According to the latest update, microsoft has also dropped a major patch for Windows 10 22H2, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 in patch KB5099539. Your Windows 10 system will install this important security patch automatically starting today, so you don’t need to check for it manually. It’s not just Windows 11 that’s getting a bunch of security updates and fresh functions today.
According to the latest update, after installing KB5099539, Windows 10 will have build number 19045.7548, reports BleepingComputer. KB5099539 is a security patch that patches all recently discovered vulnerabilities in Windows 10, ensuring that your PC remains secure.
In a fresh development, for example, it should resolve a bug in File Explorer that caused OneDrive shortcuts to stop working as soon as you ran File Explorer in administrator mode. Similarly, an incorrect error message when deleting files should no longer appear. Issues with certain keyboard shortcuts should also be resolved. Since it’s purely a security patch, KB5099539 doesn’t introduce any fresh functions… but it does fix some bugs.
Industry observers note that regarding the current status of the Secure Boot rollout, Microsoft says the following:. Important: Just like Windows 11 machines, Windows 10 PCs are also receiving fresh Secure Boot certificates.
Industry observers note that microsoft has been updating these certificates on PCs and non-managed business devices for the past months. Devices that haven’t received the newer certificates will continue to start, and standard Windows updates will continue to install. We will continue to install the newer certificates via Windows updates in the coming months. Secure Boot certificates used by most Windows devices were set to expire starting in June 2026.
Industry observers note that you’ll continue to receive ESU updates until October 12th, 2027. Your PC will only receive the KB5099539 patch if your Windows 10 has been enrolled in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program.
