Windows 10 Build 19042.572 aka KB4579311
Here are the fixes in this build –
- The current build fixed possible elevation of privilege in win32k.
- It fixed an issue with the Group Policy service that might recursively delete critical files in alphabetical order from %systemroot%\system32. This problem befalls when a policy has been configured to delete cached profiles. These file eradications might lead to a stop error – 0x5A (CRITICAL_SERVICE_FAILED) boot failures.
- The update fixed an issue with creating null ports using the user interface.
- This patch contains Security updates to Windows Media, Windows Fundamentals, Windows Authentication, Windows Virtualization, Windows App Platform and Frameworks, and Windows Kernel Microsoft Graphics Component.
For more details about the resolved security vulnerabilities, kindly see to the Security Update Guide.
