[German]On May 14, 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, with the KB5037765 update for Server 2019 failing with error code 0x800f0982.
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. March 2023 was the last time preview updates were available for older Windows 10 builds.
Updates for Windows 10 Version 21H1-22H2
For the Windows 10 versions mentioned above, Microsoft only provides one update package, which is named below.
Update KB5037768 for Windows 10 Version 21H1 – 22H2
Cumulative Update KB5037768 raises the OS build for all Windows 10 variants to 1904x.4412 – with 21H2, only the Enterprise variant will receive the update. The update only contains security fixes, but no new operating system functions. The cumulative update simply states:
- This update addresses a known issue that might cause your VPN connection to fail. This occurs after you install the update dated April 9, 2024, or later.

Microsoft also points out that this update makes quality improvements to the Servicing Stack (responsible for Microsoft updates).

A couple of German blog readers reported an install error 0x800f0982 for update KB5037765. Nils S. contacted me by email and wrote that the first errors are already occurring with the Windows updates for Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2016.
