screen.

Microsoft also 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 as well as WUfB. Note the installation sequence described in the support article and also the notes on further requirements. Microsoft states known issues for the update in the support article.
