Patch Tuesday updates are now live for all supported versions of Windows 10. These mandatory updates bring all the fixes from the "C" release updates that were delivered to Insiders earlier, along with security fixes.
Today's Windows 10 update is available for version 21H1, version 20H2, and version 2004 (all of which share a common core operating system and receive the same updates). These updates are also available for version 1909 (KB5005566 - Build 18363.1801), version 1809 (KB5005568 - Build 17763.2183), version 1607 (KB5005573 - Build 14393.4651), and the original version (KB5005569 - Build 10240.19060) of the operating system.
