A list of the updates can be found on this Microsoft website. I have extracted the details below. Since March 2021, Microsoft has been integrating the Servicing Stack Updates (SSUs) for newer Windows 10 builds into the cumulative update.
Updates for Windows 10 Version 21H1-22H2
For the above Windows 10 versions Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 and Windows 10 version 22H2, Microsoft only provides one update package, which is named below.
Update KB5046613 for Windows 10 Version 21H1 – 22H2
Cumulative Update KB5046613 raises the OS build for all Windows 10 variants to 1904x.5131. The update only contains security fixes, but no new operating system functions. The cumulative update contains various security improvements to internal operating system functions. Microsoft lists these fixes as highlights:
- [Some games fail to start] Fixed: Some games do not start or stop responding after you install KB5044384. This occurs because some games use a third-party DRM component that is not compatible with that update. This update makes changes to support those games while the game developers address the DRM issue.
- [Some apps don't start (known issue)] Fixed: Quick Assist, Microsoft Teams, Windows Narrator, and others might not start if you do not run them as an admin.
The kernel driver block list has been updated for Windows 10 21H2:
- [Windows Kernel Vulnerable Driver Blocklist file (DriverSiPolicy.p7b)] Fixed: This update adds to the list of drivers that are at risk for Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks.
Microsoft also points out that this update makes quality improvements to the Servicing Stack (responsible for Microsoft updates). This update is automatically downloaded and installed by Windows Update, but is also available in the Microsoft Update Catalog and via WSUS and WUfB. Please note the information on installation and known problems described in the support article.

Cumulative Update KB5046615 (is sorted under Windows 10 v1809, but refers to the 2019 versions and) and includes quality improvements but no new operating system features. This update is only available for Windows 10 2019 Enterprise LTSC and IoT Enterprise LTSC (the remaining versions will no longer receive security updates on May 11, 2021) and Windows Server 2019. Microsoft lists the following fixes.
- [vmswitch] Fixed: A vmswitch triggers a stop error. This occurs when you use Load Balancing and Failover (LBFO) teaming with two virtual switches on a virtual machine (VM). In this case, one virtual switch uses single root Input/Output virtualization (SR-IOV).
