Microsoft delivers the first Windows as a Service update for Windows 10

Microsoft rolls out a new update for Windows 10 as the operating system gets ready for general availability on July 29th. With Windows 10 close to completion, the work won’t stop, as Microsoft has previously announced that is moving to Windows as a Service model. This means that the work to improve the operating system is an ongoing process, and now the software giant is announcing a small update (KB3074665) to address a few bugs and patch several security wholes.

The latest update is available immediately, and it will download and install automatically, but you can always go to Windows Update using the Settings app to install the update manually.

Here is Microsoft Gabe Aul Tweets on the topic:

We're releasing an update package on WU for PC build 10240 today. It will install automatically or you can check for updates to grab it.

@anthonycook It will be described as a security update, but that's just because it's cumulative and includes the last package's security fix

@GoodThings2Life It is a package of fixes based on reported issues in 10240.

While Windows 10 won’t be out until July 29th, the operating system has already been reported as RTM, which if it’s true, this means that KB3074665 could be considered as the first update, Microsoft is releasing on the new Windows as a Service model.
