[German]On October 8, 2024 (second Tuesday of the month, patch day at Microsoft), various cumulative updates were released for the supported Windows 10 builds (from the RTM version to the current version) as well as for the Windows Server counterparts. Here are some details on the respective security updates for Windows 10 and the server counterparts.

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.

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.

The cumulative update contains various security improvements to internal operating system functions. No additional issues that have been fixed have been documented by Microsoft for this version.

Update KB5044277 for Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC /Windows Server 2019

Cumulative Update KB5044277 (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.

• [FrameShutdownDelay] Fixed: The browser ignores its value in the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" registry key.
• ​​​​​​​[Remote Desktop (known issue)] Fixed: Windows Servers might disrupt Remote Desktop connections across your company. This issue might occur if you use a legacy protocol in the Remote Desktop Gateway. An example protocol is Remote Procedure Call over HTTP. If the issue occurs, it is sporadic, like every 30 minutes. At that point, you lose sessions that you are signed in to. Then you must reconnect to the server. IT admins can track this as an end to the TSGateway service. It stops responding, with the exception code 0xc0000005.

The update is automatically downloaded and installed by Windows Update, but is also available in the Microsoft Update Catalog, via WSUS and WUfB. Microsoft has also updated the Service Stack Update (SSU). Please note the installation sequence described in the support article and, if applicable, the notes on further requirements and any existing problems.
