Yesterday Microsoft released a new cumulative update for Windows 10 versions 21H2, 20H2, and 2004. As we reported yesterday , the update fixes the Print Spooler PrintNightmare vulnerability that affects all supported versions of the operating system.
Today Microsoft published links to download the updates (KB5005033) for installation on Windows 10 systems offline.
KB5005033 is a major update and will fully address the recently discovered Print Spooler bugs. As we reported yesterday, the way Microsoft solved the problem will probably make it more difficult for system administrators.
If you are currently using version 21H1 (May 2021 Update) Windows 10 May 2021 Update (21H1) now available for everyone ), you will upgrade to Build 19043.1165. For those on version 20H2, they will upgrade to Build 19042.1165 and finally those on May 2021 Update (version 2004), they will upgrade to Build 19041.1165.
You can update via Windows Update. If for any reason you need offline installers you can download them from the following link:
Windows 10 KB5005033 Download Links: 64-bit and 32-bit (x86).
The above link leads to the Microsoft Update Catalog. Find the update in the correct version of your operating system and click the "Download" button.
A .msu file will be downloaded which is the update you are interested in.
Following the March and April updates, Windows 10 also had some very annoying gaming issues. She states that this update will solve the problems permanently.
We'll see…
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
