KB3206309 for Windows 10 Creators Update

Microsoft has released a cumulative update for the Windows 10 Creators Update. The new update is described as KB3206309, and it’s available for those computers enrolled in the Windows Insider Program.

KB3206309 bumps the build number to 14986.1001, Microsoft titled the update “Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version Next for x64-based Systems (14986) (KB3206309)”, but the list of changes isn’t yet available.

However, the description pointed out by Windows Update indicates that KB3206309 is simply a security update, and it doesn’t include any additional features or further enhancements.
