For the first time in a public release, Microsoft has released a Windows 10 cumulative update that is combined with a servicing stack update for ease of installation.
Microsoft sometimes releases a special update called a servicing stack update that fixes bugs or issues that may prevent a cumulative update from installing correctly.
Servicing Stack Updates are not released every month, and it can be confusing as to when they are needed and which update is required for a particular cumulative update.
Microsoft announced in September that they were planning to combine the required SSU update with the latest cumulative update to make this process easier.
Today, Microsoft released the Windows 10 2004/20H2 optional KB4601382 cumulative update preview via Windows Update.
With this release, Microsoft delivers the first combined LCU/SSU update to the general public via Windows Update.
