Microsoft has released the KB4598298 update for all editions of Windows 10 and Windows Server versions 1809 and 1909, with fixes for unexpected system restart issues, system crashes due to BitLocker, and multiple LSASS issues.
After installing the KB4598298 non-security preview cumulative update you may experience issues with system and user certificates getting lost if updating from Windows 10 1809 or later versions using outdated update media.
"The preview update for Windows 10, version 20H2 and Windows 10, version 2004 will be available in the near term," Microsoft added in a Windows Message Center update.
Further details regarding the types of updates Microsoft releases each month can be found inside Windows 10 update servicing cadence primer.
The update also fixes LSASS issues leading to server memory leaks when Kerberos Armoring is toggled on and to the process freezing after installing Windows updates released in September 2020 and later.
To minimize issues with this update, Microsoft also recommends installing the latest servicing stack update installed before this cumulative update is deployed.
