Highlights:
● Updates security for your Windows operating system.
According to the release notes, the highlights of this update mention that security has been updated. Under improvements, Microsoft says that this update:
● Addresses a known issue that occurs when you attempt to reset a Windows device and its apps have folders that contain reparse data, such as Microsoft OneDrive or Microsoft OneDrive for Business. When you select Remove everything, files that have been downloaded or synced locally from Microsoft OneDrive might not be deleted. Some devices might take up to seven (7) days after you install this update to fully address the issue and prevent files from persisting after a reset.
The major highlight of the release is security updates for Windows 10 and as is generally the case, the Redmond company has also listed the known issues in the update, which is always handy.

● Microsoft fixed incorrect tooltips when hovering over other icons like battery, volume, or Wi-Fi.
● We added a new entry point for the Widget app to show live weather content on the left side of the taskbar when you hover over it. Microsoft is starting with Weather but may expand to other content in the future.
