We're only a week out from Patch Tuesday, but Microsoft is shipping out another batch of cumulative updates for Windows 10 PCs. In all, updates are available for PCs on the Fall Creators Update, Creators Update, and Anniversary Update. Each contains a batch of fixes for lingering issues in each release.
For Windows 10 users on the Fall Creators Update, which make up the majority of Windows 10 users, the update pushes the build number up to 16299.334 with KB4089848. Here's a look at what's new:
- Addresses issue with a GDI handle leak in the Windows Ribbon control.
