Cumulative Updates Question

[Taintedmind]

Are the Cumulative Updates from Windows 10 updated in the Windows ISO file download for the initial Windows 10 install or does it just do the major update for the download, then every update in-between is required as a separate download after the fact?

 

Any useful info would be greatly appreciated; thanks

Only major ones. Like the 1903. Though major ones will include all updates that were released before it.

media creation tool now downloads 1903, but some minor updates after installation are also required.

Yes and no. It's just the major update (or rather, build), and after installing you'll be offered the most recent cumulative update available. Install Windows before the 2nd tuesday of the month, you'd get the update for the previous month. Install it on or after that 2nd tuesday, you'd get the update for the current month.

Having said that, it's quite easy to add updates to a Windows 10 install image. Not worth the effort when installing a single PC, but the moment you have dozens of systems it can be well worth the effort as it'll save you considerable time in the long run.
