Microsoft rolling out an official cumulative update to Windows 10

A week earlier than usual – the second Tuesday of the month, Microsoft is seeding a cumulative update with improvements and fixes to everyone on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. The latest official version of Windows 10 is updated to build 16299.251 with a fix of the USB bug experienced when connecting external devices like web cameras, keyboards and more.

Addresses an issue in which some USB devices and onboard devices, such as a built-in laptop camera, keyboard, or mouse, stop working. This may occur when the Windows Update servicing stack incorrectly skips installing the newer version of some critical drivers in the cumulative update and uninstalls the currently active drivers during maintenance.

Microsoft also details some known issues with this build (appearing as KB4090913), like an error message saying that the update failed to install. Although you may see an error message, Microsoft recommends to manually check which version you are running in Settings → About. Going to Settings → Windows Update, and scanning for updates, will let you install the latest build, or alternatively, go to this website for a manual download.

A second official update for March 2018 may be released on Tuesday, March 13.
