    No, of course not. What I tried to say is that it contains the new updates of the month and all previous updates from previous releases.

    The quote at the end of your post can be misunderstood as KB00001, KB00002 and KB00003 are NOT cumulative but KB00004 IS cumulative. All of them ARE cumulative, except KB00001 which has nothing to "cumulate".

    I am afraid you misunderstood. It is exactly right as written. 1, 2 and 3 are NOT cumulative. Only 004 is cumulative. Note those are just example numbers, not real KB numbers.

    Well, if a series of updates (like the monthly updates to Windows) are cumulative, then all are, not only some of them. From where is that quote?

    Huh? Sorry but this makes no sense.

    It is incorrect to claim just because "a" series of updates is (or "if" it is) cumulative, then "all" are.

    That is like saying,

    That basket of red fruit are apples.
    There is a basket of red fruit.
    Therefore, all of the fruit in that basket must be an apples.​

    Doesn't work that way.

    :( I included the source right before the quote. I also included other links.

    Either my english is c-r-a-p or you try hard to misunderstand me.

    You'll have to take that discussion with Microsoft who label all these updates "cumulative". The most recent one:

    KB5010342

    To make it clear, I refer to the updates in this specific series of monthly updates, not all series of updates! Updates not labeled "cumulative" are not but they can substitute previous updates.

    Sorry, I missed that one. Wikipedia is known for always being right ... :D ... !

    Actually, I try hard to understand you but because you seem to want argue every minute and out of context point without looking at the totality, it is very difficult. :(
    Actually Wikipedia is right most of the time when the context is supported with a bunch of citations to supporting evidence as is the case here. That is NOT to say Wikipedia is always right. But then of course, Wikipedia was not the only reference I included - but you decided to ignore the others and nitpick just that one. :(

    Well, thank you for finally clarifying and being specific instead of referring to hypotheticals, absolutes, and past anecdotal experiences.

    Now for me, that horse is dead.

    @retiredlearner - I go back to the first sentence in my first reply. If this update is going to be forced upon those systems users have failed, thus far, to update, I recommend they do it now on their terms and at a time of their choosing. And while millions and millions (and millions more) have updated with no problems, with an estimated 1.3 billion W10 devices out there, all becoming unique systems within a few minutes after first boot, no doubts there will be some that fail. So as always, have a robust backup plan, and use it - just in case.

    Well, you're the only one with with whom I end up in these argumentations/discussions and you initiated it in post #17, being unclear about "cumulative updates" so, don't blame me!

    I don't understand what you mean by "hypotheticals, absolutes, and past anecdotal experiences" but like you say, "that horse is dead".

    And yet, you keep beating it.

    Okay, one last time.
    :( Note your words,

    Hypotheticals:
    Absolute and hypothetical:
    Anecdotal:
    Forget what I have posted - it is clear you have chosen not to believe me. That's fine. That's why I posted 3 links to supporting evidence. But have summarily dismissed them too. So further discussion is pointless, and tiresome.

    Now the stench of that decomposed horse is overwhelming. Have a good day and my apologies to @retiredlearner for my part in this. I'm done here.
