The delta updates contain only the patches from the previous month and no longer the entire update history of the relevant Windows 10 build.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Gr\u00f6\u00dfe von Delta-Updates zu kumulativen Updates\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/CyPIce7.jpg\" alt=\"Gr\u00f6\u00dfe von Delta-Updates zu kumulativen Updates\" \/><br \/>\n(Source: Microsoft)<\/p>\n<p>This should decrease the size of the update packets up to 40%. Microsoft has published the above chart with the size comparison between cumulative updates, express packages and delta updates. I discussed some more details within my blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2018\/07\/15\/microsoft-announced-the-end-of-windows-10-delta-updates\/\">Microsoft announced the end of Windows 10 Delta Updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Microsoft stops delta updates<\/h2>\n<p>Within the above article\u00a0 I had reported already in July 2018, that Microsoft will phase out the Delta updates for Windows 10 in favor of the Express updates available under WSUS &amp; Co.
