Windows Update Won’t Install Updates: Microsoft hasn’t had the best of times lately as far as Windows updates are concerned. Users are rightly and royally fed up with updates that break things, including Windows Defender most recently. Yet security updates are released for a reason, and Windows 10 users ignore them at their peril. Not updating can leave systems open to critical zero-day exploits like this one that’s out in the wild, or the now-infamous /”Complete Control/” hack attack. So when Microsoft takes the unusual step of telling Windows 10 users to install one critical update before installing the remaining October cumulative updates, it’s probably best to follow that advice.

What critical Windows 10 update does Microsoft say needs to be installed first?
Microsoft has released a critical servicing stack update (SSU) that applies to all versions of Windows 10 and which, as BleepingComputer reports, should help to resolve an issue whereby some users experience multiple restarts involving the secure boot revocation list.

What’s a servicing stack update, do I hear you ask? Thought so, as it’s not exactly a high profile Windows 10 component and rarely gets a mention even on tech sites. Microsoft describes an SSU as being an update that fixes problems with the component that installs Windows updates.

The SSU needs to be kept up to date as it’s integral to improving the reliability of the Windows 10 update process, something we all want to see. Microsoft says that it helps /”mitigate potential issues while installing the latest quality updates and feature updates./” Perhaps even more importantly, if you don’t keep up to date with the SSU releases, then there’s a chance that your device won’t be able to properly install the latest security updates. The servicing stack updates don’t appear every month; rather, they are issued as and when circumstances demand it. One thing remains constant though: SSU’s are classified as critical security updates.
