Corrine Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Microsoft has released cumulative updates with non-security improvements and fixes for Windows 10 April 2018 Update (version 1803) and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709). Version 1803: KB4346783 Version 1709: KB4343893) The updates are available from Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog. Note that there is a known issue for both versions if you use Microsoft Edge using the New Application Guard window. If you’ve experienced the issue and already installed the update, there is a work-around for Version 1803 in the referenced KB article. For Version 1709, Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release for that as well as an additional known issue that affects some non-English platforms.
