Quote:It is the second Tuesday of the month, which means that it is time for Patch Tuesday updates. As usual, all supported versions of Windows receive updates on Patch Tuesday, which include all Windows 10 versions other than version 1511, Windows 8.1, and only the users of Windows 7 that have opted to receive the Extended Security Updates (ESUs).
 
As usual, these updates are split into two sets – a monthly rollup and a security-only update. While the monthly rollup can be installed via Windows Update, the security-only update must be installed manually.
For Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, the monthly rollup is labeled KB4586845 and can be manually downloaded from the Update Catalog here. Below are the improvements and fixed made this month:

• Corrects the DST start date for the Fiji Islands to December 20, 2020.

• Security updates to Windows Graphics, Windows Silicon Platform, Windows Authentication, Windows Core Networking, Windows Peripherals, Windows Network Security and Containers, Windows Hybrid Storage Services, Windows Remote Desktop, and Microsoft Scripting Engine.
