KB4535996 Major fixes and changes
It’s a huge but non-security update. Its emphasis is on delivering different fixes for the users. You can skip it if you want because it will be offered as a part of the mandatory Microsoft Patch Tuesday release of next month. But the bugfixes mentioned on the KB4535996 support page are interesting enough that I would definitely recommend installing this update. Although there are a lot of fixes mentioned on the support page, I will only list down the major ones here: I have been going through Microsoft and Reddit forums and have seen some complaints about issues after installing the KB4535996 update. Some are unable to install the update while getting 0x800f0922 and 0x80070003 error messages. For some users, the update freezes while installing and some users are also seeing BSODs when they restart the computer after installing this update. I installed it on my computers and laptops but didn’t encounter any error. The installation went smoothly and completed successfully. I can say that only a very small percentage of users will have problems with this update. If you are one of them, you should uninstall the update.
