[raptorddd]

if i were to clean install windows 10 21H2.

i know i can get the update on microsoft update catalog.

but i dont know the needed KB # .???

how do you find out the right KB to download.?

Are you trying to find a specific update?  If you just want the latest one, search the catalog for something like "windows 10 cumulative", sort by date, and download the latest one that applies to your system.

Yes.  They release two cumulative updates per month.

 

Towards the end of the month you have the PREVIEW update which has bugfixes and functional changes.  This is an optional update and it is not pushed out to systems unless they manually "seek" for updates.

 

Then, on the second Tuesday of the following month you have the "REQUIRED" update, which includes changes from the previous month's preview update (...with tweaks for stability if needed...) and also a batch of security updates.

 

(I generally avoid the preview updates...)

 

Occasionally there are out of band updates that do not follow this pattern, generally for emergency security issues.

i normally post standalone patches for Win 10 in this thread... All about Windows 10 (LTSC included) news and announcements

 

Ghacks.net, Winaero.com and windowslatest.com always post info about latest patches as well. A good advice for you..... Never install patches on release date. Neither from Windows update or as standalone update.
