Windows 10 patch updates for October are now going live. The company has just released this new patch updates for all the supported versions of the Operating System. This includes the latest Windows 10 version 2004, aka May 2020 update, as well.

• Updates to improve security when Windows performs basic operations.

There have been many security bugs in the May update of windows 10.

Microsoft seems to have addressed those bugs with its latest security update, in order to fix the vulnerabilities. The improvements which the company offered with its latest patch include:

• Addresses an issue with a possible elevation of privilege in win32k.
